Vaccines, based on my own understanding, can be in two forms: they either weaken the germ or boost the immune system to fight against it and promote Safe and healthy living. I have little knowledge about vaccines because I am more of an Exercise person who believes in Fitness and a healthy lifestyle, so I often watch my health frequently.

In our present world today, new diseases are often discovered and they don't just cause ordinary illness but are capable of taking one life, discovering a permanent cure for this disease often takes time, but in an attempt to wait for the cure science tends to create an anti-fighter than helps to either boost the immune or reduce the disease activeness in the body, and this has really helped in fighting against so many diseases and also reduce the spread of this diseases.
The COVID-19 vaccine was my first ever vaccine. The pandemic was very serious; back then, people thought it was just ordinary malaria, but when they saw the sickness was persistent, they had to rush to the hospital to take care of themselves. Every illness has its own vaccine. At that time, after taking the vaccine, I fell ill at that moment, like my body was fighting against something, but I was able to overcome it successfully, and this vaccination has really helped a lot.
Personally, I believe the vaccine was majorly made to help the body defend itself against viruses and disease invaders. Vaccines do not only refer to the sick or ill; there is also a Vaccine against viruses like mumps, measles, pertussis and several others.

Anybody can use vaccines. Vaccines are also used for newborn babies to help boost their immune systems against all these viruses, diseases and infections, either from water or the air around them. It is important that vaccines really exist because they are favourable for both the young and old. I have once seen a baby who wasn't vaccinated how struggle against a bacterial illness because the family couldn't go to the hospital for treatment. This is why I respect my state's health bodies; they made Bacteria and other viruses. Vaccination is less expensive for kids, which has really saved a lot of kids against early death.
It is good to always stay vaccinated ahead of time in case we get in contact with any virus or disease. Many things around us can cause sickness, but staying vaccinated reduces the chances of getting this illness or sickness. I remember when there was an outbreak of Lassa fever virus in the northern part of Nigeria, which is caused by touching and eating Rats; the bacteria and virus in their body there was a massive intake of Vaccine people, and this helped reduce the spread of Lassa fever and it did help at that time.
Vaccination is really important even though some people feel it is less important against an illness because they have not fully been diagnosed with it or contacted with it; it helps to protect the body ahead of time before the contamination.
