GCSE Biology - Vaccinations | How Vaccines Work

⭐️ https://www.cognito.org/ ⭐️

** WHAT'S COVERED **
1. How the immune system develops immunity after exposure to pathogens.
The concept that you often only catch certain diseases once (e.g., chickenpox).
2. The mechanism of vaccines.
Introduction of weakened or inactivated pathogens.
Stimulation of antibody production without causing the disease.
3. Examples of diseases controlled by vaccines.
Bacterial and viral diseases.
4. Pros of vaccination.
Individual protection from diseases.
Control of common diseases (e.g., polio, smallpox, measles, whooping cough).
Prevention of epidemics.
5. The concept of herd immunity.
How vaccinating a large proportion of a population protects unvaccinated individuals.
6. Cons of vaccination.
Vaccines don't always grant full immunity.
Potential for bad reactions (e.g., swelling, fever, seizures), though severe reactions are rare.
