1. Vaccination Vaccination is the second most effective
Public Health intervention after Clean Water
AND
Saves lives
Help eliminate infectious diseases- small pox ,almost polio

2. Immunity Innate Defence Acquired Defence First line of Defence
Physical barriers
skin and mucous membranes
Physiological factors
pH, temperature and oxygen
tension limit microbial growth
Second Line of Defence
Protein secretions
lysozyme, complemen interferons and others
Third Line of Defence
Phagocytic cells
macrophages and neutrophils
Vaccination
live and inactivated
Immunoglobulin's
This is how firstly our body protects us again infection and secondly how we can gain protection

3. How can we win against infection?
Having a healthy lifestyle helps protect us against infection
But sometimes we need a little help and this is where vaccination can help

4. Vaccinations
Help eliminate and reduce incidence of some infectious diseases
Reduce mortality and morbidity
Reduces demand on NHS services
Reduces suffering

5. Impact of Vaccination
Immunisation has made a very dramatic effect on reducing the numbers of cases of infectious diseases

6. Vaccination An inactivated, dead, vaccine cannot transmit disease
Adult Flu
There is a theoretical, small, risk that a live vaccine could transmit disease. However the infection will always be mild
MMR
Many vaccines need a number of doses and boosting to remain effective
Whooping cough
Vaccines remain effective for varying periods of time
Diphtheria
This is how vaccinations work

7. What do children need to know ?
Bugs are not all bad
We need some to keep us healthy
and
We need some to teach our bodies how to protect us
In the UK, we can get protected against a lot of bugs that cause infection, free from our family doctor
Vaccinations help us fight disease and stay healthy
However these bugs can change from time to time and we may need to have a number of vaccinations -
this is the case with Seasonal Flu

10. Edward Jenner Born May 1749 in Berkeley
In 1764 left to undertake apprenticeship as a doctor
In 1772,returned to Berkeley to work as a doctor
In 1796, he carried out his famous experiment
one eight-year-old James Phipps.
He submitted a paper to the Royal Society in 1797 describing his
experiment, but was told more proof was required
In 1798, the results were finally published and Jenner coined the word vaccine from the Latin 'vacca' for cow.
Jenner was widely ridiculed
The obvious advantages of vaccination and the protection it provided soon became evident
Jenner continued researching and advising on developments in vaccine.
Jenner died on 26 January 1823.
it was generally accepted that milkmaid who suffered cowpox never contracted smallpox
Undaunted, Jenner experimented on several other children, including his own 11-month-old s
repulsive and ungodly to inoculate someone with material from a diseased animal
Jenner carried out research in a number of other areas of medicine and was also keen on fossil collecting and horticulture.
