What Vaccines can help protect against viruses by triggering the production of?
Vaccines that help protect against viruses do so by triggering the production of antibodies, which are proteins that recognize and neutralize pathogens. Examples include the mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, which instruct cells to produce a harmless piece of the virus, prompting an immune response. Other vaccines, such as those for influenza and hepatitis B, also stimulate the immune system to generate lasting protection against specific viral infections. This process enhances the body's ability to respond to future exposures to the actual virus.
Do you need shots for sixth grade?

What combination vaccines contains antigens to protect against hepatitis A and hepatitis B?

Are vaccines only used for viruses?
I'm not an expert, but from what I can gather, vaccinations are used for both virus' and pathogenic bacteria (harmful bacteria). Vaccines contain a section/segment of the virus or bacteria (for example a flagella) to infect the body. The body then produces memory cells so that the body has an immunity against the virus or bacteria (note that this immunity may not last a lifetime).
How many types of HPV does the vaccine protect against?

Vaccines are typically made from a dead or inert version of the virus it is intended to protect against. Usually vaccines are incubated in an egg based fluid.
