What are immune responses?

Your body has immune responses, they’re like your body’s special team that fights off bad guys like germs and viruses.

Imagine you're playing with blocks, and suddenly a big, messy kid knocks them all over. That's like when something bad enters your body, like a germ. Your immune system is the helper who comes in to fix things.

Your immune team has different jobs:

• Some are like guards, they check who’s coming in.
• Others are like fighters, they attack the bad guys directly.
• And some are like healers, they help your body recover after a fight.

When you get sick, it's because your immune team is busy working hard to push out the germs. Sometimes you feel tired or have a fever, that’s just your body doing its best to win the battle!

So next time you're feeling under the weather, remember: your body has a whole team fighting to make you better again! Your body has immune responses, they’re like your body’s special team that fights off bad guys like germs and viruses.
