Vaccination is a process that gives a person protection, or immunity, against an infection. It works by giving very small parts of or a weakened form of a virus or bacterium. The virus or bacterium stimulates the body’s immune system to produce antibodies against known diseases. These antibodies are then able to recognize and effectively destroy the infection when they are next exposed to it.
Having a respiratory condition makes patients more susceptible to developing lung infections and vaccination is an effective way of helping protect against infections.
