Question
Chapter 17, Problem 9QP
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reasons for which vaccines are used as a form of preventive medicine.
Introduction: The immune system of the body protects the body against harmful foreign particles. The B-cells are involved in the formation of two types of cells: plasma cells, which activate and proliferate antibodies and memory cells, which retain the memory of exposed antigens.

Students have asked these similar questions
Vaccines always include antigen and often an adjuvant. What is meant by antigen and adjuvant?
How do vaccines work in the body? How do they utilize adaptive immune response? Also, kindly give an example (i.e., COVID vaccines).
Describe IN DETAIL how vaccines work. Include a clear description of how the immune system works and how vaccines work WITH our natural immune function. How do they help protect us from dying from diseases? Use examples from the past (e.g. polio, smallpox, measles, rubella, etc.) to illustrate the effectiveness of vaccines.
