RE: The History Of Vaccines Series

in #health7 years ago

The human pox virus is related to other pox viruses that infect animals but there are not the same. There are two types of human smallpox, one is less virulent than the other. Variola major, the human form of smallpox was the most common and also the most deadly.

Sort:  

hmmm that's why in our country when new baby is born there is a course of nine injections which we must have to complete and the smallpox Vaccine is one of them.

Yes and newborn babies have natural immunities from their mother and also incomplete immune systems. There are concerns that injecting newborns damages the immune systems of a percentage of children, especially boys.
