What is a vaccine?
A
a girl’s name.
B
something that helps the body fight viruses.
C
a purple fruit from France.
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine: These vaccines produce protein to trigger an immune response in our body. These vaccines do not contain live viruses, so the chances of falling ill after vaccination are zero. The mRNA vaccine field is still in the nascent stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -A vaccine is defined as any substance which is used to stimulate the production of antibodies, in turn providing immunity against one or a few diseases. A vaccine is defined as a biological preparation formulated to provide acquired immunity for a particular disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Subunit, recombinant, conjugate, and polysaccharide vaccines use particular parts of the germ or virus. They can trigger very strong immune responses in the body because they use a specific part of the germ. Although the immune responses are strong, these types of vaccines may need topping up over time.

Detailed explanation-4: -The acquired immune system, with help from the innate system, makes special proteins (called antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader. These antibodies are developed by cells called B lymphocytes after the body has been exposed to the invader. The antibodies stay in your child’s body.
