Vaccine (Baby)

A preparation, often of living weakened microorganisms, that is introduced into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease by causing the formation of antibodies.

Vaccine (Beauty)

An immunization performed primarily by needle injection that creates antibodies to fight a particular virus.

Vaccine (Biotechnology)

A preparation of killed or living attenuated microorganisms or part thereof, that are administered to a person or animal to produce artificial immunity to a particular disease.

Vaccine (Breast Cancer)

A substance containing antigenic components from an infectious organism. By stimulating an immune response, it protects against subsequent infection by that organism.

Vaccine (Cancer)

A substance or group of substances meant to cause the immune system to respond to a tumor or to microorganisms, such as bacteria or viruses. A vaccine can help the body recognize and destroy cancer cells or microorganisms.

Vaccine (Canine)

A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure that upon administration stimulates antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection.

Vaccine (Dairy Production)

Attenuated organism or killed organism (or sub-unit components) that is administered to train the immune system of a susceptible animal to recognize, fight and destroy invading pathogens.

Vaccine (Disease)

A preparation made from killed or weakened pathogens which when introduced in the body induce the production of antibodies and thus boost the body's immunity against that pathogen.

Vaccine (Female Health)

A substance which is used to trigger the immune system to react against a specific infection

Vaccine (HIV and AIDs)

A molecule that causes an immune response. Vaccines usually consist of a small portion of the organism (often a virus) we want to avoid. Some vaccines are weakened or killed versions of the organism. The idea is to "educate" the immune system so that exposure will not catch the body off guard; it will already have antibodies designed to neutralize the bug. Most vaccines are safe and desirable in people with HIV infection, but live, weakened ones are to be avoided.

Vaccine (Health and Beauty)

An immunization performed primarily by needle injection that creates antibodies to fight a particular virus.

Vaccine (Hepatitis B)

A medication that stimulates the production of antibodies to protect against a specific disease. There is a hepatitis A vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, and a combination vaccine that provides protection against both hepatitis A and B at the same time.

Vaccine (Hepatitis C)

A preparation of dead or live attenuated, viruses or bacteria used to prevent infectious diseases by inducing active immunity.

Vaccine (Immunization)

A product that produces immunity therefore protecting the body from the disease. Vaccines are administered through needle injections, by mouth and by aerosol.

Vaccine (Legal, Mesothelioma)

The modified virus of a disease used to bring about resistance to that disease for a period of time, or even permanently. Development of a cancer vaccine is a subject of intense research.

Vaccine (Lymphoma)

A compound or group of compounds designed to produce an immune response to a tumor or disease.

Vaccine (Medical)

A preparation of weakened microorganisms given to create resistance to a certain disease

Vaccine (Microbiology)

Material used to induce specific protective immunity against a pathogen.

Vaccine (Nutrition)

A preparation administered to achieve immunity against a specific agent by inducing the body to make antibodies to that agent. A vaccine may be a suspension of living or dead microorganisms, or a solution of an allergen or viral or bacterial antigens.

Vaccine (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)

A weak mixture of VIRUSES (a kind of germ) that a scientist makes. Since the VIRUS is either killed or weakened, the body can easily defeat it. After the body defeats the VIRUS, it can make ANTIBODIES that kill and easily recognize the VIRUS. The next time the VIRUS infects the person, the body's IMMUNE SYSTEM is already prepared. Only VIRUSES are affected by VACCINES. VACCINES only work if they are injected BEFORE someone gets a virus.

Vaccine (Women's Health)

Medicine that protects the body from the disease.
