Pros and cons of immunisation Immunisation
o It is one of the most effective, ways to prevent disease. o It teaches your body to fight the diseases naturally. o You will be immune to a disease, at least for a period of time, if not forever. o It is an easy and safe way of protecting yourself from diseases. o Because so many people are getting immunised, some diseases are becoming rare, and disappearing. • There are side effects: redness, soreness at the place of the injection and a mild fever. || • People worry too much about protecting themselves and their children from diseases. • There are a lot of different immunisations; most little children and babies have to suffer through, sometimes even as soon as they’re born. • If the immunisation goes wrong, or too much of the disease is put into your body, you might get the disease, and it is possibly fatal. ||

What if a Pandemic hit us today? Would we be prepared?

The Ministry of Health are trying to figure out ways to be prepared for an Influenza Epidemic. If a Pandemic does break out, they have a document called the Epidemic Preparedness Act 2006, which states what will be done. Meanwhile, World Health Organisation (WHO) is ensuring that developing countries have pandemic influenza vaccines. It seems as if people aren’t too worried about other pandemics breaking out, that their main concern is an influenza epidemic, because they are worried that it is possible that there is a new type of influenza.
