Vaccination is the process by which weakened pathogen or parts of a pathogen are introduced into a healthy individual. This stimulates the production of antibodies. These antibodies protect the body from any infection by the same pathogen at a later time period. Inflammation is a reaction of the immune system to an injury or entry of pathogens.
