Child immunization and Vaccination Viral Immunology

Vaccination increases the levels of circulating antibodies against a certain antigen. Antibodies are produced by a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte) called B cells. Each B cell can only produce antibodies against one specific epitope. Currently available live attenuated viral vaccines are measles, mumps, rubella, vaccinia, varicella, zoster, Being vaccinated against one disease does not weaken the immune response to another disease. No, the immune system makes antibodies against a germ, like the chickenpox virus, whether it encounters it naturally or is exposed to it through a vaccine. vaccines are exposed to enough of the virus or bacteria to develop immunity, but not enough to make them sick. child by 2 years of age, your child should be protected against 14 vaccine preventable diseases.
