Hepatitis A • Hepatitis A is caused by the “Hepatitis A Virus”; this is also part of the RNA virus. HEP A is found in the liver and is something that can last for a few days or several months at a time. It could take about 2-6 weeks after the infection has entered your body in order for you to start showing symptoms if this. This is something that is mainly found in places were clean water is scarce and that the environment is not so safe. Usually it is contracted in the early childhood stages

It is perceived to be a social standard in society to uphold high beliefs in vaccinations.

For example, English physician Edward Jenner pioneered the smallpox vaccine, which opened the doors for more ventures into the world of vaccinations. Due to the advancement in technology of the 21st century, we are able to address more diseases and create

Introduction to Vaccinations History of Vaccinations Laying the foundation for modern vaccinology in 1796, Edward Jenner observed a milkmaid with the cowpox infection appeared to be immune to the outbreak of smallpox. By inoculating an eight year old boy with the pus from an infected milkmaid, and exposing smallpox material to the boy weeks later, Jenner demonstrated smallpox immunization; as the boy never fell ill (Stern, 2005). “That the cow-pox protects the human constitution from the infection

cytotoxic T-cells so that when it would come into contact with a live form of the virus, the body would already have immunity to it (Gilbert, 2012). The problem with this assumption is that for it to work the virus must maintain the same shape and the HIV virus changes shape. During clinical trials, the researchers tested the vaccine on humans who had high rates of preexisting immunity to adenovirus 5 (Aderem, 2011). These test subjects should have been even more likely to experience successful results
