Did You Know? - About Vaccines

A vaccine typically contains a small amount of an agent that resembles a microorganism.

The term vaccine came from Edward Jenner in 1796 from the term cow pox and adapted from the Latin vaccin-us, from vacca cow.

When two or more vaccines are mixed together in the same formulation, the two vaccines can interfere.

The polio vaccine was developed in the 1950s.

In recent years, a new type of vaccine called DNA vaccination, created from an infectious agent's DNA, has been developed. (DNA vaccination is still experimental.)

Rubella, polio, measles, mumps, chickenpox, and typhoid are nowhere near as common today as they were a hundred years ago.

The body's immune system recognizes vaccine agents as foreign and destroys them, but always "remembers" them.

Smallpox is one of the most contagious and deadly diseases known to man.

The most common infant vaccinations and boosters are for measles, tetanus, influenza, and pneumonia.
