21st+Century+Vaccines

= = = Modern Immunizations = ====Today, vaccines are still recognized in importance to life just as they were hundreds of years ago. Dr. Walter Orenstein states that life "is a miracle caused by a very modern vaccine" (//"[|Vaccine Nearly Ends Illness"]//). The basic immunization that they deliver today is the exact same concept that Edward Jenner had when he was defying smallpox. Now a days, vaccines are distributed regularly by the shot or the nasal spray. Both of these techniques are slightly different as one is a living virus and one is a dead virus. Although research says both are effective, the nasal mist, or alive virus, is supposed to protect against more symptoms for the different diseases.====

====Stacey and Allison discuss how "the results of vaccination programs are very obvious and easily seen," ("//Your Baby's Best Shot//") in examples such as the smallpox virus. Vaccines completely conquered what they were supposed to do and thats what is being worked on and being studied to improve in today's society as well. As humans, we strive to solve bigger and better problems and the problem of cancer will be the next big study in immunizations.====
