Here how it works: Adaptive immunity involves two classes of lymphocyte: B cells and T cells which work together in a coordinated system of adaptive immunity B cells-antibody-mediated (humoral) immunity T cells-cell-mediated (cellular) immunity Adaptive immunity occurs in a series of stages 1. Recognition of antigen (flu virus) 2. Activation of lymphocytes 3. Effector phase (immune attack) 4. Decline of antigen causes lymphocyte death (homeostatic balance) 5. Memory cells remain for later response if needed

Are vaccines associated with innate or adaptive immunity?

Adaptive immunity. Innate immunity provides a very basic general response against pathogens. It responds in the same manner. Adaptive immunity will provide a very specific response as well as retain memory of how to respond next time it encounters the same pathogen. That is the foundation for vaccinations. You introduce to your body in a safe way (destroyed virus) a pathogen that your body can kill so that upon secondary exposure it is well equipped to defend against it.
