What is vaccination? Why is it important@?

Dear Student,
 

Vaccination may be defined as protection of the body from communicable diseases by the administration of some agents that mimic the microbe.

In more deeper sense:
Vaccination is the process of administering an antigen into an individual so that the individual is able to fight against specific disease by boosted immune response.
In vaccination the microorganism (or antigen) is given in an inactive form (like heated) so that the body’s immune response produces antibodies against this antigen. The immune system of the body recognizes this antigen and when second time the same pathogen attacks the body a heightened immune response eliminates the pathogen by making the antibodies. 
 
As it prevents us from diseases. Therefore, it is important.
