Question

While going abroad, why is it essential to get vaccinated against certain diseases?

Answer 1

Vaccination: A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. The process of administrating vaccines into the body is called vaccination.

Importance of vaccination:

1. A person could be a disease carrier. Such a person could bring the sickness to a foreign country. As a result, all visitors to a foreign nation get immunised against diseases that are not common in that country.
2. It also serves as a safeguard against infections that are frequent in foreign countries. As a result, both the traveler and the host country are free of disease.
