VACCENT

Admist all the radical changes in the world history, the panacea for diseases evolves endlessly. Had it not been for the unstoppable efforts of scientists to cleanse all ailments, we wouldn’t have held onto the torch of human existence. The invention of vaccines carries weight.

Paying tribute to that, Heal Health inaugurates VACCENT, a series including various vaccines, a substance stimulate immunity to fight against infectious disease or pathogen.

Bacille Calmette Guerin

About a quarter of the global population is estimated to have been infected with Tuberculosis (TB) bacteria. Due to the astounding prowess and brains of Dr Albert Calmette and Dr Camille Guerin, a large decline in infection happens drastically by injecting the anti-tuberculosis vaccine from a germ called Mycobacterium bovis, which is similar to TB.

Ending the TB epidemic by 2030 is among the health targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Hence, beside vaccination, prevention methods like avoiding contact with other people and wearing a mask, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, and disposing of sputum and used tissues properly should be vehemently applied.

Meningococcal

The meningococcal vaccine helps prevent diseases caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis. There are different strains, or serogroups, of meningococcal bacteria. Meningococcal vaccines are available to protect against the common disease-causing strains such as serogroups A, B, C, W and Y. Currently, there are two types of meningococcal vaccine that are popular today, the meningococcal conjugate vaccine and the meningococcal serogroup B vaccine. Newborns from 12 months and adults and adolescents between 14 and 19 years of age are suitable for vaccination.
