Solution
Vaccines:
Vaccination is the procedure of giving a vaccine to protect the immune system.
Vaccines' primary function is to give protection against bacteria, and virus-causing diseases.
The Smallpox vaccine was the first to be discovered.
Role of the vaccine in the body:
Vaccines contain weakened components of the antigen.
It triggers the immune response of the body.
The vaccine produces replicas of antigens to stimulate immunity against a particular disease.
Some vaccines require many doses.
This is done to develop memory cells and produce long-lasting antibodies.
The body is taught to fight a specific infection by vaccination.
The memory cell would build up in the blood and combat the antigen in the future.
