How does memory cell keep a person from getting sick?

Memory cells are a type of immune cell that "remember" an encounter with a specific pathogen. When the same pathogen is encountered again, memory cells mount a faster and more robust immune response, helping to quickly eliminate the pathogen before it can cause a full-blown illness. This quicker and more effective response is what helps prevent a person from getting sick upon subsequent encounters with the same pathogen.
