I WONDER - How Can We Get Protection From Viruses?

Vaccines help the body recognize and fight viruses by introducing a harmless part of the virus, triggering an immune response. This prepares the body to combat the virus if encountered again. While not all viruses have vaccines, scientists are continually working to develop new ones for various viruses.

• The body will not recognize the virus

• The body will become immune to all viruses

Why are scientists continuously working on new vaccines?

• To make vaccines taste better

• To protect against different types of viruses

• To eliminate the need for vaccines

• To make vaccines more expensive
