Vaccines and immunization: What is vaccination?
23 Nov 2024 at 3:23am
Vaccines protect us throughout life and at different ages, from birth to childhood, as teenagers and into old age. In most countries you will be given a vaccination card that tells you what vaccines you or your child have had and when the next vaccines or booster doses are due. It is important to make sure that all these vaccines are up to date.

Protein-based vaccines: These contain harmless fragments of proteins or protein shells that mimic the COVID-19 virus to safely generate an immune response, Viral vector vaccines: These use a safe virus that cannot cause disease but serves as a vehicle to produce coronavirus proteins to generate an immune response, and

WHO has published the target product profiles for COVID-19 vaccines, which describes the preferred and minimally acceptable profiles for human vaccines for long term protection of persons at high ongoing risk of COVID-19, and for reactive use in outbreak settings with rapid onset of immunity.

Some vaccines require multiple doses, given weeks or months apart. This is sometimes needed to allow for the production of long-lived antibodies and development of memory cells. In this way, the body is trained to fight the specific disease-causing organism, building up memory of the pathogen so as to rapidly fight it if and when exposed in the ...

COVID-19 vaccines are safe. Strict precautions are in place to help ensure the safety of all COVID-19 vaccines. Before receiving validation from WHO and national regulatory agencies, COVID-19 vaccines were subject to rigorous testing in clinical trials to prove that they meet internationally agreed benchmarks for safety and efficacy.

Early experiments with influenza vaccines are carried out: the US Army Medical School tests 2 million doses in 1918, but results are inconclusive. Read more about the history of Influenza vaccination. In 1937 Max Theiler, Hugh Smith and Eugen Haagen develop the 17D vaccine against yellow fever. The vaccine is approved in 1938 and over a million ...

Vaccines could significantly reduce the substantial economic costs of AMR. Globally, the hospital costs of treating resistant pathogens evaluated in the report are estimated at US$ 730 billion each year. If vaccines could be rolled out against all the evaluated pathogens, they could save a third of the hospital costs associated with AMR.

Childhood vaccines save 3.5 to 5 million lives every year. In 2021, COVID-19 vaccines are estimated to have saved 14.4 million lives globally. Together with governments, vaccine manufacturers, scientists and medical experts, WHO's vaccine safety programme is constantly helping monitor the safety of vaccines.
