Chapter 1: Germs and Your Immune System

Meet Germs and Your Defenses

Your body is like a castle. Tiny invaders called germs try to get in.

Some germs are:

  • Viruses
  • Bacteria

Most are too small to see. Some make you sick with:

  • Coughs
  • Fevers
  • Tummy aches

Your immune system is your body’s army. It fights germs to keep you well.

Germs and Your Immune System

How Your Immune System Learns

When germs attack, your immune system:

1. Finds the germ

2. Fights it

3. Remembers it

Later, if the same germ comes back, your body can fight faster.

This memory is like keeping β€œwanted” posters of bad germs.

Vaccines use this memory power in a safe way.

Why We Want to Avoid Getting Sick

Some sickness is mild, like a runny nose.

Other sickness can be very serious, like lung infections or brain swelling.

Being sick can mean:

  • Missing school and friends
  • Needing medicine or a hospital
  • Passing germs to others

It’s better to stop bad sickness before it starts.

Vaccines help us do that.
