We learned about what Covid – 19 is and how the vaccine works.
Our bodies know how to fight of germs from the cold or flu, because it has seen that virus before and remembers them. When a new virus arrives (Covid 19), it does not know what to do and we can become very ill. The virus is surrounded by a “shell” (protein). The vaccine is not the virus, but the “shell” (protein). It will then be able to recognise it if it meets it again and fight it off.
We made our “virus” using pipe cleaners, pom poms and googly eyes.
