Vaccines are made of a part (not all) of what organism causes a disease. This part causes a response from the immune system. The immune system then makes antibodies that will fight off the organism. These antibodies will remain in the body and will respond very rapidly if they come across the "bad guys" again.

You would not like to have the diseases caused by these organisms. They cause some deaths and some very bad side effects. Many people who got polio never walked again and some had to live in something called an iron lung.

What is an explanation of How vaccines benefiicial?

Vaccines are beneficial because they stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens, providing immunity without causing the disease. This helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases, protecting both individuals and communities. By reducing the incidence of diseases, vaccines also decrease healthcare costs and improve overall public health. Additionally, widespread vaccination can lead to herd immunity, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated, such as infants or individuals with certain medical conditions.


Are vaccines beneficial for the majority of children?

Indeed, vaccines ARE beneficial for the majority of children. Vaccinations have nearly wiped out many contagious diseases -- unless parents did not vaccinate their children. MMR--measles, mumps, rubella (German measles)-- is one. Small pox another; polio containment a HUGE achievement. Besides deformities, like from polio, and years of medical treatments, many of these contagions resulted in death for babies and young children.


Why some people think vaccine is unnecessary unnecessary?

It depends on the vaccine. A body manufactures certain antibodies naturally. Most vaccines such as TDAP, and smallpox are not found naturally, so of course, if you are going to be exposed to smallpox or pertussis, you want the vaccine. Other vaccines, such as the flu vaccine, is not necessarily beneficial because most flu vaccines only protect against the five most common strains (there are thousands of flu viruses). However, if a child is too young to have developed immunity naturally, or if an adult is too old for his immune system to fight strongly, the flu vaccine is beneficial.

How are vaccines beneficial?

Vaccines are beneficial in that they have helped prevent millions of cases of infectious disease, and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Vaccines have eliminated the scourge of smallpox from the face of the earth, and polio and other diseases have been largely controlled. A vaccine acts by stimulating a person's own immune system to produce antibodies against parts of a bacterium or virus. When the person is once again exposed to that bacterium or virus, the body can quickly produce antibodies and prevent infection. In addition, vaccines can protect individuals who have not been immunized. If the percentage of the population that is vaccinated is high enough, epidemics can't take hold, as there are not enough susceptible individuals for the infection to spread. This helps to protect those individuals who are either unable to take the vaccine, unable to mount an immune response (chronically illl individuals, infants under 6 months old, people on immunosuppressant medications), or who had a poor response to the vaccine (and didn't become immune).

Definition of the conventional vaccines?

Conventional vaccines consist of whole pathogenic organisms, which may either be killed or live vaccines; the virulence of pathogens is greatly reduced in attenuated vaccines. This is classified into 2 categories :a)Live or attenuated vaccines; (eg : BCG vaccine)b)Inactivated vaccines (eg : Salk polio & Pertussisvaccines)
