Overview
Vaccines are preparations of weakened or killed pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria, which stimulate the body's natural defenses against the target pathogen. Vaccines help to prepare the immune system to recognize and resist infections more effectively when exposed to the real pathogen. Vaccination has been successful in reducing the incidence of many infectious diseases, and is particularly important in protecting vulnerable groups, including young children and people with weakened immune systems.
