Is being vaccinated for a disease such as measles can protect a person from that disease for the rest of his or her life?

Generally not. Most doctors will keep your vaccination record and recommend booster shots whenever necessary. On the whole, as long as you follow your doctor's recommendations, your chance of encountering measles is pretty low.


Explain how vaccines help in combating diseases?

Immunity to a disease is achieved through the presence of antibodies to that disease in a person's system. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralize or destroy toxins or disease-carrying organisms. Antibodies are disease-specific. For example, measles antibody will protect a person who is exposed to measles disease, but will have no effect if he or she is exposed to mumps. There are two types of immunity: active and passive. Active Immunity Active immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Exposure to the disease organism can occur through infection with the actual disease (resulting in natural immunity), or introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination (vaccine-induced immunity). Either way, if an immune person comes into contact with that disease in the future, their immune system will recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight it. Active immunity is long-lasting, and sometimes life-long.

Why is a vaccination long term ability of the body to resist disease?

Vaccination stimulates the immune system to recognize and respond to specific pathogens by introducing a harmless component of the pathogen, such as a protein or inactivated virus. This exposure helps the body produce memory cells that "remember" the pathogen, allowing for a faster and more effective immune response upon future encounters. As a result, vaccinated individuals have a long-term ability to resist disease, as their immune system is primed to act quickly and effectively against infections that the vaccine protects against.


How does using vaccination compare to changing the mixing or population density of the field?

Vaccination is a targeted intervention that helps to build immunity within a population, reducing the spread of infectious diseases without altering social behaviors or environmental factors. In contrast, changing mixing patterns or population density directly influences the dynamics of disease transmission by modifying interactions among individuals. While vaccination can provide long-term protection and herd immunity, altering mixing or density may only provide temporary relief from outbreaks and can be logistically challenging to implement. Both strategies can be complementary, but vaccination generally offers a more sustainable solution to controlling disease spread.


What happens if you get a vaccination twice?

Getting a vaccination twice sometimes happens when there is a doubt about whether or not a person has had the vaccination before. In these cases, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a new vaccination, and says there is little to no effect from having a repeat vaccination.
