What is Immunisation ?
Immunization, or Immunisation, is the process by which an individual's immune system becomes fortified against an agent (known as the immunogen)Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material (a vaccine) to stimulate an individual's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen. Vaccines can prevent or ameliorate morbidity from infection. When a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, this results in herd immunity.
