He pointed out that care must be taken to take all the necessary vaccinations for Hajj a period before going for Hajj to ensure that the vaccine begins to work in the body and acquire the necessary immunity.
“Gandeh” continued: Vaccination is a simple, safe and effective way to protect members of societies from diseases before exposure to them, as vaccination uses the body’s natural defense means to build the ability to resist specific diseases, in addition to strengthening the immune system, and the majority of vaccines are given by injection, while others are given of them orally.
“Gandeh” concluded by saying: Vaccines reduce the risk of contracting the disease by relying on the body’s natural defense means to build the ability to protect it. When an individual receives vaccination, for example, against Corona, thistle, or seasonal flu, there is a response from the immune system, as it identifies the germ. Invading, such as a virus or bacteria, and produces antibodies, which are proteins produced naturally by the immune system to fight the disease, and also remembers the disease and how to fight it, so if the individual is exposed to a germ in the future, the immune system can quickly destroy it before the person feels ill. A safe way to boost your body''s immune response, without causing disease.
