Suara.com – Antibody serves as a fortress immune. Antibodies appear when viruses or bacteria that enter the body have been recognized by vaccine, which was previously inserted into the body of the person concerned.
“By being given the vaccine, the body has the memory ability to remember when exposed to a real virus. Antibodies appear because the body fights against viruses or bacteria, “explained Dr. Dirga Sakti Rambe, in a productive dialogue with the theme” Vaccines as Health Preventive Planning “, which was held at the Media Center Committee for Covid-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN), Jakarta, Monday (23/11/2020).
Dirga, who is also a vaccinologist, explained the difference between vaccines, vaccinations and immunizations. According to him, vaccines are substances that when injected or dropped into the body, will stimulate the growth of immunity against a specific disease.
“Vaccination is an effort to provide vaccines or vaccination activities, while immunization is a process of creating immunity. One of them is by giving the vaccine, so that someone can avoid a disease that can be prevented, “he explained.

This internal medicine specialist added, vaccines contain components containing viral or bacterial components, and not all vaccines contain weakened viruses. Most vaccines contain only a viral component, so when the vaccine is given to the body, it cannot cause disease.
Dirga emphasized that the news stating the vaccine contains poison is wrong. According to him, vaccines in circulation must obtain approval from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM).
“The vaccine manufacturing process also goes through a very long stage, including the Covid-19 vaccine. Research and clinical trials are conducted to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Therefore, if there is a vaccine that has obtained a license to be used, it is certain that it is safe and effective, “he concluded.
