-is the administration of antigenic material to stimulate an individual's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen. It can prevent or ameliorate infectious disease. When a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, herd immunity results. The effectiveness of vaccination has been widely studied and verified. Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases; widespread immunity due to vaccination is largely responsible for the worldwide eradication of smallpox and the elimination of diseases such as polio, measles, and tetanus from much of the world.

In the United States, people may receive compensation for those injuries under the You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now..
