Detailed explanation-1: -Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body. Newer vaccines contain the blueprint for producing antigens rather than the antigen itself.
Detailed explanation-2: -An example of recommended COVID-19 vaccination for someone over 12 with a weak immune system is: 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine, 3 weeks apart, as your first round of COVID-19 vaccination. an additional dose at least 4 months after this. a booster dose at least 4 months after your additional dose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vaccines give you immunity to a disease without you getting sick first. They are made using killed or weakened versions of the disease-causing germ or parts of the germ (called antigens). For some vaccines, genetic engineering is used to make the antigens used in the vaccine.
Detailed explanation-4: -This protection is called community immunity, or herd immunity.
Detailed explanation-5: -Vaccines are injections (shots), liquids, pills, or nasal sprays that you take to teach your body’s immune system to recognize and defend against harmful germs.
