| Answer» <p>Diphtheria (the 'D' in DTaP vaccine)Tetanus (the 'T' in DTaP vaccine; also known as Lockjaw)Pertussis (the 'P' in DTaP vaccine, also known as Whooping Cough)Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b)Hepatitis B.Polio.Pneumococcal Disease.</p> <p>Infants and young children have to face numerous attacks by viruses and bacteria. When you are a bit familiar with Evan infant under age one you will get used to the fact that these children blow big green bubbles from their noses for three or four days every month building up immunity to al kind of common cold viruses. As a child we learn our immune system to cope with these little bastards without much of a do. But some bacteria and viruses are real badasses. The bacteria that cause tetanus cannot be defeated by our immune system. We are dead before the system is ready to cope. When you are vaccinated against tetanus then your immunesystem is ready for the fight and the bacteria do not have a chance. So it happens that our immunesystem is able to cope with most common bacteria and viruses, but some are real killers. Those really dangerous bastards are: small pox, now extinct thanks to a WHO campaign, poliomyelitis, tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella (dangerous for intra uterine babies). New to the system of vaccinations are those against Hepatitis, important for people working in health care, HPV, prevention of cervical cancer and throat cancer. In regions where yellow fever is endemic a vaccination against yellow fever is the right thing to do, the same for rabies, (a terrible killer). Vaccination is the very best the medical science ever had discovered! Follow the advise of your local community health department and when you travel abroad take advise from people who have the knowledge.</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>how is vaccine produced</p> | |
