Immunity

The theory behind immunisations originated in Europe in the 1800’s, after an English doctor, Edward Jenner used a small dose of the smallpox virus to protect against smallpox in 1796 . Since then, immunisation, the process of fortifying an individual’s immune system against an agent has become a common method used to prevent diseases in men, women and children. Childhood immunisation has become a widely debated topic in Australia in recent years. It’s especially important for children to be…

their children. Even though there can potentially be severe side effects to vaccines, parents need to educate themselves in regards to them as they have not be proven to cause Autism, the schedule set for immunizations is effective, and that herd immunity is not effective at protecting your child. Over the past few years, there has been considerable speculation on whether the MMR vaccine causes Autism in children. The reason for this is that the onset of Autism will usually surface around…

because he has not received the vaccine and as a result his immune system may be compromised. In his case, his immune system needs to make antibodies, we called it active immunity. Active immunity is exposure to antigen. It is an adaptive response of the body and it is categorized as acquired or natural. By contrast the passive immunity is the presence of the antibody IgG to defend the body against invaders for a short time said an expert in occupation; medicine. “Patient will receive human…

Introduction Humans rely on the immunization system to gains immunity from infection, however, this system only provided limited protection because diseases like measles are too dangerous to be infected. As a result, vaccination has been invented and has prevented considerable of death since it began being used in many countries. Nevertheless, as the majority of youth are likely to receive vaccines, parts of the parents started to concern about risks of vaccinating children because of some…

pathogen. This immunity relies heavily on phagocytic cells such as neutrophils, basophils and macrophages that recognize pathogens and immediately act to destroy the foreign material. The second line of defense is known as adaptive immunity. This form of immunity is antigen-specific because it is capable of remembering a previous antigen. Because it is able to remember and recognize its previous foes, adaptive immunity can generate antibody-mediated immunity (AMI) and/or cell-mediated immunity…

Vaccinations are a controversial issue in the United States because of the debate on whether or not they cause harm. The importance of communicating the benefits and risks of vaccines in today’s society is important. However, people who are against vaccines say that since many once dreaded fatal diseases have nearly disappeared from the United States, to vaccinate children against them is pointless. Continuing, childhood vaccinations provide reduced economic costs of diseases to parents. The…

website Our World in Data, when the measles vaccine was introduced nationwide across the U.S. the number of cases per 100,00 people dropped from an yearly high of about 420 to an average of about 25. This may be due in part to a concept called herd immunity, in which with more of a population immune to a virus, the less likely others will be infected (immunized or not). Vaccines are also safe because of how they work, by using the body’s established defenses to create…

kill thousands of people including many children, but with the use of vaccines the number of cases of these diseases has gone down. Herd immunity is the resistance to the spread of a contagious disease within a population that is the result of high immunity within the population. Vaccines help raise herd immunity by raising the number of people who have an immunity to the disease. Vaccines have also helped eradicate diseases. Smallpox is a disease which was estimated to have killed between…
