Vaccine Explainer for Kids ★★★【廣播音檔】★★★
I don't like getting a shot. The needle always hurts a little … it's not
super painful … but it's not fun.
But...I know, sometimes getting a shot is good for me. Soon, there will be a
shot for COVID-19. It's called a "vaccine."
打疫苗很重要，因為會保護我們預防傳染病。
A vaccine is pretty cool.
Doctors take a very, very little part of a bad disease like COVID-19 ...and
they put it into your body.
Then...if the real COVID-19 gets into your body...your body can fight it!
COVID-19疫苗包含很少量的病毒，注入人體後會產生抵抗力。
Your body has a little army inside you ... fighting for you.
After you get a vaccine...the army knows what to do.
They see it and say, "Hey! That's COVID-19!! It's time to attack...Ready?
3...2...1...fire!!!"
A long time ago, people would get really, really sick from many things … and
sometimes even die!
But today, after you get a vaccine, your body knows how to kill the disease,
and you won't even get sick!
You are protected!
很多病菌都可以讓人類生病，甚至死掉。但是打了疫苗之後，我們的身體就有保護自己的能力。
A vaccine is like a seat belt...it protects you in case something bad
happens. I'm going to get it as soon as I can!
