Why do we need vaccines

Vaccination is a safe and effective way to prevent disease and save lives – now more than ever. Vaccination is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases, before they come into contact with them. It uses your body’s natural defenses to build resistance to specific infections and makes your immune system stronger.Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease. However, because vaccines contain only killed or weakened forms of germs like viruses or bacteria, they do not cause the disease or put you at risk of its complications.Most vaccines are given by an injection, but some are given orally. 

Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defenses to build protection. When you get a vaccine, 
your immune system responds. It:
Recognizes the invading germ, such as the virus or bacteria.
\Produces antibodies. 
Antibodies are proteins produced naturally by the immune system to fight disease.
Remembers the disease and how to fight it. If you are then exposed to the germ in the future, 
your immune system can quickly destroy it before you become unwell.

நமக்கு காய்ச்சல் ஏன் ஏற்படுகிறது? What causes a fever

What causes a fever ?

     A fever is not a disease. It is usually a sign that your body is trying to fight an illness or infection.

Infections cause most fevers. You get a fever because your body is trying to kill the virus or bacteria that caused the infection.

    The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. 

One purpose of a fever is thought to be to raise the body's temperature high enough to kill off certain bacteria and viruses sensitive 

to temperature changes.

Pneumonia Causes,Symptoms and Pneumococcal Vaccine

Pneumonia is an infection that affects one or both lungs. It causes the air sacs, or alveoli, 

of the lungs to fill up with fluid or pus. Bacteria, viruses, or fungi may cause pneumonia.

Pneumonia Causes

Most of the time your body filters germs out of the air that you breathe. Sometimes germs, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, get into your lungs and cause infections.

When these germs get into your lungs, your immune system, which is your body's natural defense against germs, goes into action. 

Immune cells attack the germs and may cause inflammation of your air sacs, or alveoli. 

Inflammation can cause your air sacs to fill up with fluid and pus and cause the symptoms of pneumonia.

Signs and symptoms

The signs and symptoms of pneumonia may include:

Chest pain when you breathe or cough

Chills

Cough with or without mucus

Fever

Shortness of breath

Pneumococcal Vaccination

Pneumococcal disease is common in young children, but older adults are at greatest risk of serious illness and death.
