Immunization Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease. Immunization is a proven tool for controlling and eliminating life-threatening infectious diseases and is estimated to avert between 2 and 3 million deaths each year. It is one of the most cost-effective health investments, with proven strategies that make it accessible to even the hardest to reach and vulnerable populations. It has clearly defined target groups; it can be delivered effectively through outreach activities, and vaccination does not require any major lifestyle change. World Immunization Week aims to highlight the collective action needed to ensure that every person is protected from vaccine preventable diseases. There are 4 main types of vaccines—Live-attenuated vaccines; Inactivated vaccines; Subunit, recombinant polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines. According to WHO guideline, complete or full immunization coverage is defined as a child that has received one dose of BCG, three doses of pentavalent, oral polio vaccines, two doses of Rota virus and one dose of measles vaccine. Edward Jenner is considered as the founder of vaccinology. In the West in 1796, after he inoculated a 13 year old boy with vaccina virus and demonstrated immunity to smallpox. In 1798, the first smallpox vaccine was developed. Immunization saves lives. It protects you, your family and your community. Immunization helps protect future generations by eradicating diseases. Many infectious diseases are rare or eradicated now as a result of immunization programmes, but new infectious diseases are appearing around the world. അനുഗ്രഹ ലോയിസ് 8 D സെൻറ്.ജോർജ്ജ് മൗണ്ട് ഹൈസ്ക്കൂൾ കൈപ്പട്ടൂർ കോന്നി ഉപജില്ല പത്തനംതിട്ട അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം പദ്ധതി, 2020 ലേഖനം
