Immunization is the process in which a disease (usually sterile or dead) is purposefully put in your system so that your body can produce anti-bodies and protect itself from the real version of the disease. Despite this, immunizations do have some rare side effects. These side effects include many traumas and deficiencies, but the U.S. government has established a department to help the victims of these side effects. These side effects are very rare, and occur only once in several millions of people.

How does the body fight back to a disease caused by a virus?
well the first time u get a new virus its hard for your body to fight if off,but the next time you get it your body will know what to do an destroy it leaving you healthy
What is the role of memory cells in providing acquired immunity?
The idea of immunisation is that you expose the immune system to the pathogen, ennabling it to recognise the pathogen and produce mature memory Helper T cells. This means that upon its second exposure the immune system is activated faster and more efficiently, allowing the immune system to kill off the pathogen quicker. In some cases antibodies are produced that can neutralise toxins, preventing their damaging effects. If memory T cells were not produced then the immune system would have to re-learn how to fight a pathogen every time.
What conditions prevent bacterial growth?
hot and humid environment
What is the difination of microbiology?
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms (eg bacteria, fungi, viruses). It involves both identifying new microorganisms and studying those already known to us, and is a very important area of scientific research. It also involves finding out how microbiology can be of use to humans, in areas such as food production, immunisation, and health. In addition to this, microbiologists also investigate the spread of infection and illness caused by microorganisms, and ways to treat or prevent this.
What is the difference between a bacterium and a virus?
Answer 1. A virus is not alive. Bacteria is. Bacteria can reproduce on their own, Viruses can't.Answer 2. Both a virus and a Bacterium can get into you through your lungs if droplet breathed, coughed or sneezed out by someone infected near you, or through your digestive tract when you eat ir drink infected substances, or through your genitourinary system like when having sex, or by penetrating your skin such as through cuts or wounds or through hair follicles.Once one gets in both a virus and a bacterium can multiply and so can colonise your body and that is what makes you ill. But they multiply in different ways and behave differently once inside you.Dealing firstly with Bacteria, they are a group of single celled microorganisms, only some of which cause disease in humans, these being called pathogenic bacteria. Bacteria unlike viruses reproduce by dividing into two cells which in turn divide, As well as dividing some types of bacterium also multiply be each producing a spore, that is a single new bacterium protected by a tough membrane that can survive high temperatures and lack of nourishment.Dealing secondly with Viruses, they are about one half to one hundredth the size of the smallest bacterium, and have a much simpler structure a single virus particle, known as a virion, consists simply of an inner core of nuclei acid surrounded by one or two protective shells known as capsids made of protein. These capsids are built from a number of identical protein subunits arranged in a highly symmetrical form usually either as a 20 faced solid or as a spiral tube. Surrounding the outer capsid may be another layers often lost when the virus invades a cell in a human body.Many viruses begin to invade human cells and multiply near site of entry into you, such as in your nose where you breathed in. They may come into your lymphatic vessels and spread to the lymph nodes, and many move on to your blood and in some cases within a few minutes have spread to every part of your body so making you very ill.The way a virus replicates is much simpler than a bacterium. The virus particle first attaches itself to and then injects itself into one of your cells, known as the host cells. The virus capsid then breaks down and the viral nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) contained inside is released.. The viral nucleic acid then replicates itself; the new copies of itself being made from raw materials in the host cell. Each of the new copies of the viral nucleic acid now makes a capsid for itself, then the newly formed virus particles get released in large numbers and the host cell may be destroyedSo they may make you ill by destroying or severely disrupting the activities of your body's cells they have invaded and start multiplying inside your specific large organs so causing disease when your vital organs are affected, as well in some cases by the virus interacting with the chromosomes of their host cells and by weakening the cell mediated arm of your body's immune system so your body's normal defence against a wide range of infections may be lost.With illnesses caused by bacteria, your immune systen is sometimes enough by itself to make you recover. Bit for bacteria caused diseases overall the main form of treatment is by antibiotic drugs, but antibiotic drugs cannot help you if you have a disease caused by vurus. With bacteria diseases some anti biotics such as penicillin are themselves bactertia; and destroy the invading bacteria, others such as tetracycline work by preventing the invading bacteria from multiplying further. Some bacteria illnesses like tetanus, botulism and gas gangrene are treated by an injection into you of an antiserum.While antibiotics are good for treating illnesses caused by bacteria, Antibiotics will not kill viruses and taking them for a viral disease is pointless. Overall viruses are more difficult than bacteria to combat with drugs because it is very difficult to design drugs that kill viruses. Drugs known as interferons, a group of natural substances produced by virus infected cells van protect uninfected cells. Otherwise treatment of viral infections depends mainly on alleviating your illness symptoms and trusting your body's immune defence to bring about a cure. Alternatively immunisation by highly effective vaccines before the virus gets into you are available to protecting you from getting many bad viral illnesses such as smallpox, polio, measles, , mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, yellow fever and rabies before the virus starts replicating and colonising your body.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of active immunisation?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of active immunisation?
How does immunisation stop you from getting infections?
immunisation is like an army so it killlss germs and doesn't make you sick.
Why is immunisation important for children?
it is vaccicination
What is the benefits of immunisation?
Reduced likelihood of catching the disease for which the immunisation was given, and if infected a reduced severity of infection. Immunisation also protects the community (those not immunised) when a certain proportion of the populace is immunised because the disease can not get traction for transmission in the populace.
What is the base word for immunisation?
The base word or root word is "Mun" from Latin meaning Gift or Duty.
What is the british immunisation program?
this site is rubbish
Who found immunisation?
chemist/scientist/doctor
What means immunisation?
Immunization, or immunisation, is the process by which an individual's immune system becomes fortified against an agent. In other words getting vaccinated or receiving a vaccine.

What is the word that means something similar to a vaccination?
Inoculate. Immunisation
How can meas-els be prevented?
There is a measels immunisation needle you can get from your doctor.
