Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Health experts are continuously campaigning for vaccination or immunization to the wider community. The reason is, immunization is still the most effective way to prevent the spread of infectious and dangerous diseases that have a negative impact on public health.
Pediatrician, dr. Endah Citraresmi, Sp.A (K) from the Parents Care Foundation said, in principle, vaccination will make a person immune so that he does not need to go through a sick phase when he is attacked by certain viruses or bacteria.
“This is certainly different from the body’s natural immunity that appears after someone is attacked by a disease. In these conditions, there needs to be a sick phase first until finally healed and immune,” he said in a Productive Dialogue held by the Committee for Handling Covid-19 and National Economic Recovery (KPCPEN). , Sunday (29/11/2020).
Furthermore, Endah appealed to the public not to easily believe in false information about vaccines and immunizations. The safety of the vaccines that have been circulated has been confirmed. Because the vaccine production process has gone through the stages according to safety procedures, starting from pre-clinical trials in animals, followed by three stages of clinical trials in humans, until finally obtaining permission for use from the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM).
When vaccines are circulating in the community, he continued, BPOM and the National Commission for Post-Immunization Events (Komnas KIPI) will continue to monitor the vaccine.
Endah emphasized that in essence no government is willing to sacrifice its citizens. All countries, both developed and developing countries, make vaccines. Actually, the state has guaranteed the safety of vaccines. Even the state continues to actively monitor the safety of vaccines to protect its citizens.
“This vaccine is very important, not only for children but also for adults and the elderly. With vaccines, we keep us healthy and productive, and for our children, vaccines are useful for better growth and development, “Endah concluded.
