Giant Microbes Flu Vaccine Original Plush Soft Toy Educational Gift 13cm

When you think of the diseases that have affected mankind the most, you’re likely to consider the great plagues such as the Black Death, or the ever present threat of conditions like Cancer… but there are few illnesses that have plagued humanity with as much consistency as the Flu. Reappearing year after year, most of us will suffer from the Flu many times, and have only minor effects. Yet every flu season claims thousands of lives, and in a particularly bad year, that number can rise to the tens of thousands. This Flu Vaccine Plush by Giant Microbes is a fitting reminder that the onslaught of this recurring malady could be far, far worse, were it not for the groundbreaking achievements of scientists around the world! Vaccines are often regarded as one of the most important scientific developments in human history, essentially allowing people to develop at least a partial immunity to a disease, without having to catch it. In terms of the flu, the difficulty is that the viruses involved evolve so quickly that new flu vaccines are required every year, to protect the elderly and the immunocompromised. Now, you can learn more about this landmark vaccine, in the comfort of your own home! These plushes have a scientifically accurate design, and even come with an array of facts about their specific cell, and are the perfect gift for scientists, teachers, students, or anyone with a healthy sense of humour!
