The Vaccination injects what we think of as a dead disease into you. You white blood cells then produce antibodies that can kill/get rid of the disease. So now if you ever catch the disease you have been vaccinated against your body already has the correct type of antibodies to fight it off -- So without even knowing it the disease will hit yu and be gone as quick as you can say toast!

How does a vaccination protect a person from infectious diseases?

The vaccination process is intended to boost the immune system against infectious diseases and similar problems by introducing a small quantity of the disease to the immune system, so it knows what to look for and how to fight it. However, vaccination does not make you immune, so always exercise as much caution as possible in a situation in which you might be at risk of contracting an infectious disease.


What are the chances of getting that disease after getting the vaccination?

Possibly, but not as bad as if you were not vaccinated. Vaccination is an injection of the disease you wish not to catch. This is done so your body will develop the needed, reactive antibodies to the disease in question. The injected form of the disease has been modified so that it is not as powerful and won't do as much damage as the one you are preventing, but reactions in people differ and reactions to this inoculations will include the symptoms of the disease. The chances of a reaction depend on the person who is injected. When you get a cold does it hit you hard and you are down for awhile? That might be an indication of how your internal protection system works and you should prepare yourself for experiencing the symptoms of the vaccine.
