Explain how vaccines work
What will be an ideal response?
Vaccines consist of killed or weakened versions of pathogens or an antigen that is similar to but less dangerous than the disease antigen. Vaccination causes the body's immune system to produce antibodies against the pathogen without actually causing the disease. If the actual pathogen should invade the body at a later time, immune memory cells will recognize the pathogen and produce antibodies specific to it. These will quickly quell the infection.
