Trials of vaccines and treatments
A vaccine is a medical innovation designed to protect individuals from infectious diseases. It works by stimulating the body’s immune system to recognize and fight harmful pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria, without causing the illness itself.
Why Vaccines Are Important:
Protect against severe illness and complications.
- Helps protect those who cannot be vaccinated by reducing the spread of disease.
- Eradicated diseases such as smallpox and significantly reduced others like polio.
