Summary Introduction
To describe:
The advice given to a person, who is refusing to get flu vaccine because she did not get vaccinated last year and did not fall ill.
Introduction:
The vaccine is referred to a biological preparation, which is given to a person, in order to achieve an acquired immunity against the disease. A preventative vaccine is a type of vaccine, which is given to a person when the person is unaffected by the pathogen. In preventative vaccination, an inactivated part of the pathogen is inserted into the body. The body recognizes the foreign body (inactivated pathogen) and manufactures antibodies against it.
