Vaccination is crucial in disease prevention. Vaccines keep you healthy, as with a healthy diet and regular exercise. They also make you less vulnerable to illnesses.
Germs can be found everywhere and can cause a range of illnesses, from the common cold to more serious infections. Germs can spread through the air, through close contact with infected people or surfaces, or through contaminated food or water.
Your immune system fights the germs that you are exposed to daily. Vaccination strenghtens your immune system.
Vaccination teaches your body to fight diseases by getting your immune system to recognise viruses and learn to handle the germs as if you have been exposed to the disease. Should you be exposed to the disease in future, your body’s immune system will be better able to fight it.
If you are infected before you get vaccinated, some individuals are at risk of falling seriously ill. Severe infections can lead to significant medical complications, and even death.
Besides leading a healthy lifestyle by choosing healthier options when eating and exercising regularly, it is also important to strengthen your immunity to fight infectious diseases.
