Hola amigos, most of the time, people think wrongly about vaccination; most see it as a way in which the government should terminate the population of the Nation. Vaccination, which is known to be a process of administering a vaccine to an individual, helps equip the immune system with the properties required to fight against their specific disease. Vaccination was created to prevent several diseases from affecting humans, which may be hard to cure when they become severe.
Most vaccines which we use today usually contain pathogens that are known to be bacteria or viruses that are capable of triggering the systemic production of immune cells and antibodies that can recognize and defend the body from pathogens. In the world we live in today, where several diseases are emanating from different human activities, most people fear taking vaccines due to some side effects that vaccines may have. Not taking the vaccine makes us prone to diseases; i.e, we can easily be affected by diseases that the vaccine fights against.
It will also be important to note that vaccine helps to prevent and fight against diseases. Vaccination programs that are usually organized by the government are of great benefit in protecting communities and individuals from serious health issues. Through vaccination, there is a lower tendency of individuals being infected with several diseases, thereby maintaining good health and also keeping the population in check to make sure that there is availability of labor force for human survival.
I can vividly remember back in school when I was just in primary five. Then I was vaccinated to help prevent yellow fever, which was the disease that was affecting most individuals especially young children at the time, I still remember that I was scared when I was about to receive the vaccine but I now know it was for my good, individuals should note that the major purpose of vaccine creation was to help maintain good health and prevent the thrive of disease over man's health.
There have been several theories about vaccination, which have got me laughing. During the COVID-19 period, the virus known as COVID-19 hit the world with the first, second, and third waves. This global pandemic gave rise to several theories like vaccines containing tracking devices and also microchips. This impacted the mindset of many individuals who thought that the government wanted to have control over their private lives.
Vaccines are usually tested and approved by the World Health Organization. Pandemics like coronavirus were not to be taken seriously. Individuals thinking that vaccines contain microchips would be behaving like children. There have also been several theories about the government making use of vaccines as a way of controlling population in their countries. This has been investigated and verified to be all fantasies, which are just ways of scaring individuals from participating in vaccination programs developed by the Federal government.
There is a popular saying that health is wealth and taking vaccination seriously is one of the steps of achieving health. I seriously value the process of vaccination. It is crystal clear to me that vaccines undergo several tests before they are approved by the World Health Organization for use. It is only an individual who doesn't know the importance of vaccination who will not take vaccination seriously.
I take vaccination seriously, which is why I have always been attending the vaccination program, which has been held on several occasions by day 245 recce battalion commanding officers through the years. I usually highly participate to stay on the safe side because prevention is key.
Note: Scientist Edward Jenner is known for his creative effort in developing the first vaccine ever used. Vaccine was used to fight against smallpox in 1796. He is honored and credited for laying a solid foundation in the development of modern-day vaccines.
