    Although vaccination has proved to be an effective measure in preventing disease, controversies remain over whether the risks of side effects of vaccinations outweigh the risk of contracting the disease. Vaccination is the process when pathogenic cells are injected into the cells of a healthy person so that the body develops immunity through antibodies to that virus or bacterium. The U.S Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children get 16 vaccines including Diphtheria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae, influenza, human papillomavirus, measles, meningococcal, mumps, pertussis, pneumococcal, polio, rotavirus, rubella, tetanus, and varicella (Merino 7-8). Vaccines, along with an acute amount of the disease…

    MMR Vaccine Analysis

    • 1197 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The body notices that a unwanted disease has entered the body and tries to find a cure for it. To do this the body produces antibodies. Antibodies are substances produced by the body to fight the disease by combining chemically with substances which the body doesent want. Vaccines trigger the immune system to produce antibodies as though it has been infected with the disease. This means that if the person is to be exposed to this disease again the immune system will recognse it and produce the antboodies needed to get rid of the disease. This decreases the risk of getting the disease because the body is quicker to identify the disease and knows what antibodies to use. The MMR vaccine needs to be taken in two separate doses in order for everyone to give a maximum immune response to the disease meaning there will be maximum protection. The first dose is given at 12-15 months old and the second dose at 4-6 years old. Doing this twice means the antibodies get produced at a faster rate and at a higher blood percentage level which gets rid of the disease faster than what only one dose would. These antibodies produced after the MMR diseases enter the body give lifelong protection against these…

    Most vaccines contain a disease that is either very weak or dead. However, they do not contain a type of disease that can make people sick. Some vaccines do not contain any germs at all. Putting that little bit of disease inside the body makes the body’s defence system produce antibodies which fight off that kind of disease. The body makes antibodies in two different ways, one way is by getting the disease or the vaccine, however getting the vaccine is much safer when making the antibodies without having the risk of become disabled or maybe dying. The antibodies stay with the human for a very long period of time. These antibodies remember how to fight off a certain disease, which means that if the germ causes that disease enters the body at a later date, the body’s defence system will automatically know how to fight it off because of the antibodies. Most of the time the body’s defence system will remember how to fight the disease/germ for the rest of the human’s life. However, sometimes defence systems need a little reminder, a booster shot to remind the defence system how to fight off the disease/germ.…
