Why are some vaccines not suitable for all diseases?
Simply put there are to many diseases. Some of the existing vaccines, pneumovax for example,only protect against a certain bacteria, and the flu vaccine is redeveloped each year to protect against the strain that is predicted to be the most prevalent. Others, like shingles vaccine protect against the disease, do NOT guarantee immunity but help to lessen the severity and pain associated with the disease.
What are people opinon on vaccination that have side effects?
Side effects are generally mild, and occur sparingly. The diseases the vaccines PROTECT against, however, can leave people crippled, seriously ill, or can kill (but in a horrible, painful way). Believe me when I say, the vaccines are far better than the diseases they protect against, even if there are side effects.
How does immunisation protect us against cancer?
A universal vaccine against cancer does not exist. But you can protect yourself from those types of oncology that are caused by viruses. Among them are cervical cancer, liver cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma. It is proved that most of these diseases are caused by the virus. So, you need to make a vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) to protect yourself from cervical cancer. Vaccines against all types of tumors are being developed, but not applied. These vaccines are not still effective and safe enough.
