When you get a vaccination, you are usually being given a dead virus, or a weakened virus that won't harm you.  You body then develops antibodies to this virus.  These antibodies circulate in your blood system, usually for the rest of your life or for a given period of time and give you immunity towards the live virus if you encounter it.

Yes. Many people answering questions here have got the flu from a flu shot.\n\nDo NOT get vaccinated.\n\nA vaccinated person is MORE likely to get a disease than  a non-vaccinated person. The whole theory of vaccination is flawed. It causes a weakening of the immune system thus making those who are innoculated more susceptible to disease.\nThere are so many awful side effects to vaccination that it should be considered extremely dangerous.\nJust sit back and think for a while.\nIs there any sense in injecting a disease directly into your body.\nWe have been subjected to an awful mind control program to enable the drug manufacturers to make a fortune.\n\nThe Vaccination Hoax\nhttp://www.whale.to/b/hoax1.html\n\n\nIf you go to the vaccination liberation web page, at\nhttp://www.vaclib.org/exemption.htm\nYou will find all the forms necessary to provide exemption for your child.\n\nIf you want to study the history of vaccination, see\nhttp://dgwa1.fortunecity.com/body/vaccination.html

The  best way is to have a strong immune system and to be exposed to it at a young age so you prevent sickness from the same disease later on. Vaccinations and common hygene will also prevent sickness. Of course, nothing except abstinance and caution can protect one from something like AIDS.

Innate immunity is what you inherhit through your genes that provides an immediate defense against pathogens.\n\nI'm not sure of your question regarding how it affects sex and age, but the link below can provide more info.

First: Vaccine is given by shot or as a liquid by mouth--vaccines contain a weak or dead disease germ. \n\nNext: The body makes antibodies to fight the weak or dead germs in the vaccine. \n\nThen: These antibodies practice on the weak germs so when the real, strong disease germs--which can be lurking all around--invade the child's body, the antibodies will know how to destroy them and the child will not become ill. \n\nFinally: Protective antibodies stay on guard in the child's body to safeguard it from the real disease germs. \n\nAntibodies fight infectious diseases and usually stay in your system--even after the disease is gone--to protect you from getting sick again. This is called immunity.\n\nNewborn babies are immune to many diseases because they have antibodies they got from their mothers. But this immunity does not last. It wears off in the first year of life. Fortunately, we can keep children immune to many diseases, even after they lose their mothers' antibodies. We do this by vaccinating them against those diseases.\n\nVaccines give your baby's immune system the chance to practice and make protective antibodies before real germs invade. If left totally to chance, your baby's first exposure to a disease may be from a germ too strong for your baby to fight. That's why before parents had vaccines for their children, many children died from whooping cough, measles, diphtheria and other diseases. Those same germs exist today, but today's babies are protected by vaccines.

A vaccine looks like the real thing to our body.\nSo it fools our defense system to start building antibodies for that one germ or virus.\n\nSo when we are infected, our defense is already up and running.

immune system \nThe immune system is the system of specialised cells and organs that protect an organism from outside biological influences. (Though in a broad sense, almost every organ has a protective function - for example, the tight seal of the skin or the acidic environment of the stomach.) When the immune system is functioning properly, it protects the body against bacteria and viral infections, destroying cancer cells and foreign substances. If the immune system weakens, its ability to defend the body also weakens, allowing pathogens, including viruses that cause common colds and flu, to grow and flourish in the body. The immune system also performs surveillance of tumor cells, and immune suppression has been reported to increase the risk of certain types of cancer.\n\nThe immune system is often divided into two sections:\n\nInnate immunity: Comprised of hereditary components that provide an immediate "first-line" of defense to continuously ward off pathogens. \nAdaptive (acquired) immunity: By manufacturing antibodies (a type of protein) and T-cells specifically designed to target particular pathogens, the body can develop a specific immunity to particular pathogens. This response takes days to develop, and so is not effective at preventing an initial invasion, but it will normally prevent any subsequent infection, and also aids in clearing up longer-lasting infections. \n\n\n\n\nStructure\nMost multicellular organisms possess an "innate immune system", generally comprising a set of germ-line encoded receptors to pathogens, that does not change during the lifetime of the organism. Adaptive immunity, in which the responses to pathogens change and develop during the lifetime of an individual, seems to have appeared somewhat abruptly in evolutionary time, with the appearance of chondrichthyes (cartilaginous or jawed fish).\n\nOrganisms that possess an adaptive immunity also possess an innate immunity, and with many of the mechanisms between the systems being common, it is not always possible to draw a hard and fast boundary between the individual components involved in each, despite the clear difference in operation. Higher vertebrates and all mammals have both an innate and an adaptive immune system.\n\n\nInnate immune system\nThe adaptive immune system may take days or weeks, after an initial infection, to have an effect. However, most organisms are under constant assault from pathogens, which must be kept in check by the faster-acting innate immune system. Innate immunity defends against pathogens by rapid responses coordinated through "innate" receptors that recognize a wide spectrum of conserved pathogenic components. Plants and many lower animals do not possess an adaptive immune system, and rely instead on their innate immunity.\n\nThe study of the innate immune system has recently flourished. Earlier studies of innate immunity utilized model organisms that lack adaptive immunity, such as the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the fly Drosophila melanogaster, and the worm Caenorhabditis elegans. Recent advances have been made in the field of innate immunology with the discovery of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the intracellular nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat proteins (NODs), which are receptors in mammal cells that are responsible for a large proportion of the innate immune recognition of pathogens.\n\nIn 1989, prior to the discovery of mammalian TLRs, Charles Janeway conceptualized and proposed that evolutionarily conserved features of infectious organisms were detected by the immune system through a set of specialized receptors, which he termed pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), respectively. This was a remarkable insight at the time but was only fully appreciated after the discovery of TLRs by the Janeway lab in 1997. The TLRs now comprise the largest family of innate immune receptors (or PRRs). Janeway’s hypothesis has

there are two possible answers. It depends on piont of view. \nA. 1. Innate immunity (non specific immune responses)\n   2. Acquired immunity (specific antigen-mediated immune response)\n\nB. 1. Cell mediated immunity\n   2. Antibody mediated immunity\n\nSome people innate immunity name cell mediated and acquired call antibody mediated.

The German measles vaccine is a live irradiated virus, injected into you to stimulate an immune response.  The first thing the body does when it detects a virus or bacteria is to raise the body temperature.  While the body cells are quite capable of functioning in a higher temperature, virus and bacteria are extremely temperature sensitive and can't.  They quit reproducing and that gives the body immune system a chance to track them down.  Although you are only injected with a small amount, and it can't reproduce, your body doesn't know that- so it responds the way it was designed to.  Things go on red alert, the temperature goes up and the immune system goes into overdrive.   It normally only lasts a day, as that is all your body will need to take care of what was injected.  In the meantime, it's good news, lousy as you might feel, because you just confirmed you have a healthy and working immune system.

The flu shot is basically a small, inactive dose of the influenza virus. Because it is a small, inactive dose, your body can resist it and build antibodies to fight the influenza virus the next time you are exposed to it (Like when a classmate sneezes near you)
