Vaccines
A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. Vaccines were first used by Edward Jenner (England) in the 1770s to inoculate small pox using the cow microbe. Vaccines have resulted in the eradication of small pox, one of the most contagious and deadly diseases known to man.
A vaccine is usually made from a weakened or attenuated form of the microbe that it is intended to fight. When the body recognizes the virulent microbe attack, it neutralises the target microbe before it can enter body cells.
