Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The purpose of vaccinations is to trigger the body to create antibodies for a specific pathogen. This provides immunity to that pathogen, making it less likely for the individual to become infected or experience severe symptoms if they do become infected. Vaccinations do not inject T or B cells directly into the body, nor do they trigger an innate response for all pathogens. Additionally, vaccines are not intended to make people sicker than the pathogen would.
