In todays blog entry, we will discover how the body and the vaccines work together to provide immunity!
Vaccines help your immune system to fight off otherwise deadly viruses. When someone is injected with the Polio vaccine for example, they are literally injected with a small amount of the Polio virus. This small amount is safe for the body to fight and develop immunity against, while not making you sick. Once you body learns how to fight the small version of the disease, it will find it much easier if introduced in the future. Sometimes however the immune system will need to refresh its memory, which is why we must have booster shots.

3.) Toxoid Vaccines such as Tetanus, which are formed from toxins or poisons that have been created by the germs, and are harmless.
4.) Component Vaccines such as Hepatitis A & B vaccines, which contain just as the name suggest parts of the virus.
Please see the video below, it will explain the process in which Vaccines are constructed.
