Introduction: Vaccines are biological substances that stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response against specific infectious diseases. They are typically composed of weakened or inactivated forms of pathogens (such as viruses or bacteria), parts of pathogens, or toxins produced by pathogens. When administered to individuals, vaccines prime the immune system to recognize and combat the pathogen if the individual is exposed to it in the future, thereby preventing or reducing the severity of the disease. Vaccines have played a critical role in controlling and eradicating infectious diseases and are one of the most effective public health interventions available.
