Our body has many ways of defending itself against pathogens such as
 
💪Physical barriers that prevent them from entering the body
💪Immune systems that destroy them once they infect our body

How do vaccines work?

http://bit.ly/3efxPJe
When a 🆕 pathogen/disease enters our body, it introduces a new antigen.
 
Our body then produces antibodies that work with the rest of the immune system to destroy the antigen and stop the disease.

How do #VaccinesWork?
 
1⃣Vaccines contain weakened non-dangerous parts of an antigen
2⃣It's enough that our body can learn to build the specific antibody
3⃣This will prompt our immune system to respond & defeat the real antigen in the future

Antigen is the 🗝️ ingredient in a vaccine. It's either a tiny part of the disease-causing organism, or a weakened, non dangerous version.
 
It's tiny enough that our body can learn to fight the virus without getting sick. Learn more 👉 http://bit.ly/2TPACiE   #VaccinesWork
Vaccines help to protect us by enabling our bodies to produce antibodies ahead of potential infection.

Vaccines go through 3 testing phases before they can be approved:
 
1⃣ Small scale safety trials
2⃣ Expanded safety trials
3⃣ Large scale efficacy trials
 
The number of volunteers around🌎🌏🌍 increases at each stage to assure #VaccinesWork for many different populations.
Vaccine-preventable diseases include

Cervical cancer
Cholera
Diphtheria
Ebola
Hep B
Influenza
Japanese encephalitis
Measles
Meningitis
