Antibiotics:
- Antibiotics kill indiscriminately.
- Antibiotics are effective for stopping the reproduction process of bacteria and do not have any effect on viruses.
- These are also not to be used for preparing for potential future infection, but rather for when there is a current bacterial infection.
- Inappropriate use of antibiotics is a growing concern in the world with some bacteria developing antibiotic-resistant strains, like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), rendering certain antibiotics ineffective.
Vaccines:
- Vaccines are highly targeted.
- Vaccines are right to be used for protection against potential future infection.
- Vaccines are designed to induce a protective immune response in your body.
- The specific, protective immune cells have a memory component so that you can be adequately protected for any future infection by that particular virus.
- These memory cells allow for a quick response to that future infection so that when exposed to that virus, you are quickly protected and can avoid being sick.
- Some vaccines are given immediately at birth, like MMR, and others throughout a child’s life as certain things are more common to affect them,like meningococcal.
hope it helps.
