Therapeutic vaccines are vaccines that are administered after a disease or infection has already occurred. The vaccines protect from disease by inducing an immune system response against the disease-causing agent. These vaccines help to restore the health of individuals who have been diseased.
Therapeutic vaccines can prevent infection by stimulating the immune system to fight disease-causing organisms. When individuals have been infected with a disease-causing bacteria, their immune system may have developed antibodies that attack the foreign organism. By stimulating the immune system, these vaccines protect individuals from developing illness or disease caused by this alien organism.
Therapeutic vaccines have been used for decades to treat common illnesses and animals. Some of these common illnesses and animals include HPV (Human Papillomavirus), Measles, Chickenpox (Varicella), Diphtheria, Flu (Influenza), Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis B. Efforts are being made to develop vaccines against various fatal diseases such as HIV, cancer, dengue fever, and cholera.
Therapeutic vaccines prevent diseases by providing a form of resistance against the disease. It improves health by helping to restore balance in the immune system. It also prevents dehydration and malnutrition that occur with a weakened immune system. Many people remain skeptical about vaccination. Often they are afraid of causing an illness or even death. However, statistics show that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.
Currently, various governments and pharmaceutical companies are focused on offering equitable access to safe and effective vaccines for ending the COVID-19 pandemic.
