Immunization In The Medical View - Immunization is an investment for the future health of
disease prevention through immunization is the most effective means of
protection against infectious diseases and is much cheaper than treating
someone if they have fallen ill and had to be hospitalized.
With immunization, children will be protected from dangerous
infectious diseases so that they have a chance activity, play, learn
undisturbed health problems. However, to date there are still problems in
immunization, among others, understanding parents who are still lacking in some
communities about the benefits of immunization, false myths about immunization,
until late immunization schedule.
Health is everyone's
dream
Is the desire of all parents to have healthy children, no
pain, and no defects, and have optimal growth and development. Paradigm healthy
children include physical, cognitive and healthy social-emotional-moral.
Physically, it means optimal growth and physical development,
as indicated by changes in height, weight, head circumference, maturation
function of organs in accordance with age. Healthy cognitive, meaning that the
child has the ability to recognize, understand, remember, compare, match,
merge, stringing, express, generate ideas, knowledge, and new skills. Healthy
emotional-social-moral, meaning children happy, courageous, optimistic,
confident, able to explore the environment, can control themselves, adapt to
the environment, and understand the good and bad, right and wrong, should not
to be.
A healthy child is the desire of every human being. The
question arises, why kids get sick? Sick child because immunity (immunity) is a
natural body is not enough to protect the body. When the cause of the pain cannot
be tolerated by the body, then the child will be sick. Causes of pain include:
infection, congenital abnormalities, metabolic disorders, malnutrition,
injuries, accidents, poisoning, immunological diseases, and degenerative.
Conversely, a person will become resistant (immune) against
a disease due to the immune system. Immunity is divided into two, namely
natural immunity and acquired immunity. Natural immunity is active and the
passive. Active natural immunity is the body's reaction to an infection, such
as when someone is suffering from chickenpox, the body will be formed in the
immune system that keeps the recurrence of chickenpox infection. Naturally
acquired passive immunity from mother to child through the placenta. Here the
mother's immune system "transmitted" to the fetus through the
placenta.
Acquired immunity means that the body's immunity from
external stimulation of the body. The body's immune system is supplied from the
outside. Supply here could be the immune cells that are already finished
(injection of antibody, called acquired passive immunity) or immune stimulating
the patient's body (vaccination, will form a so-called self-defense called
antibodies. These antibodies will cripple similar bacteria that will cause
disease. Antibodies will remember how to fight bacteria as bacteria that have
been paralyzed. The bacteria will live long in the body, so that when the bad
bacteria to someday enter the body, the antibodies will know how to handle it. As
such, children can avoid the disease.
Benefits for families
Immunization is also beneficial to have a family. With
proper immunization, can help eliminate the anxiety of parents of the risk of
illness to be suffered by his son. It also saves the cost of treatment when
sick children.
Benefits to the community
The benefits of immunization are not limited to individuals,
but also for the community in general. If the immunization coverage is quite
extensive, can increase community immunity can prevent infection and illness
specific communities. In addition, the state is also beneficial for improving
health, creating a strong nation and sensible to continue the development of
the country. Wide and Administration immunization There are two kinds, namely
passive immunization which is inherited from the mother's immunity to disease
and active immunization in which immunity should be obtained from the
administration of weak germs are easily defeated by the immune system to
produce antibodies against the usual same disease both weak or strong. As for
the manner of administration, immunization can be done in several ways. There
are given by injection into muscle, skin or subcutaneous layer, and there is
given through the mouth to the liquid droplets.
Technique or method of immunization is generally done with a
debilitating virus or a bacterium that causes the disease is given to a person
by means of injecting or drink / swallows. Once the germs get into our bodies,
the body will be stimulated to fight the disease by forming antibodies.
Antibodies were generally able to continue to exist in the body of people who
have been immunized against the disease that tried to attack.
Do Immunization Safe?
Often arise doubts in the community, whether immunization is
safe for children? Keep in mind, none of the medical treatment that is 100%
safe. All actions are at risk. But with the proper administration procedures
and performed by a person skilled and competent in their fields, immunization
is safe to do.

articles will be discussed in more detail about immunization from various
aspects. Hope it is useful,
