What is Vaccination?

   
  Food & Nutrition Vaccinations are a fantastic way of protecting your body against disease.  A vaccine is a tiny piece of a microbe that is dead or really weak so it doesn’t make you sick.  When your immune system meets this tiny piece of microbe in your blood, it makes an antibody to help destroy it.  The antibody stays on patrol in your blood so if you meet this microbe again, your body is well prepared to defend you!
