IMMUNATION: Arming Science Clubbers With Healthful Defenses Towards National Awareness

      This year’s theme, “Immunation: Arming Science Clubbers with Healthful Defenses Towards National Wellness”, will help us to know more about how to fight and prevent diseases.

     In every disease that comes to our body, there’s always the so called immune against this disease. The word IMMUNE means having or producing antibodies or lymphocytes capable of reacting with a specific antigen. Immunization protects us from many harmful diseases that can have very serious complications or even cause death. It also helps reduce the spread of disease to others and prevent epidemics. But not every high mortality diseases have had their immunization. According to the internet, immunization is provided by a vaccine, a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. So, Science clubbers can be protected against these diseases by vaccines, which are injected or given by mouth. It is therefore essential that we know why, when, where and how many times we should be immunized. This past few days Ebola virus and MERS-CoV became a worldwide menace and concern to everyone. We, Science clubbers will be armed against these diseases through our knowledge on how these diseases will transfer to another person.

     Getting immunized is important for at least two reasons: to protect ourselves and to protect those around us. But without immunization, an average of three out of every hundred children born will die from measles. Another two will die from whooping cough. One more will die from tetanus. And out of every two hundred children, one will be disabled by polio.
