A vaccine contains half killed or weakened pathogen such as a virus or bacterium, which causes a specific disease. A vaccine can be administered orally or through an injection in a healthy human. The function of the vaccine is to train the immune system by detecting the pathogen and kill them. After vaccination the cells (B lymphocytes) of the immune detects the antigens in the vaccine.
