Abstract

A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a specific disease. More than two centuries have passed since the first successful vaccine for smallpox was developed. We've come a long way since. Today's vaccines are among the 21(st) century's most successful and cost-effective public health tools for preventing diseases.

Keywords: Dermatology; immunity; vaccine
