Speaker: Coronavirus

Tell me a lot

About infectious diseases

And not only public health

It teaches me many new words.

I’m going to help you speak

Coronavirus.

I’m really learning

New language.



What is a vaccine?

And how does it work exactly?

Vaccines are unique in medicine

That they are designed to prevent

Instead of curing the illness.

Usually they are included

A small amount of illness

It was either killed

Or weakened to points

It can’t make you sick.

The idea is to inspire

Your immune system works

As it produces

Defensive antibody

Just like you do

I actually got sick.



We already have the vaccine

Protect us from over 20

A life-threatening illness.

who

Quotes they prevent

3 million people die annually

From illnesses such as influenza

Measles, tetanus.

Most vaccines are provided

By shot or injection

But some are sprayed

Enter through the nose

Or swallowed.



By the way, you may hear it

The term “vaccination”.

That means exactly the same

As a vaccination.

Some of the candidates

For COVID-19 vaccine

Uses new technology

I am using messenger RNA.

For mRNA vaccine

Synthetic version of RNA

Used by the virus to form

protein.

Not included in the vaccine

Sufficient genetic information

To produce viral proteins

Enough to deceive

Makes you think about the immune system

Because the virus is present

I take action

Those antibodies.
