Immunizations, or vaccines as they’re also known, safely and effectively use a small amount of a weakened or killed virus or bacteria or bits of lab-made protein that imitate the virus in order to prevent infection by that same virus or bacteria.
When you get an immunization, you’re injected with a weakened form of (or a fragment of) a disease.
This triggers your body’s immune response, causing it to either produce antibodies to that particular ailment or induce other processes that enhance immunity.
Then, if you’re ever again exposed to the actual disease-causing organism, your immune system is prepared to fight the infection.
A vaccine will usually prevent the onset of a disease or else reduce its severity. At Mediprima, we target to be a one-stop center for immunization and vaccinations.
