I want to volunteer in a charity organization abroad soon, and I heard that currently there’s and outbreak of hepatitis in the town I intend to go to. Is there anything I can do to prevent me from getting hepatitis? Is there a way to get a vaccination against it? A. before you would like to go on with any vaccination, you should check out this very long list of links: http://www.aegis.ch/neu/links.html at the bottom you will also find links in english. vaccinations in general are very disputable/dubious and it is probably time that we learn about it. Q. Why does the body attack itself in autoimmune diseases? And if it’s possible - How come it doesn’t happen most of the time? A. Wow, good question…I got Lupus which is an autoimmune disease. And when I checked about it I discovered that apparently you are born with a perfect immune system. There are billions of white cells that can detect any foreign or self antigens. But then they are “educated” in the thymus and all those that recognize self die. But sometimes a cell that recognize similar self antigens stay, and no one knows why, they can just attack one day for no apparent reason. I hope I helped.

The '0-5 Program', a public health program that includes weighing, measuring, assessing and immunising children in that age group, has been a cornerstone of community health and primary health care nursing since maternal and child health nurses were referred to as infant welfare nurses. We are pleased to be working with IDV to develop an effective TB vaccine and we believe that the approach of using extracellular proteins as the immunising agent offers the best opportunity for developing a safe and effective subunit vaccine against tuberculosis. |
