Vaccines - A Shot For Better Health

Vaccines are considered to be very important to keep our bodies healthy and fight viruses. They are made of weak or dead germs that cause diseases for eg., bacteria, viruses, or toxins. These vaccines help the body fight the disease faster and effectively so that you won’t get sick.

Types Of Vaccines

  • Live Attenuated Vaccines

    These vaccines use the dead or weak germs of the disease & give a strong and long-lasting immune response.

  • Inactivated Vaccines

    These vaccines use the killed part of the germ which causes the disease. It is not effective as the Live Attenuated Vaccines and might require frequent doses.

  • Subunit Vaccines

    This set of vaccines use some specific parts of the germ like its protein, sugar, or the capsid. They provide a robust immune response to the critical parts of the germ.

  • Toxoid Vaccines

    These vaccines use the toxin which is created by the germ. It, therefore, gives immunity to the parts of the germ that has caused the disease and doesn’t affect the germ directly.

  • DNA Vaccines

    These vaccines are strong and have its effects for a long time. They are also inexpensive and easy to produce.

  • Recombinant Vector Vaccines

    These work like a natural infection and help the immune system to fight the germs naturally.

Are Vaccinations Safe?

The Vaccinations are considered to be completely safe. Before introducing it to general people, vaccines go through a round of study, examination & research. The bulk research & the evidence show that vaccines are generally safe and side effects are very rare. And if in any case, side effects show it is very mild.

Pros & Cons Of Vaccines

Still, thinking about whether you should get vaccinated or not? We have some factors you can consider:

Pros

  • Vaccines help to prevent deadly diseases that sicken a person severely and can also kill.
  • Every vaccine is tested by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) where they approve or deny a vaccine. After thorough research & deeper observation, the vaccines are used which makes them safe for people to use.

Cons

  • Every vaccine is made of different components, thus if you face any allergic reaction then there is a possibility of getting an allergy again after taking a vaccination.
  • People with a weak immune system cannot be vaccinated and should be only done under professional supervision.

Common Side Effects Of Vaccination

While the side effects of a vaccine are very mild, there are some side effects which a person can experience:

  • Pain, redness at the injected part
  • Muscle weakness
  • Joint pain near the injected part
  • Sleep Disturbances
  • Fatigue
  • Memory Loss
  • Hearing or Vision Loss
  • Seizures

Low-grade to high-grade fever

Some of these symptoms rarely occur and people sometimes have no side effects.

Vaccines have cured many deadly diseases like Polio and Measles. There are parts of the World where vaccination has still not reached. WHO is still making drastic efforts to make vaccines accessible to every part of the world. Getting vaccinated just not saves us from getting infected but it also protects the people around us.
