The immune system is the body’s resistance against transmittable viruses and bacteria that can cause diseases. As soon as bacteria or viruses enter the body, the immune system begins to produce proteins called antibodies. This can attack and help destroy bacteria or viruses.

The parts of the viruses or bacteria that are used to set off responses by the body’s immune system are the active ingredients in vaccines. This contact teaches the immune system how to respond if the same viruses or bacteria enter the body again afterwards. In recent times, most vaccines were intended for babies and children alone. Now more and more vaccines are developed for use among elderly, pregnant mothers, adolescents, travellers and adults in a population.
Vaccines are increasingly being managed in form of combination of more than one component. Vaccinations of animals are being used both to prevent their contracting diseases and to prevent transmission of disease to humans.
