Whenever your body fights an infection, your immune system provides an influx of white blood cells that consist of macrophages, B-lymphocytes, and T-lymphocytes. Macrophages consume and digest germs and leave behind antigens. In response, B-lymphocytes start producing antibodies to attack the antigens left behind by the macrophages. Finally, T-lymphocytes attack cells that have been infected by a particular bacteria, fungus, or virus. Moreover, your immune system retains some of the T-lymphocytes, which keep a memory of the infection or germ so that your body can quickly neutralize it if the germ enters your body again.

Immunizations work to stimulate the same immune response without causing illness. In order to do so, a live or inactivated portion of the bacteria or virus is included in the immunization so that your immune system can develop the antibodies and T-lymphocytes needed to quickly neutralize the virus and record a memory of it so your immune system can quickly kill the virus or bacteria should you ever become infected with it in the future. It is extremely rare for a vaccine to cause an illness, but it is typically mild if it does.

If you require immunizations for yourself for your child, we welcome you to come to Immediate Care of Oklahoma! We happily accept walk-in appointments at all of our clinics, including our clinic in Edmond, OK, which you can find at 805 W Covell Road.
