Without much ado, a definition of
immunization is enough to bring home its importance in our environment or society. Immunization
is a scientific means of making people, particularly children resist deadly or killer-diseases. Scientists have succeeded in getting vaccines or chemical substances which can be injected into a person’s body to act as a protection against diseases.
From research it as come to my notices that some years ago a lot of infant who were not immunized died as a result of the attacks of measles, whooping cough and chicken pox in the continent of Africa. A good number of children who survived these disease, were those whose parent took the nice decision and pain to inoculate. Most parent who did all they could to thwart the altruistic efforts of the health officials, who pleaded with them to bring their children for inoculation lived to regret their actions. While children who were inoculated lived, their own children sided in their dozen.
Immunization saves all parent from losing their children prematurely to deadly but preventable diseases, so immunization has begun an era where parents can have children and boast about them with any fear of premature dead, their young one’s will grow up into useful and healthy adults. This make child bearing and rearing less cumbersome, if not totally without tears. The convenience which inoculation enables parents to enjoyed is almost incalculable. Immunization thwarts all diseases that can stunt the physical and mental growth of children.
Another significance of immunization is that it gives the society the assurances that its young one’s will grow up to replenish the labour force which old age and retirement of the adult persons deplete.
In conclusion, immunization programmes has tremendously saved us from huge sums of money being spent on herbalists sacrifices and fruitless hunting for so-called “Watches” that are allegedly to behind all infant death.Immunization is the only anti-dote for
childhood diseses.
