Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The vaccine is an inactivated/attenuated form of a deadly pathogen or antigen that used to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against that pathogen so that immune system can fight with that pathogen if it gets attacked by the same pathogen in the future. Recombinant DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) technology can now be used to create vaccines.
