We often develop lifelong immunity when we have had a disease. However, some diseases may lead to serious complications and sometimes death. The aim of vaccination is to obtain this immunity without any of the risks of having the disease.
When we vaccinate, we activate the immune system's "memory." During vaccination, a weakened microbe, a fragment, or something that resembles it, is added to the body. The immune system is then activated without us becoming sick.
For some diseases, vaccination provides lifelong protection, while for others the effect is diminished after a few years and booster doses are required. ()
Many dangerous infectious diseases can be prevented in this simple and effective way. Talk to your pharmacist at The Local Choice Pharmacy about recommended vaccines for you and your family.
