Differentiate between vaccine and vaccination.

Open in App
Solution

The vaccine is a biological preparation in which weak and heat-killed forms of pathogens are used to provide active immunity (stimulate the production of antibodies in the body). These vaccines facilitate long-term protection against disease (antibodies produced in response to the weak pathogens, remain in the body for a long time).
Vaccination is the process of getting a vaccine.
