What are vaccines

Vaccines are substances designed to stimulate the immune system and protect against specific diseases. They contain weakened or inactive parts of pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria, which are harmless but prompt the body to produce antibodies. These antibodies help the immune system learn to recognize and fight the disease if encountered in the future. Vaccines play a crucial role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases and protecting both individuals and communities by building immunity over time.

Why did I choose vaccines

I chose vaccines because I have a little cousin; she is 4 years old. My aunt did not give her any vaccines she should have gotten. Just a few days before I chose my topic, she got severely sick and had to go to the hospital. Her condition in the hospital was so unbearable to see. So as soon as my school gave me the opportunity to spread a word on something, I knew it was going to be this.
