Infectious diseases have been,are and remain an area of pathological transmission,with the socio-economical, cultural and behavioral determinism that influence the whole population.
A vaccine is a biological compound that improves immunity to a particular disease,through the administration of immunobiological compounds wich containes human or animal antigens or antibodies
The agent stimulates the body’s immune system to recognize the agent as non-self,destroy it, and keep a record of it
Vaccination is one of the measures with the best results.
OBJECTIVE
