RE: Importance of immunization
Immunization is the process of introducing a vaccine into the immune system to protect a person from a certain disease. A vaccine is a medicine used for immunization purpose. There are different vaccines used for many conditions. Some of the illnesses are immunized while others are not. This is because not all the diseases have a vaccine. Diseases such as tuberculosis and polio have a vaccine and there for they are known as immunizable diseases.
Immunization is critical to our daily lives because it has saved life and improved life span of people and even some of other animals. Children, who are very prone to death due to early attack by diseases, have been secured for the discovery of the vaccines. It is clear that most of these immunezable diseases attack children after birth to ten years.
Immunization also has led to the extinction of very dangerous diseases such as cholera. Unlike olden days where cholera swept lives of many people, life has changed and no more those death since children are immunized at an early age (Stavans).
Vaccination has saved money and time. People do not need to spend many resources and time to treat diseases that have vaccines. What is required of us is to give children vaccines that will protect them through their entire lives. In addition to that, doctors need to concentrate on the treatment of other diseases instead of wasting time for illness in which their vaccine is available.
