A flu vaccine works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight off the influenza virus. When a person is vaccinated, their immune system is trained to recognize the virus and respond quickly if they are exposed to it in the future, helping to prevent infection or reduce the severity of symptoms.

How does the measles vaccine work to protect against the measles virus?
The measles vaccine works by introducing a weakened or inactive form of the measles virus into the body. This triggers the immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight off the virus if the person is exposed to it in the future. This helps to prevent the person from getting sick with measles.
Can you give hepatitis b vaccine to someone with hepatitis B?
Yes, the hepatitis B vaccine can be given to someone with hepatitis B. It is still recommended in order to prevent reinfection with other strains of the virus and to protect against potential complications of chronic hepatitis B.
Is there a vaccine for The Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus?
No, there is currently no vaccine for the Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus. This virus infects bacteria, not humans, so it is not a target for vaccine development.
What class does Influenza A belong to?

Explain how an active vaccine works to protect the human body?
A vaccine works by producing antibodies to immunize the body against the virus that vaccine is intended to protect against.
Do vaccines prevent mumps and influenza?
Yes, vaccines are effective in preventing both mumps and influenza. The MMR vaccine protects against mumps, measles, and rubella, while the seasonal influenza vaccine is designed to protect against the most common strains of the flu virus each year. Vaccination significantly reduces the incidence of these diseases and helps prevent outbreaks, contributing to overall public health.

What antigens will be in the 2010-2011 seasonal flu vaccine?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: The flu vaccine protects against the three main flu strains that research indicates will cause the most illness during the flu season. This year's influenza vaccine contains three new influenza virus strains. They are: * A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus (the same strain as was used for 2009 H1N1 monovalent vaccines); * A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus; * B/Brisbane 60/2008-like antigens. The 2010-11 influenza vaccine can protect you from getting sick from these three viruses, or it can make your illness milder if you get a related but different influenza virus strain. The strain of H1N1 influenza included in the 2010-2011 seasonal flu vaccine in the US is the same that caused the H1N1 Pandemic "Swine" Flu in 2009. A separate vaccination for that will not be required this year.

How does vaccine relate to the virus that it protect against?

You are not immune to Influenza. Even getting the yearly flu vaccine is no guarantee that a person won't get the flu. You can get the flu but it won't be as bad as it could be if you hadn't received the flu vaccine.
How does a vaccine prepare the immune system of the body?
A vaccine normally exposes the body's immune system to dead portions of the virus it is trying to protect against. The immune system will still react to the dead virus and develop anti-bodies to protect against the virus. This will either prevent the person from becoming infected or reduce the length and the severity of the symptoms if they do become infected.
