Vaccination

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins.

Vaccines represent an important part of the pharmaceuticals industry and have caused controversy because of the financial and medical impacts of dosing large swathes of population with the same medicine – including issues of consent, adequate testing for edge cases and government procurement.
