The Vaccine exposes the immune system to small doses of a disease so the immune system can recognize it and fight it off when its exposed to the real disease

The definition of an immune system disease is a disease that causes over- or underactivity of the immune system. When the immune system is overactive, this is called an autoimmune disease.
Cystic fibrosis is a chronic genetic disease. It is not an autoimmune disease. However, recent research indicates that an overactive immune response contributes to inflammation and damage in the lungs.
No, it is a response of the immune system.
The Immune System
self-substances In an autoimmune disease, the immune system becomes overactive and directs itself toward the body's own tissues and systems. Instead of attacking a specific disease, or foreign invader to the body, the immune system attacks the body that it should be protecting.
All vaccinations work on the same principle. By injecting into the body a material which is chemically similar to a given disease organism (such as the tuberculosis baccilus) the immune system is activated, and will prepare an immune response to that disease before the actual disease organism ever enters the body. Therefore there is a faster and more effective immune response if the disease is ever actually encountered.
There are many different diseases which result from problems with the immune system; broadly speaking, there are two types, which involve either an excessive immune response, causing an autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis, or an insufficient immune response, causing a disease such as AIDS. There are also many different reasons why the immune system may not work correctly. However, the greatest single threat to the functioning of the immune system is the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV.
Experts are not sure, and studies and research are ongoing. Several theories exist but unfortunately, none of these theories has yet been scientifically proven. Most experts agree that the immune system of people with Crohn's disease reacts abnormally - it treats good bacteria, foods, and other substances that are good for us as foreign and unwanted substances. In other words, the patients own immune system attacks. This leaves us with the question, does Crohn's disease cause an abnormal immune system response, or does an abnormal immune system response cause Crohn's disease
