Jessica buys a new puppy named Waffles! The puppy is unvaccinated. She wants to take it to a dog park - why is this a bad idea? 

(Explain using the words pathogen, immunity and antibodies)

Jessica should not take Waffles to the dog park, because it would be exposed to new pathogens that the dog does not have antibodies for. Once the dog is vaccinated, the dog can build up its immune system.
