Hey there! Did you know that December 15 is World Strengthened Immunity Day? 🎉 It’s a special day when people around the world learn about how vaccines help us stay healthy and protect us from diseases.
What Is Immunity? 🤔
Immunity is like a superpower inside our bodies! 🦸♂️ It helps us fight off germs and stay well. Our immune system remembers the bad guys (like viruses and bacteria) and knows how to stop them.
Vaccines are like training programs for our immune system. They teach our bodies how to fight certain diseases without us getting sick first. Cool, right? 😎
China’s Superhero Efforts 🥇
Since 1978, China started a big immunization program to protect people from diseases like polio, diphtheria, and hepatitis B. Guess what? They’ve prevented over 300 million cases of these diseases! That’s like helping the entire population of several countries combined! 🌟
China was one of the first countries to include the hepatitis B vaccine in their national childhood immunization program back in 2002. Now, over 90% of newborn babies in China get this vaccine. 🍼 This means more babies grow up healthy and strong.
Beating Diseases Together 🤝
Thanks to vaccines, many diseases have almost disappeared in China. For example, diphtheria hasn’t been seen there for nearly 20 years! 🎉 That’s a huge win for everyone’s health.
China also helps other countries by sharing vaccines. They’ve gone from needing vaccines to donating them. Talk about a team player! 🌐
Strong Rules for Safety 📜
In 2019, China made the Vaccine Administration Law. This law helps make sure vaccines are safe and that people who need them can get them. With good rules, vaccines can keep doing their job to protect us all. 💪
Why Vaccines Matter 💉
Vaccines are one of the best ways to stop diseases from spreading. Over the past 50 years, they’ve saved more than 154 million lives worldwide! That’s like saving almost half the population of the United States! 😲
How You Can Be a Health Hero 🦸♀️
You can learn about vaccines and how they help people. Share what you learn with friends and family. The more we know, the healthier we can be! 📚
Remember, getting vaccinated doesn’t just protect you—it helps protect everyone around you. You’re like a shield for your community! 🛡️
So let’s give a big thumbs up 👍 to all the countries, like China, working hard to keep the world healthy!
