| A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. |
Yon vaksen se yon preparasyon byolojik ki bay iminite aktif akeri nan yon maladi patikilye. |
| A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins. |
Yon vaksen anjeneral gen yon ajan ki sanble ak yon mikwo-òganis ki lakòz maladi epi li souvan fèt ak fòm mikwòb ki febli oswa ki mouri, toksin li yo oswa youn nan pwoteyin sifas li yo. |
| The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and recognize and destroy any of these microorganisms that it later encounters. |
Ajan an stimul sistèm iminitè kò a pou rekonèt ajan an kòm yon menas, detwi l, epi rekonèt ak detwi nenpòt nan mikwo-òganis sa yo ke li rankontre pita. |
| Vaccines can be prophylactic (example: to prevent or ameliorate the effects of a future infection by a natural or "wild" pathogen), or therapeutic (e.g., vaccines against cancer are being investigated). |
Vaksen yo ka pwofilaktik (egzanp: pou anpeche oswa amelyore efè yon enfeksyon nan lavni pa yon patojèn natirèl oswa "sovaj") oswa ka geri (pa egzanp, vaksen kont kansè yo ap envestige). |
| The effectiveness of vaccination has been widely studied and verified; for example, the influenza vaccine, the HPV vaccine, and the chicken pox vaccine. |
Efikasite vaksinasyon an te lajman etidye ak verifye; pa egzanp, vaksen kont grip la, vaksen kont HPV ak vaksen poul la. |
| The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that licensed vaccines are currently available for twenty-five different preventable infections. |
Òganizasyon Mondyal Lasante (WHO) rapòte ke vaksen ki gen lisans yo disponib kounye a pou vennsenk diferan enfeksyon ki ka evite. |
| The administration of vaccines is called vaccination. |
Yo rele administrasyon vaksen yo vaksen. |
| Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases; widespread immunity due to vaccination is largely responsible for the worldwide eradication of smallpox and the restriction of diseases such as polio, measles, and tetanus from much of the world. |
Vaksen se metòd ki pi efikas pou anpeche maladi enfeksyon; iminite toupatou akòz vaksinasyon an se lajman ki responsab pou elimine variol atravè lemond ak restriksyon nan maladi tankou polyo, lawoujòl, ak tetanòs ki soti nan anpil nan mond lan. |
| Most vaccines are given by hypodermic injection as they are not absorbed reliably through the intestines. |
Pifò vaksen yo bay piki ipodèmik paske yo pa absòbe seryezman nan trip yo. |
| Live attenuated polio, some typhoid, and some cholera vaccines are given orally to produce immunity in the bowel. |
Polio atenye vivan, kèk tifoyid, ak kèk vaksen kolera yo bay oralman pou pwodui iminite nan entesten an. |
| While vaccination provides a lasting effect, it usually takes several weeks to develop, while passive immunity (the transfer of antibodies) has immediate effect. |
Pandan ke vaksinasyon bay yon efè ki dire lontan, anjeneral li pran plizyè semèn pou devlope, pandan y ap iminite pasif (transfè a nan antikò) gen efè imedya. |
