vaccines contain either live or killed antigen .live vaccines contain attenuated (weakened)viruses which do not have the ability to cause disease.when the vaccine is injected the body produces anti-bodies against it .next time when the virus enters by that time the body has enough anti-bodies to fight the disease causing virus successfully.

How does the immune system respond to a pathogen that the person has vaccinated against?

When a vaccinated person encounters a pathogen they've been vaccinated against, their immune system recognizes it as a familiar threat due to the memory cells developed during vaccination. This triggers a rapid and targeted immune response, leading to the destruction of the pathogen before it can cause serious illness. This process helps the person stay healthy and recover faster.


Why are babies vaccinated?

Babies are vaccinated to protect against common diseases until their immune systems are developed.


What is immune response?

An immune response is part of the body's defense against pathogens in which cells of the immune system react to each kind of pathogen with a defense targeted specifically toward that pathogen.


What is an example of acquired immunity?

An example of acquired immunity is the immune response generated after receiving a vaccine. When a person is vaccinated, their immune system is exposed to a harmless form of the pathogen, allowing it to produce specific antibodies and memory cells. This prepares the body to recognize and respond more effectively to the actual pathogen in the future, providing long-term protection against diseases such as measles or influenza.


Does use of a vaccine to stimulate the immune system to act against a pathogen?

Yes.


How many times will a person get the actual disease if vaccinated?

Ideally a person would never contract a disease that he/she has been vaccinated against. The foundation of vaccination is the idea that you expose a person's immune system to the pathogen that causes a disease so that the immune system will recognize it and kill it off quickly if the person is ever exposed again. In reality, some vaccinations just don't work - there are always a few people that don't respond to the vaccine, or that respond weakly and don't have enough memory cells to fight off the pathogen.


Why is a vaccination long term ability of the body to resist disease?

Vaccination stimulates the immune system to recognize and respond to specific pathogens by introducing a harmless component of the pathogen, such as a protein or inactivated virus. This exposure helps the body produce memory cells that "remember" the pathogen, allowing for a faster and more effective immune response upon future encounters. As a result, vaccinated individuals have a long-term ability to resist disease, as their immune system is primed to act quickly and effectively against infections that the vaccine protects against.


When the human body mobilizes its defenses against a pathogen the body recognizes the pathogens?

When the human body mobilizes its defenses against a pathogen, it recognizes the pathogen by identifying specific molecules on its surface called antigens. The immune system then mounts a response by producing antibodies that target and neutralize the pathogen, as well as activating immune cells to attack and destroy the pathogen. This orchestrated immune response is crucial for fighting off infections and maintaining health.


What is the relationship between immunity and vaccination?

You get immunity by having a vaccination or by having the infection itself. The vaccination is the introduction of the pathogen in tiny amounts to kick start your immune system so it knows how to deal with the real thing if you encounter the germ in the environment. A vaccine is the medicine made to introduce the pathogen (infection-causing "bug") into your body in a vaccination. Having immunity is how your body prevents a second infection by the same germ. The first time you catch the germ (or get a vaccination for it), your body responds to cause immunity, so if you run across the same exact germ again later, your body already knows how to prevent an infection again. See the related questions below for more about vaccines and vaccinations.


The process of vaccination?

Vaccination is the process of attempting to confer artificial immunity on an individual organism by exposing the immune system to antigens of the pathogen being vaccinated against. Vaccination does not provide nearly as good protection as natural, or acquired immunity.


True or false Vaccination triggers an immune response against the pathogen by simulating an infection?

True


How does active immunity occurs?

Active immunity occurs when the immune system is exposed to a pathogen and responds by producing specific antibodies against it. This can happen naturally, through infection, or artificially, through vaccination. In both cases, the body "remembers" the pathogen, allowing for a quicker and more effective response if re-exposed in the future. This process helps provide long-term protection against diseases.
