Definition(s)
- Vaccination is a medical procedure that produces immunity to a disease in an individual by deliberately exposing the person to a less harmful (weakened or dead) version of a pathogen, such as the virus that causes measles. This exposure stimulates the immune system to create antibodies, which offer protection against future exposures to the same pathogen.
