A vaccine effectively helps your resistance system break the regulations of a certain illness. A vaccine is generally made of the same cells that might make you sick, but they are weak or stationary. Occasionally a vaccine is made of cells that are very close, but not accurately the same, to the cells that would make you ill.
When a vaccine goes through the body, the resistant system responds the similar way it would to any germ. The vaccine is easier to battle than the illness you’re being vaccinated against, and it won’t make you ill while your immune system battles it. One time the immune system figures out how to battle and overcome the antigens, it remembers what mechanism against them. Must such an enemy come into your body again, your body will move to attack it before it has a possibility to execute its plans to make you ill. Occasionally, your immune system wants a refresher course, which is why you get booster doses of a few vaccines. Some antigens are particularly tricky, and vary over time, similar to flu viruses.
