Question

How do vaccines work?

Answer 1

Vaccines contain dead or weakened microbial strains of a particular disease. When a vaccine is introduced into a healthy body. It produces specific cells against the pathogen.

These cells are called antibodies and they become active when the pathogen attacks our body. The body fights and kills them by producing a specific set of reactions.

These antibodies remain in the body for life long and protect against the microbe when microbe enters the body again.

Vaccines can be given either orally (in the form of drops) or injected into the body.
