The video aims to educate viewers, especially children, about why people get sick and how to prevent the spread of illnesses. It explains that bacteria and viruses are microorganisms that can cause diseases. Bacteria are like small vehicles that can reproduce on their own, while viruses are parasites that need other organisms to reproduce and live.
The video highlights that not all bacteria are bad, and some are even helpful. It also explains that our bodies have antibodies that fight against bad bacteria and viruses. However, some bacteria and viruses can hide from our immune system, and that's where medicine comes in.
The video emphasizes the importance of washing hands regularly and properly to prevent the spread of illnesses. It also explains that vaccines help our immune system by introducing weakened or killed bacteria or viruses, which allows our body to recognize and fight against them.
Finally, the video encourages viewers to take care of their bodies and to learn more about the immune system and how to stay healthy.

11. Our immune system has a memory that allows it to recognize and fight off specific bacteria and viruses that it has encountered before.
12. Vaccines are treatments that can prevent diseases by introducing a weakened or killed form of a bacterium or virus into our bodies, which allows our immune system to recognize and fight it off.
13. Vaccines can help our immune system build a list of dangerous microorganisms that it can recognize and fight off.
