IMMUNISE Meaning and
Definition
-
Immunise is a verb often used in the field of medicine and healthcare to describe the act of administering a substance, usually a vaccine, in order to stimulate an immune response and provide resistance to a particular disease. The process of immunisation typically involves introducing a small, modified, or inactive form of the disease-causing agent into the body, resulting in the production of antibodies that will recognize and attack the actual disease-causing organism if encountered in the future.
This proactive approach to safeguarding against infectious diseases is crucial in preventing epidemics and maintaining public health. Immunisation is typically performed through injections or oral administration, ensuring the medication reaches the body's immune system to trigger a response. It can also occur naturally through exposure to a disease, causing the body to create its own immunity.
The goal of immunisation is to provide protection to individuals by effectively creating an immune response without the individual experiencing the symptoms or severe consequences of the actual disease. It allows the body to develop long-lasting immunity and is considered one of the most successful and cost-effective strategies in preventing communicable diseases.
Immunisation has been instrumental in eradicating or drastically reducing the prevalence of many diseases worldwide, such as polio, smallpox, measles, and rubella. It plays a crucial role in public health initiatives and is recommended by health authorities to ensure not only personal protection but also collective immunity within communities, reducing the risk of outbreaks.

Etymology of IMMUNISE
The word "immunise" is derived from the Latin word "immunis", which means "exempt" or "free". This Latin word is a combination of two parts: "in", which means "not", and "munis", which means "obliged" or "bound". Therefore, "immunis" signifies being exempt or free from an obligation or duty. From this Latin root, the term "immunise" was formed, specifically referring to the process of making an individual immune or protected against a disease.
