Vaccines work to protect us against future infections by a bacteria or virus we may not have even encountered yet. In the space below, describe how a vaccine can protect against a future infection by a particular virus. In your answer explain what the vaccine is made of, the effects on any cells of the adaptive immune system involved, and explain how this can protect against a future infection by that virus.
