A vaccine normally exposes the body's immune system to dead portions of the virus it is trying to protect against. The immune system will still react to the dead virus and develop anti-bodies to protect against the virus. This will either prevent the person from becoming infected or reduce the length and the severity of the symptoms if they do become infected.

How does a vaccine prevent a viral disease when injected into the body?
the vaccine has a little bit of the disease in it so your body gets an atibody for the disease so when the disease trys to attack you body you have an immune system to it
How do vaccins work?
Vaccines help a body's immune system prepare in advance to fight infectious illnesses and potentially deadly diseases caused by infectious agents or their by-products. Essentially, vaccines give the body a preview of a bacterium, virus, or toxin allowing it to learn in advance how to defend itself against that potential invader. If the body is ever infected by that particular pathogen after the vaccine has done its work, the body's immune system is ready to protect us because it has created "memory cells" when exposed to the vaccine. These cells can tell your immune system exactly what antibodies it needs to make for that particular pathogen and can get to work before the infection gets out of control.
Why is the response of the immune system to a vaccine specific?
Because the immune system attack the dead virus so the next time the virus come into the body thebimmune systek reconize it and attack the virus
Why is it good to use a vaccine to stimulate the immune system for homeostatis?
A vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies against a specific disease causing pathogen. This makes the body able to fight off that disease.
How vaccine is different from medicine?
Vaccine is a minidisease of which you want your body to be immune against. When you take the vaccine, your body destroys the virus and "remembers" it. You will then be able to get rid of the disease instantly.
How does vaccine relate to the virus that it protect against?
A vaccine is essentially a weakened or dead version of the virus. This essentially "infects" you with the virus and causes the body's immune system to respond and create anti-bodies that will kill the real virus if it does ever get into your system.
What does the immune system do for the body?
the immune system protects the body from invading pathogyns
What body systems protects the body against foreign substances?
The name of the system is lymphatic system.
What is the body's defense system?
It would be their immune system.
A vaccine produces its effects by?
A vaccine works by causing the body's immune system to create antibodies against itself. Ideally, the body has such a strong response to the vaccine that it creates memory B cells, which can turn themselves on if the animal is ever exposed to the disease and create a large number of antibodies very quickly.
What does a vaccine contain that allows the body to do this?
The theory behind the vaccine is that it is made up of weakened viruses but that form antibodies, which in turn build up the immune system that will fight the introduction of any pathogen the vaccine is intended to prevent.
Which system is to prevent foreign substances from entering the body to attack foreign substances that are in the body?
The Immune System is the defense network of the body. The immune system works with specific receptors on specialized cells - detecting foreign bodies and signaling for the immune system to destroy them.
