• Although statement 1 and 2 are true, statement 3 is not correct because the vaccine can cause side effects such as decreased appetite, fever, irritability, and reactions at the injection site, as well as allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing, hoarseness, fast heartbeat, and dizz

• This vaccine can be administered up to 12 months old, but it is most effective when given as soon as possible.

• It is best to give a baby the BCG vaccine as soon as they are born to help protect them from tuberculosis. Although the vaccine can be given up to 12 months old, it works best when given right away.

• Tetanus is an infection triggered by the bacteria Clostridium tetani. When these bacteria enter the body through a cut or wound, they make a poison that makes the muscles really stiff and painful.
• This mainly happens in the neck and stomach. It is sometimes referred to as ‘lock jaw’ because it can make it hard to open your mouth or swallow.

• Plague is a sickness caused by a type of bacteria called Yersinia pestis.
• It is usually spread to people from wild rodents by fleas.
• If someone is bitten by an infected flea, they will likely get bubonic plague, which causes a bump at the bite site. If the bacteria get into the lungs, the person will have pneumonic plague.
• With bubonic plague, antibiotics can help, but if someone gets pneumonic plague, they can die within a day.

• Tooth decay is when the teeth start to break down, usually because of bacteria in the mouth mixing with sugary food. You need four things for this to happen: teeth, bacteria that causes cavities, sugary food, and time.

• Some sulfa drugs are also used to treat diabetes.
