Vaccine-induced immunity results after you receive a vaccine. The vaccine triggers your immune system's infection-fighting ability and memory without exposure to the actual disease-producing germs. A vaccine contains a killed or weakened form or derivative of the infectious germ. When given to a healthy person, the vaccine triggers an immune response. The vaccine makes your body think that it's being invaded by a specific organism, and your immune system goes to work to destroy the invader and prevent it from infecting you again.

If you're exposed to a disease for which you've been vaccinated, the invading germs are met by antibodies that will destroy them. The immunity you develop following vaccination is similar to the immunity acquired from natural infection.

Several doses of a vaccine may be needed for a full immune response. Some people fail to achieve full immunity to the first doses of a vaccine but respond to later doses. In addition, the immunity provided by some vaccines, such as tetanus and pertussis, isn't lifelong. Because the immune response may decrease over time, you may need another dose of a vaccine (booster shot) to restore or increase your immunity.
