उत्तर
The principle of vaccination is based on the property of 'memory' of the immune system. In vaccination, a preparation of antigenic proteins of the pathogen or attenuated (inactivated/weakened) pathogen is introduced in the body. The antibodies produced in the body against these pathogens will neutralize the pathogenic agents during actual infection. The vaccine also generates memory B-cells and T-cells that recognize the pathogen quickly on subsequent exposure. For example, vaccination against polio prevents the actual pathogen from resulting in infection.
