VACCINE

Your body and blood offer natural defences against disease. However, sometimes more is needed for adequate protection. Vaccines can give protection or immunity against some diseases. Vaccines offer artificial immunity against disease. They can either be injected or taken by mouth. Taking a vaccine is referred to as immunisation.Vaccines are made from pathogens and also contain the antigens, which trigger our immune responses. The pathogens are either dead or have been deactivated so that they cannot cause disease. Vaccines can give protection or immunity against some diseases. Vaccines offer artificial immunity Pathogens. Once you have been vaccinated your body begins to make antibodies. You usually cannot catch a disease once you have been vaccinated against it. This is because you are immune to it. Each antibody is effective only against one type of microbe. For example, a vaccine against whooping cough will not protect you against catching measles. This is why there are different vaccines for different diseases. Some pathogens, for example the flu virus, are constantly changing which makes it difficult to produce an effective vaccine. Once you have been vaccinated your body begins to make antibodies. Immune antibody pathogen. Vaccine against whooping Cough Whooping Cough Vaccine against measles, Measles Will not protect against Measles.
