Memory cells:

Memory cells help us mount quicker responses to antigens we have previously encountered.

Revised:

When you body first encounters a virus, the immune system does not know the type of white blood cell that can destroy the virus. Thus, giving the virus enough time to take over. When you get a vaccine, it is basically a virus that is too weak to do any harm. Which means, a vaccine puts a type of virus dummy in your body. This way, your body can take time to train against this new type of virus, so when the real thing comes, you body remembers how to be immune to it.

Note: Vaccines do not get you sick. You may feel sick a little bit, but that is your body reacting, as it does not know this dummy virus does no harm.

Can vaccines be used to change future DNA?

Vaccines do not change future DNA. Traditional vaccines work by introducing an antigen to stimulate the immune system without altering the genetic material of the recipient. Some newer technologies, like mRNA vaccines, provide instructions for cells to produce a harmless piece of a virus, but they do not integrate into or modify the recipient's DNA. Overall, vaccines are designed to enhance immunity rather than to alter genetic information.

What are vacc ines for?

Vaccines are biological preparations designed to provide immunity against specific infectious diseases. They work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria, without causing the disease itself. By introducing weakened or inactive components of the pathogen, vaccines prepare the body to respond more effectively if exposed to the actual disease in the future. This helps prevent illness, reduces transmission, and contributes to public health by promoting herd immunity.
