Vaccination Day: Rare Vaccines To Prevent Severe Illness And Developmental Delay
Vaccination is still less known, but essential; let's know which ones and why.
Vaccination refers to the administration of antigenic material to stimulate our immune system so that we are not affected by pathogens. These vaccines can either be administered orally or via injections. Without the advent of vaccinations, people would still have been dying of deadly diseases like measles and Hepatitis B.
Our body has antibodies which fights diseases on it's own without making us fall sick. However, sometimes these antibodies aren't enough and we get infected from various harmful micro-organisms. In order to make sure that this doesn't happen, we must get ourselves and our children vaccinated.
