Vaccines

 The main goal of vaccines is to weaken the virus in such a way that allows the immune system to respond without suffering from any symptoms of the virus.

 1. How are vaccines formed?  Step 1: An antigen is generated, which will make an immune response occur. An antigen is a substance that triggers production of antibodies by the immune system. This includes harvesting the virus.  Step 2: The antigen is separated from its growth medium.  Step 3: The antigen is purified.  Step 4: Strengthen with added materials that enhance immune responses  Step 5: Everything is mixed and distributed

 2. How do vaccines work?  A vaccine contains a weakened version of a pathogen, a disease-causing organism, or a germ which cannot make the person sick because it is not full strength. The body then reacts to the weakened virus by building antibodies, the body’s protection. Basically, the virus brings harmless germs into the body to build up antibodies for future germs of the same kind.
