Summary Introduction

The vaccine contains an antigen or an attenuated pathogen, which is harmless to the human body. Vaccination is the process of introducing weakened or killed microbes of a particular disease, or toxins in order to stimulate the adaptive immune system for initiating an immune response. This stimulation also results into the synthesis of memory cells for future encounters. Revaccination is the periodic administration of a particular vaccine.
