What is a vaccine?
As far as i remember, at school we wuz taught- vaccines could only be made for bacterial illnesses by having a dead or sleepy sample injected so the immune system could dismantle/study it and know how to prepare for in case of infection. Nowadays, these are made for viruses, but don't work in the same principle - they inject something that forxes the body to make a specific something that might work against the virus.
So is it truly a vaccine? If it's not, then why is it called that?
Or is it? Does it still work in the same principle?
Could YOU, Dear Kiwi, explain it?
