How do vaccines work?
Vaccines teach your body how to fight off illnesses. They do that by
putting a tiny piece of the germ that causes the illness you need
protection from inside your body, so your body can learn what it
needs to do to fight it off. This way if you ever come into contact
with the illness your body knows exactly what to do, which stops you
from getting sick.
Why Are Vaccines So
Important?
When you get a vaccine, you
help keep other people healthy,
too. There are some people who
can't get vaccines or can't get
vaccines yet . The way that many
vaccines work is that you won't
get sick from the germ you've
been vaccinated for. Therefore,
you won't be spreading germs around to other people who haven't
gotten vaccines. And that means people who are not vaccinated won't
get the germs from you and they won't get sick.
