How do vaccines work against viruses?
A
Vaccines are like antibiotics, except they work against viruses.
B
Vaccines prepare the immune system to fight the virus without harming the host.
C
Vaccines make it impossible for a virus to enter a host cell.
D
Vaccines find viral DNA or RNA and cut it to pieces, making the virus unable to replicate.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -How vaccines help. 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: -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-3: -Vaccines contain dead or weakened microbes of a particular disease. When a vaccine is introduced into a healthy body, the body fights and kills them by producing suitable antibodies. These antibodies remain in the body and protects it from the microbe when it invades the body again.

Detailed explanation-4: -How do vaccines work? Vaccines help your immune system fight infections faster and more effectively. 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease. However, because vaccines contain only killed or weakened forms of germs like viruses or bacteria, they do not cause the disease or put you at risk of its complications.
