What do vaccines do and when must they be used?

Vaccines give you immunity to a disease without you getting sick first. They are made using killed or weakened versions of the disease-causing germ or parts of the germ (called antigens). For some vaccines, genetic engineering is used to make the antigens used in the vaccine.

For what purpose vaccines are used?

Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defenses to build protection. When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds. It: Recognizes the invading germ, such as the virus or bacteria.

How does vaccine work in our body?

Vaccines help the immune system counter infections faster and in a more effective manner. When you are vaccinated, it sparks the immune response, thus helping the body to fight off and remember the virus so that it can attack it in the event of a future invasion.

Which vaccines can not be given together?

Can I get vaccinated twice?

Using two different vaccines is a bit like giving the immune system two pictures of the virus, maybe one face-on and one in profile. “If you give two different types of vaccine, then you tend to get a better immune response than if you give the same vaccine twice,” Fletcher says.
