How does a vaccine work in your body?
Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a pathogen (called antigens). This exposure mimics an infection, prompting your immune system to respond. When the vaccine is administered, your body recognizes the antigens as foreign invaders. This triggers an immune response, leading to the production of antibodies. After the initial response, your immune system creates memory cells that "remember" the specific antigens
