Vaccines put either a dead or weak version of the disease into your body. Your bodies immune system will then attack the cells and form antibodies. The antibodies are then permanently in your system and if you get the disease again it will be able to fight it fact since it already has the cells in your body to fight it. When someones body is fighting a disease their immune system is already working at fighting what is in their body. Adding a vaccine could make them even sicker.
