How are immunity and vaccination related?

In: Conditions and Diseases [Edit categories]

Answer:

Vaccination is designed to give you immunity to a particular disease. A dead or weakened culture of a disease is introduced into the body, not enough to harm but enough for the body to prepare its defence and create an immunity. Should the body then be exposed to the disease later it will have its defence ready.
