What is the process by which vaccines protect individuals against infectious diseases?
Vaccines are small quantities of dead or inactive forms of a pathogen (disease). Vaccines stimulate white blood cells to produce antibodies. These antibodies destroy the pathogensthis makes the person immune to future infections by the pathogen. This is because the body is now able to respond rapidly by making the correct antibody, similarly to if the person had already had the disease.
