or their component or their metabolic products, that are used as antigens to produce immunity against infection caused by these microorganisms

When injected in a normal healthy person, vaccine-induced antibodies provide acquired immunity against subsequent infection from that specific micro-organism.

The injection of vaccine is called a ‘shot’.

the shot involves the injection of an attenuated microorganism Whose violence is weakened Are ability to cause disease is lost,
