It forces your body to recognise a specific antigen, either by injecting a weakened version of it or pieces of it. Specialised cells then recognise and trigger an immunological response for that specific anitigen. T cells "remember" so if you're ever infected an immunological response is much more effective.

∙ 14y agoA vaccine will either be in the form of a weakened pathogen (virus or bacteria) or one which has been killed. This is injected into the body, and the immune system will react and eradicate it from the body. It will then be able to 'remember' this virus and if the virus is caught again the immune system will kill it before it has time to harm the body at all. This is why once you have had a full vaccine course you cannot ever be affected by that disease again. This is what we call immunity.
