An Antigen.
Identify what substance is in a flu vaccine that stimulates immunity?
The substance in a flu vaccine that stimulates immunity is typically inactivated or attenuated influenza viruses, or specific viral proteins called antigens. These antigens trigger an immune response, prompting the body to produce antibodies against the influenza virus. This prepares the immune system to recognize and combat the virus if exposed in the future. Some vaccines may also include adjuvants, which enhance the immune response.
