A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. The terms vaccine and vaccination are derived from Variolae vaccinae known as cow pox. A term devised by Edward Jenner, who by 1798 used it as a title for his research for the development of the concept of vaccines and the creation of the first vaccine to file smallpox.
In 1881, Louis Pasteur proposed that the terms vaccine and vaccination be extended to cover the new protective inoculations that were being developed in Jenner's honor.
In the next video we present how vaccine works in the human body.
In the fight against the pandemic, we find ourselves in the fortunate position that what is good for us is also good for everyone else. By protecting yourself, you are slowing the spread of the pandemic.
You and everyone else have the same two clear personal goals during this pandemic: not to get infected and not to infect others.
In order not to become infected, you must do everything you can to prevent the virus from entering your body through your mouth, nose, or eyes. In order not to infect other people, your goal is to prevent the virus from spreading from your body to someone else's mouth, nose, or eyes.
What can you do? How can all of us, you and me, do our part to flatten the curve? The three main measures are called the three Ws: wash your hands, put on a mask, watch your distance.
