How do immunizations fight disease in your body By: Tindall Morring
What are they? • Immunizations work with your body’s natural defenses to develop immunity to diseases • Germs like bacteria and viruses enter your body and they immediately multiply causing illness • Your immune system fights infection so that the body is left with a supply of cells to fight diseases in the future
How do they work? • Immunizations help develop immunity to diseases by imitating a disease • After an immunization the immune system will have the same response as it does to the real infection so the body can produce antibodies against that disease • This will prevent or reduce the severity of disease in the future http://www.bridgetgongol.com/2013/09/the-truth-about-vaccines.html
What could go wrong? • After getting an immunization the imitation disease may sometimes cause some minor illness such as a slight fever • This is very common while the body is building up immunity
Common Immunizations • Measles: a red rash on the skin and fever, spread through respiration, most common during childhood • Influenza: “the flu”, severe aching of the muscles, headache, soar throat, fever • Whooping cough: extremely severe coughing fits, most common in children http://www.yurtopic.com/health/diseases-conditions/child-with-fever.html http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/feb/08/measles-outbreak-hits-18-year-high
