|
Some individuals are allergic to the first shot, so they need more than one shot.
|
|
|
The booster vaccines contain different materials.
|
|
|
When the body is re-exposed to a disease agent, it forms more memory cells for immunity.
|
|
|
A booster shot will activate different cells of the immune system from those activated by the first vaccine.

Detailed explanation-1: -When you get a vaccine, it sparks your immune response, helping your body fight off and remember the germ so it can attack it if the germ ever invades again. And since vaccines are made of very small amounts of weak or dead germs, they won’t make you sick.
Detailed explanation-2: -After immunization, dendritic cells take up microbial antigens and traffic to draining lymph nodes where they present processed antigens to naïve T cells. These naïve T cells are stimulated to proliferate and differentiate into effector and memory T cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -When a person gets a vaccine, the immune system responds to the antigen as if it were exposed to the actual germ (it makes antibodies and remembers how to defeat it). Then, if the body gets exposed to the actual germ, the immune system can recognize it right away and quickly fight it off to prevent disease.
Detailed explanation-4: -Active Immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Active immunity can be acquired through natural immunity or vaccine-induced immunity.
