Vaccines protect us
from various diseases.

2With vaccines our body becomes immune.
Our body can defend itself against bacteria or virus
that will be transmitted from the environment.

When we get a vaccine,
we put in our body weakened bacteria and viruses
that can not harm us.

In this way, our body makes antibodies.
Antibodies live in our body for many years and protect us.

because they help a person
fight a disease and not get seriously ill.

without having to get sick.
