1. A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. It stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them. If you are given a mission of creating a vaccine, for what viral disease will it be? Why? 2. What can you do, as a student, in preventing the spread of Covid-19?
