Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material (a vaccine) externally to stimulate an individual's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen. Vaccines can prevent infectious disease.

When a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, herd immunity results. Some of the examples of vaccines are vaccinia (smallpox), measles, mumps and rubella (MMR combined vaccine), varicella (chickenpox), influenza (nasal spray), rotavirus and zoster (shingles).
