Explain how does vaccine work?

Open in App
Solution

Vaccines help a body's immune system prepare in advance to fight infectious illnesses and potentially deadly diseases caused by infectious agents or their by-products. Vaccines work on the principle of immunization. During vaccination, when the immune system first encounters an infectious microbe, it responds against it and then remembers it specifically. So the next time that particular microbe or its close relatives enter the body, the immune system responds with greater vigor. this eliminates the infection even more quickly than the first occurrence of the disease.
