Sorry, there IS no vaccine for AIDS. There are vaccines for many diseases, including tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, polio, cholera, influenza and Hepatitis B. The disease of smallpox has been eradicated by vaccination, and no longer is found outside of the laboratory.
Vaccines only protect for one disease.
A vaccines helps because they put some of the disease in your body then your body can get use to it so if you get that disease your body can easily fight it out of you!
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.
No. Vaccines are not used for treatment. They are used as prevention.
Vaccines don't kill viruses or diseases; they prevent disease before you are infected.
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.
Vaccines prevent diseases, medications treat them.
IT is prepared by weakening or killing a germ of that disease which is not strong enough to cause a disease. vaccines are given through a needle. these causes antibodies in the body's immune system which protect the body from diseases.
Currently, all vaccines on the market today only exist for diseases caused by viruses- though not all diseases caused by viruses have a corresponding vaccine. Notably, the common cold (rhinoviruses) and AIDS (HIV) have no vaccines.
Prevention of infectious diseases when vaccines are available for them. There are vaccines available for many viral and some bacterial contagious diseases.
Yes
We need vaccines to protect us from infectious diseases and to trigger the immune system to respond with production of antibodies made for that specific pathogen. See the related questions for more details of how this works.
