Entry 6

More blogging, oh the joy! I’ve actually had a look at some of my friends’ blogs and have noticed that in most cases they haven’t made as many blog entries as I have. Am I doing too much? Are they doing too little? Or am I just rambling on and spamming my page with drawing progress? I vote the third option.

This blog is great though, I enjoy writing it much more than a handwritten diary and I procrastinate a lot less! I think it’s because handwriting irritates me and leaves me with a hand cramp, or perhaps because I am a total nerd (lol internetz!). Oh well, the point still stands, being able to blog for this project is awesome. 

I’ve just noticed a neat little feature on this blog too, you can synchronize your blog with your del.icio.us account! Maybe I’m just a little slow and have found this feature after a lot of others, but I really like it! I definitely think it’s a good thing to include in a progress blog.

So where was I? Oh yes, I need to put in a bit more research! The finishing touches! Well here goes:

More Vaccination Pros and Cons

Pros: 

• In the event a disease is caught after you have been vaccinated against it, it can help reduce the severity of symptoms. 

Cons: 

• If a child gets vaccinated too early, their immune system may not be developed enough for them to handle the vaccine and this could lead to them becoming sick.

Other Vaccination Facts

• A vaccination does not guarantee immunity from a disease, but rather prevent it by making your body used to producing the necessary antibodies if the disease in contracted so it will respond more quickly and effectively.  
• If you don’t vaccinate your child, they are at a greater risk if exposed to certain diseases.
• Things similar to and based on the same theory as vaccnations have been dated back to B.C. times.
• One of the first official vaccines (the smallpox vaccine) was developed by Edward Jenner.

 

See you all later!
