What are vaccines and how can they help control the spread of disease?
- Vaccines protect us from disease by teaching our body’s immune system to recognize and fight the disease faster and more effectively.
- A vaccine is usually made from parts that look like pieces of the virus. This allows your body to recognize the active virus when you are exposed to it, and prime it to be able to fight back.
- You cannot get the disease from a vaccine, but without a vaccine you may get the disease.
- Many diseases have become rare or eradicated as a result of vaccines developed to protect us against them.
- It is likely to take several months to find one or more effective vaccines against COVID-19.
- Vaccines are created after many rounds of testing and research to see what side effects are possible and how safe and effective they are.
- Different research institutions across the country have developed vaccines.
- Without a vaccine against COVID-19,you may be wearing a mask and staying 6 feet apart for a very long time.
- Our future depends on what steps we take together to control the spread of the disease.
