15.01.2022 WHY DO WE NEED VACCINES? Information brought to you by The Better Health Channel www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au Vaccines are clever, they trick our bodies into building immunity against infectious diseases, without causing the illness. Usually, a dead or weakened version of the disease-causing germ (bacteria or virus) is introduced to our immune system.... Our immune system is made up of special cells and chemicals (called antibodies) that fight infection. We gain immunity against diseases either naturally (by catching an illness), or through immunisation. Vaccines are made up of a modified version of a disease-causing germ or toxin (known as ‘antigens’). They are usually given by injection or a small drink that contains the vaccine. The immune system responds to the weakened, partial or dead germ or inactivated toxin (antigen) as if it was a fully-fledged germ, and makes antibodies to destroy it. These antibodies are made without us catching the illness. Depending on the infection, ingredients in vaccines can vary. They may also change from year to year as new strains of viruses (such as the flu) appear. Some vaccines may contain a small dose of: - a live (but weakened) germ - dead germs - small parts of germs (for example, a molecule from the surface of a germ) - inactivated toxins produced by bacteria - antibiotics or preservatives to stop the vaccine from becoming contaminated or going off - diluents (such as sterile water or saline). Australia has strict rules on vaccine safety. Before a vaccine is registered by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and made available to the public it goes through rigorous testing. And, even when it is used, it is constantly monitored for safety and effectiveness Vaccination is the most effective preventative measure against infectious diseases. Most vaccine preventable illnesses, are highly contagious, spread quickly and can cause severe complications which may impact on our quality of life. Vaccines give us immunity without us getting sick. They also protect vulnerable people in our community who cannot be immunised such as very young children or those who are too sick. It is always extremely important to stay up to date with your immunisations by booking in with your GP. Call us on : 9456 0184
