Xinhua news agency, Beijing, April 24 (reporter Feng Yujing) - this year’s world immunization week is from April 24 to 30. The theme is “longevity for all”. It aims to make people all over the world realize that vaccines can help people “pursue dreams, protect loved ones, and live a long and healthy life”.

In the relevant materials of this year’s world immunization week, the World Health Organization said that since the first smallpox vaccine was developed in 1796, hundreds of vaccines have been developed, and the life expectancy of billions of people has been prolonged. Vaccination is recognized as one of the most successful and cost-effective health interventions.

Who data show that so far, vaccines can prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases and help people of all ages live longer and healthier. At present, vaccination can prevent millions of people from dying of diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles every year.

The WHO says vaccination is a simple, safe and effective method. Vaccines train the human immune system to produce antibodies, which can provide protection from harmful diseases before people are exposed to them. Vaccination uses the body’s natural defense mechanism to establish resistance to specific infections and enhance the human immune system.

After vaccination, the human immune system will respond and be able to recognize the invading virus or bacteria; Produce antibodies, that is, proteins naturally produced by the immune system to resist diseases; Memory related diseases and coping styles. If people are exposed to the same virus or bacteria in the future, the immune system will destroy it quickly before people get sick. The human immune system has memory function. Once vaccinated with one or more doses of vaccine, it will usually maintain its resistance to diseases for years, decades or even a lifetime.

But without vaccines, humans are at risk of serious illness and disability caused by diseases such as measles, meningitis and tetanus. Many of these diseases are life-threatening. WHO estimates that vaccination of children alone can save more than 4 million lives each year.

Currently, in the process of coping with COVID-19, vaccination of new crown vaccine has also been proved to be effective in preventing severe and death caused by COVID-19. Who stressed that only by ensuring fair and equitable access to vaccines, ensuring that every country has access to vaccines, and promoting vaccination from the most vulnerable groups, can people’s health be protected.
