Pros And Cons Of Influenza Vaccine
Should people get Influenza Virus Vaccine?
Introduction
In winter, many people get caught by a flu. To prevent this, there is a flu vaccine, which has to be inoculated every year. There are many different opinions about this topic and this investigation will amplify some positive as well as negative effects of flu vaccine.
Biological Background
A flu (or biological name: influenza virus) is caused by the Influenza virus. There are three different types of this virus: Influenza-A-Virus, Influenza-B-Virus and Influenza-C-Virus but Influenza-C-Virus doesn’t affect humans, so it is unnecessary. If the viruses get through droplet or smear infections in our body and our immune system is too weak to cope, the symptoms a flu might cause are similar to a common cold but usually more extreme. Possible symptoms are fever, headache, malaise (a feeling of being ill and without energy that can be extreme), cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. Once you are sick, the body uses memory cells to remember the viruses. As a result, the body reacts faster with defencing the next time. In this …show more content…
There are many positive and negative aspects. The positive aspects will be discussed in the following paragraph. The most important positive aspect is obviously that the vaccine promises to protect you, or at least to decrease the possibility of getting sick from the flu. To substantiate the CDC accorded, in past flu seasons, the flu shot decreased objectively the chance of getting the disease to averagely approximately 74% which is quite a lot. In the case of becoming sick, the flu might also be milder if you got the vaccine before, because the body might have already produced some antibodies against the virus. Through immunising, you may protect people around you from getting sick as well, which can be very helpful, especially if you usually have older or quite young people and people with serious illnesses around
