Pathogens infect the body activating the innate followed by the adaptive immune system. Vaccines perform a very similar function, but one does not become ill during the primary immune response (initiated by a vaccine).
Recall:
Review the following terms:
primary immune response
secondary immune response
adaptive immunity
Instructions:
Describe what happens during a primary followed by a secondary immune response when one becomes ill
Compare that to when one is vaccinated
Be sure to include the specific type of adaptive immunity each would elicit.
