How Do Vaccines Work?



Vaccinations can reduce the severity of future infections, certain vaccines can prevent infection entirely, and veterinarians now have access to a wide range of vaccines. Any therapy has some risks, but preventing your pet from potentially deadly illnesses outweighs the advantages. Vaccines include trace amounts of the bacterium or the virus. They function by activating the body's immune system to produce particular cells that are tasked to fight specific diseases.


When exposed to certain infections, a vaccinated animal can react fast and fight off the sickness. However, because these individual cells have limited lifespans, booster vaccines are required to maintain the proper levels of specific immune cells that can assist the body fight disease. Two elements can influence how long a vaccination can protect an animal. First is the type of vaccination, which might be live, dead, or diminished virus or bacterium. Another consideration is the animal getting vaccinated.
