A vaccine= Introducing a weakened or dead form of the disease into your body so that your immune system learns how to fight it back. Then your body can fight the real form.
People started inoculating themselves around 200 B.C. after they realized people who survived the smallpox outbreak never got it again.
First vaccines were made of a live virus from infected material, which caused people to actually get the full blown disease
History of Vaccines
![Page 3: Child Development Unit 5: Health and Safety. A vaccine= Introducing a weakened or dead form of the disease into your body so that your immune system.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649f585503460f94c7d1a3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some researches, in the fight to find the cause of autism say that immunizing your child may cause autism BUT it is VERY important to immunize your child:◦ Since the invention of vaccines the
life expectancy of a human was 47 years. Today it has increased to 77 years because of these life saving medicines.
◦ Vaccines have helped to virtually wipe out many major diseases
Vaccines may cause Autism?

Vaccines work! They may be the single greatest medical discovery in history!
Vaccines have helped to virtually wipe out 12 major infections from the modern world:◦ Chickenpox Polio◦ Diptheria Tetanus◦ Invasive H. Flu Typhoid Fever◦ Malaria Yellow Fever◦ Measles Small Pox◦ Pertussis Hepatitis B◦ Pneumococcal Disease
Miracle of Vaccines

Before 1995, the chickenpox was a right of passage for all kids.
The disease caused itchy red bumps on the skin and was spread through the air
Most cases wre minor, but serious cases could cause inflammation of the brain
Most kids were left with scars from the disease
Before the vaccine there were 11,000 hospitalizations and 100 deaths each year!
ChickenPox

Bacteria that effects the nose and throat
Spread through the air and by sharing items
Creates a toxin that produces a thick, gray or black coating in the nose, throat or airway, which also effected the heart and nervous system
First vaccine was in 1913 There are still 5,000 deaths world wide
for those who don’t receive the vaccine
Diptheria

Bacteria spread through coughing Not in any way related to the
regular flu Can lead to bacterial meningitis
(brain infection), pneumonia and swelling of the voice box, infections in the entire body.
First vaccine in 1985 Still 2-3 million cases in the world
which cause 450,000 deaths of children
Invasive H. Flu

Parasitic infection of the liver and red blood cells
Can be minor like the flue or severe causing seizures, coma and fluid buildup in the lungs causing death
Spread through mosquitoes Still 350-500 million cases
worldwide killing about a million children in Africa.
Malaria

Highly Contagious Viral Disease of the respiratory system that is spread through the air.
People develop brownish-red skin rash which tells us it is more serious that a cold
Complications can cause death Measles mortality dropped
from 871,000 to 454,000 between 1999 and 2004 because of the vaccine.
Measles

Very serious cough for children Spread through the air Mucus is so thick that the coughing can
cause them to choke on it and die. 10-20 deaths per year in the USA 50 million deaths world wide
Pertussis – Whooping Cough
![Page 11: Child Development Unit 5: Health and Safety. A vaccine= Introducing a weakened or dead form of the disease into your body so that your immune system.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649f585503460f94c7d1a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Infection spread through the body and usually seen as ear infections
90 types of the disease 200 deaths of children in the US each year 1 million deaths worldwide
Pneumococcal Disease
![Page 12: Child Development Unit 5: Health and Safety. A vaccine= Introducing a weakened or dead form of the disease into your body so that your immune system.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649f585503460f94c7d1a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Deadly infectious disease Usually infected through touching
stool of infected person 95 percent of cases have nearly
no symptoms Can cause flu like symptoms,
paralysis and loss of control in limbs, stiffness in joints
Vaccine became medical miracle for millions of people
First came in 1955. Disease has virtually disappeared!
Polio

Enters through skin wounds Once developed it creates a bacteria that
can lead to poisoning the nervous system and manifests as Lockjaw, and spasms of muscles
Tetanus

Spread through water, food or mosquitoes
High fever, Headache, stomach pains and weakness. Jaundice associated with yellow fever.
17 million cases and 600,000 deaths of typhoid world wide
200,000 cases and 30,000 deaths of yellow fever per year
Typhoid and Yellow Fever

Virtually disappeared from the Earth since 1979, some fear that a new more deadly form may appear and cause another plague
Fever, vomiting, spots on the skin that break open and spread the virus into the air
SmallPox
