The goal of the influenza vaccination is to reduce the cases of influenza and its complications among people over 65 years old. This study reviews past literature to determine the effects of the influenza vaccine in the elderly. The findings suggest that virus-matching vaccines are effective at ...
" says Dr. Schaffner. "If scientists can make a killed vaccine that is effective, that is what they will do. It's all about trial and error." Most viral diseases, he says, require live-attenuated vaccines, but the vast majority of bacterial illnesses are prevented with inactivated vaccines...
The vaccines are made from bacteria(细菌) that causes the illness. A little bit of bacteri a isn't enough to make you sick. But it is enough to make your immune system(免疫系统) active.Some vaccines are effective for life, while others wear off(逐渐消失) after a few months or years....
How effective has vaccination been?Vaccination:Vaccination is a necessary medical procedure that can help prevent people from contracting diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, influenza (flu), pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus (lockjaw), polio, diphtheria, yellow fever and more.

How are vaccines approved? Before a vaccine can be used on the general population, it must first be carefully tested and vetted in an approval process intended to ensure that it is both safe and effective. Here in the United States, this process begins with what's called "preclinical researc...
