Question
Chapter 26.4, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To summarize:
The role of vaccines in providing immunity against diseases.
Introduction:
Vaccines are the substances which are prepared biologically in order to provide an acquired immunity (active) against a particular disease. Vaccines are the pathogens itself or the products of the pathogens, which are treated in a way that they become no more virulent or unable to cause disease. Vaccines prevent many dangerous or even deadly diseases by providing immunity against these diseases. The risk of infection is greatly reduced by vaccines as they work with the body’s natural defenses to safely enlarge the immunity against any disease.
