Why did they invent the polio vaccine?

Answer 1

Vaccines PREVENT you from catching a disease- MUCH better than curing you after you catch it! Within the past few years, vaccination has eradicated the disease of smallpox- it not longer exists, and people will not longer die from it.

To prevent these problems, the chickenpox vaccine was developed:

• Varicella pneumonia- Pneumonia can develop if the chickenpox virus travels to your lungs.
• Acute cerebella ataxia- Virus affects the brain. Although rare, this complication is most likely to affect older children with chickenpox.
• Encephalitis (inflammation of brain)
• Meningitis (inflammation of tissue around spinal cord)
• Vision loss. Chickenpox virus that spreads into the clear eye covering (cornea) can leave scars that can cause vision loss.
• Arthritis (swelling of joints)
• Death. Before introduction of the chickenpox vaccine in the United States in 1995, about 100 people died each year from chickenpox.
