In the past they have helped save millions of lives around the world. Diseases are often caused by bacteria or viruses that attack the human body. A vaccine
37、 is a dead or very weak form of such a virus. When you get a vaccination from your doctor the body it gets used to these weaker viruses and can produce antibodies which stay active for a long time. When the real virus or bacteria attack, the body becomes immune and can defend itself. People can get
38、their vaccinations in many forms. Very often the vaccine is injected into your body, but vaccines are also taken by mouth or are breathed in. Although many vaccines protect you throughout your life, some provide immunity 7 for only a certain time. Vaccines against the flu must be administered every
39、year, because the flu virus can change or may appear in a different form. Most people already have a certain amount of immunity in their bodies. It is passed to them from their mother.

The first vaccines were created towards the end of the 18th century. An English scientist, Edward Jenner, carried out experiments with cowpox, a milder f
42、orm of smallpox. He found out that people who got cowpox rarely got ill from smallpox. In France, Louis Pasteur developed a weak form of rabies to protect people from dog bites. In the 20th century polio has been wiped out completely. Today there are vaccines for many illnesses. The most common are
43、the flu, cholera, the plague , hepatitis. Although vaccination is widely available and a part of the regular health program in almost all industrial countries, there are still countries, especially in the Third World where people die of serious diseases.
