give difference between vaccines and antibiotics.what is immunisation
Answers
Influenza vaccines prevent or mitigate infections. They are designed to induce a protective immune response in the body against the viruses represented in the vaccine. ... Viral diseases, like influenza, can therefore not be treated with antibiotics
Immunization, or immunisation, is the process by which an individual's immune system becomes fortified against an agent.
Vaccine:
These medicines which are given to prevent a disease. These medicine makes person defenced/immunised from a particular disease.
Example: Polio, measles, influenza, rubella virus etc.
Antibiotic:
These are the medicines which are given to a person to kill the pathogen which has caused a particular disease to that person.
Here, Anti refers to against and biotic refer to life so combining it we say "against the life" ( with reference to the pathogen and not the person to whom we have the antibiotic)
Ex: Streptomycin, chlorophenerol etc.
