Good morning my fellow hive friends and how are we doing today,
It is another week in scifi community with a new scifi weekly prompt and i am glad to write on it and i urge everyone of us to also engage in the community weekly prompt as it is a means of improving our own self knowledge and also engaging in other authors will also help us make new friends.
So welcome to my scifi weekly prompt talking about immunization.
It is my privellage to be writing on this wonderful prompt and also endeavor to read thank you.
Vaccine which is a means of helping the body system to fight disease by boosting the body immunity is what is practice in the whole world ,every country practice vaccination in one way or the other because it is approved by the world health organization (WHO).
this organization approved this for the help of our health and it is for our own benefits and before any vaccine is brought out,i believe world health organization must go through it and approve it .
Why i am explaining all these things is because i have came across so many people complaining about vaccines even tagging it a very bad thing , vaccines are very good because it helps our immune system,it helps the immune system by helping to boost it so it will fight the disease like outbreaks and the rest.
Just for example COVID-19,if not for the help of COVID-19 vaccine i wonder what the world could have been like.
We have so many vaccines and this vaccines are really good though some people dodge taking of vaccines due to the pain ,like me when i took the yellow fever vaccine at my upper arm it was really terrible to me because i could not use that hand throughout that day,it was really painful and also i have seen a friend who took COVID-19 vaccine and was having a serious fever that almost lasted for one week and some days but despite this,vaccines is a good thing if you have a complication after taking any vaccine just go to any nearest health center close to you and report,they know what to do definitely you will see a certified doctor or nurse that will attend to you and everything will be okay.
Like i said before vaccination is really good is just like there is a vaccine that is been taking to prevent tuberculosis and this vaccine is known as BCG(bacillus calmette guerin),this vaccine is given 0-2 weeks after birth (at birth),this vaccine helps to boost the immune system so it will fight the causative agent which is known as mycobacterium tuberculosis, mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative organism that causes tuberculosis.
When the BCG vaccine is given to us at birth it protects us for a lifetime thereby preventing us from contacting tuberculosis.
Though it have side effects which are normal thing and parents are also advice on what to do if the side effect occurs,such side effects is fever ,the baby might be running fever just bear it in mind that is a normal thing don't panic or have tension because of it.
Many of our parents are always afraid when the side effect manifest but believe me is a normal thing but to be at a safer side if you notice any side effect just take the baby back to the place of vacation.
Some of us here have the mark of this vaccine called BCG,just check your upper left arm you will see the mark there , though not everyone have the mark but majority have it.
REMEMBER AFTER VACCINATION DON'T MASSAGE THE SITE WITH PRESSURE BECAUSE IT WILL ALTER THE TEMPERATURE OF THE VACCINE,I BELIEVE WE ARE TOLD ABOUT IT BUT MANY OF US DON'T KNOW WHY.
There are so many other vaccines but i will continue another day.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING AND READING MY BLOG TODAY I REALLY APPRECIATE.
