Vaccines Are Only Made To Avoid Outbreaks of Dangerous Diseases

Merdeka.com – A pediatrician from the Care Parents Foundation, Windhi Kresnawati, revealed that not all diseases are made into vaccines. According to him, only diseases in the dangerous category are sought vaccines.

This is because the process of making vaccines, starting from researching until finally being produced, is expensive and long. In other words, Windhi ensured that all vaccines that were already circulating in the community, mass produced and injected into the community, had gone through a careful research stage and implemented strict safety standards.

An overview of the process, he said, for example, before human tests were carried out, vaccine candidates were tested on inanimate objects in laboratories and animals.

“Will there be any danger if the vaccine comes out? If you look at the process of its formation, safety is a mandatory requirement for vaccines. KIPI (Post-Immunization Follow-up) is not necessarily related to vaccines. If he is heavy then the vaccine will not be launched. Because it means he (the vaccine) is not. effective, “Windhi said in a webinar on Fact Check About Vaccine Myths held by the Committee for Handling Covid-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN), Monday (12/10).

He said, after the vaccine is circulated, it is not immediately released. Stay closely monitored. For example, age restrictions.

“Any age can be immunized. For example, like Pertussis Diphtheria, age 6 weeks. After the answer after the research came out. Is it safe, if it is launched, it is guaranteed because safety is examined in the lab,” he said.

He added, so it’s not surprising that only dangerous diseases have just been vaccinated. The goal is to really be effective in building immunity.

“Vaccination is carried out to generate immunity against deadly diseases,” said Windhi.

Individual immunity is important because it can promote herd immunity. When herd immunity is formed, dangerous diseases are automatically repelled. The more individuals who are immune, the herd immunity will be formed. [gil]
