The memory you are referring to is the "memory" of the immunesystem. Commonly vaccines are injection of antigenes that belong to various dangerous viral/bacterial and/or parasitic infections.
When the antigenes are injected into the body it causes an immune response, various cells related to the immune system (lymphocytes) will attack the antigenes, and antibodies holding that specific antigene will be formed.
This memory can last more or less a lifetime, and when the organism that owns that antigene the immunesystem will recognize it and the organism will be helpless against the immuneresponse and antibodies that are in store for it.
It should also be noted that many parasites have the ability to "coat" themselves, and thus they do not have any specific antigenes, resulting in dangerous parasitic infections that the immunesystem can not fight. (Like for example malaria.)
What else can I help you with?
Use memory and cognition in a sentence?
Memory and cognition are closely related processes in the brain, with memory referring to the retention and retrieval of information while cognition involves the broader mental processes of perception, thinking, and problem-solving.
Jerking movements in the eyes related to memory?
Involuntary jerking movements in the eyes, known as nystagmus, can be related to a variety of neurological conditions that affect memory, such as multiple sclerosis or certain types of brain injuries. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
What is a chunk in short term memory?
A chunk in short-term memory is a grouping or unit of information that helps to organize and store data more effectively. By grouping related items together, chunks can increase the capacity of short-term memory by allowing for the retrieval of multiple pieces of information as a single unit. Chunking is a common technique used to improve memory and encoding processes.
Are people scared of vaccines?
Some people may have concerns or fear about vaccines due to misinformation or misconceptions. It's important to educate and provide accurate information to address these fears and encourage vaccination to help protect individual and community health.
How can priming questions be used to enhance memory recall during cognitive tasks?
Priming questions can be used to enhance memory recall during cognitive tasks by activating related information in the brain, making it easier to retrieve relevant memories. This can help individuals remember information more quickly and accurately, improving their performance on tasks that require memory recall.
What do vaccines produce?
Immunity via the production of long lived memory lymphocyte cells in the immune system.
What do you do about side effects from the swine flu vaccines?
Report them to your doctor. Your doctor is working with those who monitor the side effects of vaccines and will report your symptoms to them to add to the study if it is something connected with the vaccination. See the related questions and related links below.
The memory for events and facts related to oneself?
Autobiographical memory
Does pneumonia vaccine contain mercury?
Most pneumonia vaccines, including the pneumococcal vaccines, do not contain mercury. Some vaccines historically contained thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, but many vaccines have been reformulated to eliminate this ingredient. Current formulations of pneumonia vaccines are considered safe and do not pose mercury-related risks. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific vaccine ingredient information.
What antivirus is in the swine flu vaccine?
The vaccines are different than anti virus medicines, so there is no anti virus medicine contained in the vaccines. See below for related questions for more detail.
Do vaccines interfere with they immune system?
No, vaccines do not interfere with the immune system. In fact, they work by stimulating the immune system to produce an immune response and develop a memory of the pathogen, so that it can quickly recognize and fight off the actual infection in the future. Vaccines help strengthen and train the immune system to better protect against specific diseases.
Can antigenic proteins from certain pathogen be used for vaccines?
Yes, antigenic proteins from specific pathogens can be used to develop vaccines. These proteins can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells that can recognize and protect against future encounters with the pathogen, thereby providing immunity.
What is SIGBUS?
SIGBUS is an event that occurs when a program or application tries to do something with memory it doesn't own or memory that is readonly. It is a "bus error", related to bad memory handling. See the related link for detailed information.
What are edible vaccines?
Edible vaccines are vaccines produced in plants genetically modified through bioengineering.
What is a vaccine that contains live weakened pathogens?
They are called live attenuated vaccines. Attenuated means weakened. The nasal mist flu vaccine is an example of a live attenuated vaccine. The vaccines for flu that are injected are made from pieces of viruses or "dead" viruses. See the related question below for more information on these two types of vaccines.
Do vaccines cause AIDS?
Vaccines do not cause AIDS.
Why do you need vaccines?
We need vaccines to protect us from infectious diseases and to trigger the immune system to respond with production of antibodies made for that specific pathogen. See the related questions for more details of how this works.
