Summary Introduction

Introduction: Vaccination is a method of injecting an inactivated bacterial toxin, killed or weakened pathogen. This induces a primary immune response and immunological memory. This method increases the “number of lymphocytes with receptors that can bind to the pathogen”. Hence, the defense mechanism reacts strongly and rapidly during the subsequent invasion of the “pathogen”.
