Vaccines: Overview

Vaccines help to prevent the occurrence of certain illnesses by triggering the body's immune system to develop defenses against infection. The vaccines themselves contain deactivated or partial components of the infectious bacteria or virus. The bacteria or virus in the vaccine is not capable of infecting the recipient, yet it will trigger the body to build defenses to prevent infection when exposed to the actual virus or bacteria. There are approximately 25 diseases that have vaccines available for prevention.
