Vaccines
A vaccine is a weakened or attenuated form of the pathogen that contains antigens but is incapable of triggering disease
Vaccinations induce long-term immunity to specific pathogenic infections by stimulating the production of memory cells
Memory cells may not survive a lifetime and individuals may subsequently require a booster shot to maintain immunity
Memory cells are a long-lived lymphocyte capable of responding to a particular antigen on its reintroduction, long after the exposure that prompted its production.
