why are children given vaccination
Answers
Explanation:
Immunization coverage refers to the percentage of a population that has received recommended vaccines.
1 in 3 children under 2 years of age in B.C. has not received all of the recommended vaccines.
The percentage of children who have received all of their recommended vaccines before their second birthday has ranged from 65% to 73% in recent years in B.C.
The BC Centre for Disease Control publishes immunization coverage reports here.
Monitoring immunization coverage is important to identify the potential for outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases.
When immunization rates drop, the chances of a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak increases.
Following the recommended schedule helps to improve immunization coverage and decreases the chances of vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks.

1 } When a disease-carrying microbe enters our body, the body produces antibodies to fight the invader. The body also remembers how to fight the microbe if it enters again. So, if dead or weakened microbes are introduced into a healthy body, the body fights and kills them by producing suitable antibodies.
2 } The antibodies remain in the body and we are protected from the disease-causing microbes. This is how a vaccine works. Several diseases, including cholera, tuberculosis, smallpox and hepatitis can be prevented by vaccination. In your childhood, you must have been given injections to protect yourself against several diseases.
3} It is essential to protect all children against these diseases. Necessary vaccines are available in the nearby hospitals. You might have seen the advertisement on T.V. and newspapers regarding protection of children against polio under Pulse Polio Program. Polio drops given to children are actually a vaccine.
4 } A worldwide campaign against smallpox has finally led to its eradication from most parts of the world. These days vaccines are made on a large scale from microorganisms to protect humans and other animals from several diseases.
