Vaccination as Primary Prevention
Qualtiy of a nation or welfare of a nation is related to its productivity. Health of society will impact the productivity. One of the indicators of society health is child death ratio. With the demographic transition that caused lower amount of child in family, then the productive ages population is increasing.
From the research, we can see that there is an inverese correlation between amount of livebirth and life expectancy, that the lower birth incidence the higher live expectancy of a nation.
Prevention of infection is important task in oder to create conducive situation for child growth and development. Besides that, prevention of infection far more effective and cheaper than treatment of infection.
Primary prevention of disease is all the efforts in order to prevent or avoid the disease before it occurs. Such as, exercise regularly, having a healthy diet, and having vaccination. Secondary prevention is early treatment of disease in order to prevent the complication of the disease. Tertiary prevention is aimed to minimize the complication and improving the quality of life.
Vaccination or immunization is the most precious technology that been developed in medicine field. Katz in 1999 said that vaccination is the best contribution by scientist for human life. Vaccine is the most effective and efficient health efforts compare to others.
With aggressive WHO program of immunization, child death is decreasing significantly, escpecially in disease that can be prevented by vaccination.
Immunity from infection is an aim of the immunization. Basically, immunity can be achieve passively and actively. Passive immunity can be achieve naturally, during intrauterine growth in third semester since there is transplacental transfer of immunoglobulin from maternal to fetal.
While active immunity can be achieved if someone get infection and achieve cure. This mechanism is adopted in vaccine induction of immunity.
Vaccination is giving vaccine (antigen) in order to stimulate immunity (antibody) from immune system. Antigen from pathogenic microorganism that have been modified, that doesn't cause the disease but its enough to stimulate our immune system in order to achieve immune response to specifiv infection.
Vaccination give several benefits:
a. Long life immunity
b. cost-effective
c. not harmful, serious adverse reaction is very rare, far more rare than the complication of the infection.
