A vaccination is a weakened form of a disease injected into your body, usually in your arm and sometimes in your buttocks. Our bodies will detect this weakened disease and our bodies will produce antibodies to fight this disease.
These antibodies will stay in our bodies for a long period of time, in some cases our entire life. If our bodies are ever exposed to the disease our bodies will fight it off as we are now immune to the disease.
