What is Vaccination?
Vaccination is a process in which an antigenic substance or vaccine that provides immunity against diseases is injected into the body of the recipients. This substance boosts up immunity in the human body and protects the vaccinated person from infection. The term vaccination and immunization have often used in a similar way mistakenly, but they have different meanings. Vaccination is the process of administration of vaccine while immunization is basically what happens to the body after being vaccinated. Medicare Pharmacy brings various types of vaccines (Typhoid, Hepatitis B, Pneumonia, Cervical cancer, etc.) at your home.
