Définition(s)

Vaccination is the process of producing immunity against a disease by exposing individuals to weakened, dead, or closely related (but relatively harmless) versions of the pathogen that causes this disease. With the advent of widespread vaccination within populations, rates of vaccine-preventable diseases have dropped dramatically, leading to significant decreases in both morbidity and mortality.
