Vaccines are used to expose the immune system to harmful antigens and teach the body how to fight back. After fighting off the vaccine, the body retains a lasting memory of how to fight off that particular type of attack. Watch the animation to learn more. What diseases have you been vaccinated against?
funny, and informational

Cool!
ReplyDeleteI've been, and most of us if we go to the doctor regularly, vaccinated against lots of diseases especially when we're young, around 1-2 years old, most of them around that age.
Some are Hepatitis A and B, the famous swine flu, many other flu shots, TB (tuberculosis), measles, chicken pox, tetanus, polio,.... and many others.
Most of us SHOULD know this but fyi, there is no cold vaccine.
Also, there are vaccines that come in multiple doses, if you are young. I don't know them now but yeah. Check your own medical records. If you can read your doctor's penmanship, which tend to be messy as doctors are in a rush often...

The website, howstuffworks.com or whatever is actually helpful for a lot of other schoolwork... :) Internet rules! :):):):0:)
If vaccines help the body's cells remember the antigen and help it fight it off better, what's the purpose of the vaccine if it just contains the disease, which would be equal to you just getting the disease? Do you know what I mean Leslie?
ReplyDeleteSorry, it's just hard to explain!
i cant tell which is the "bad guy"
ReplyDeleteI've been vaccinated for polio, mumps, measles, and hepatitis.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't vaccinated for the swine flu because my mom heard that there were some problems with it.

The animation was really cool and very helpful! Thanks Leslie!
ReplyDeleteI tried a few times but I can't watch this animation or the one on allergies.

wow thats a cool animation and it's really helpful
ReplyDeleteCool animation! How do doctors or whoever makes the vaccination get the dead or weakened pathogen to put into the vaccine?

I totally agree with that guy's reaction to needles. OUCH!!
ReplyDeleteBack then,when there was yellow fever and small pox,doctors would poke ink quills into the scab and that was their "vaccination." How would that work?

ReplyDeleteits so cool that if you get for example a chicken pox vaccine your body memorizes how to kill it. then 20 years later the chicken pox can come back but your body already knows how to killl it... unless it changes.
