A Correct answer
Explanation

Vaccines work by introducing weakened or dead forms of pathogens (or their components) into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells without causing actual disease. When the real pathogen attacks later, the body is prepared to fight it off. Vaccines do not contain antibiotics, antibodies, or living healthy microbes.
