As a child all I was interested in was playing with the latest toys and being really mischievous, although those habits soon changed the first time I learned to learn about medicine. Around my 10th birthday, I went to get an injection at a local clinic in my hometown. I was so afraid of needles and deeply hated doctors at the time because of it. When the doctor was about to give him the injection he said: “Look the other way, it will hurt less”. In that act of kindness I knew that the doctor cared about his patients and that they don't inject a drug just for fun, but they do it to help you. After giving the injection I asked the doctor what that syringe contained. He went on to tell me that there was a vaccine in the shot: “Vaccines contain a tiny amount of the disease or germ so your body can kill it. This way your body will know what to fight if it ever enters your body in the future. Also, a fun fact: Vaccine actually means cowpox. Although it wasn't the first time I'd given myself a shot, a visit to the doctor made me want to have a future in that kind of career. From that point on, I was so eager to learn about medicine and what it would be like to create a vaccine on my own so I could help people too. A vaccine is a product used to significantly create antibodies, which also provide immunity against one or more diseases. The disease agent is used to make the vaccine, or it can be a synthetic substitute, that is, a fake copy that closely resembles the disease. It acts like disease without inducing disease. Diseases have always plagued the world. The first working vaccine was created to fight a plague known as smallpox. Already in 572 AD there was...... half of the document ......obczyk E., and D. Weaver. “From the refrigerator to the arm: problems in administering vaccines.” Vaccine 32 (2014): 2389-393. Print.This journal is more about vaccines in general, the reason I chose the pages I did is because they related to the eradication of smallpox and the percentage of people who don't get sick after taking the vaccine. I consider it a reliable book because it is published and in the library catalog. Bonnem, Shirley. "History of Smallpox." History of Vaccines RSS. The College of Physicians ofPhiladelphia, nd Web. April 20, 2014This book is specifically based on smallpox and covers a wide range of information about smallpox, I focused primarily on the first few pages because it discussed the inoculation process. This book seems like a credible source because it was reported to me by a librarian and it is a book published in Great Britain.
