Question

1. which of the following is effective in reducing the number of viral infections?

antibodies
vaccines
innoculation
none of the above
clear all

Explanation:

Vaccines work by introducing a weakened or inactivated form of a virus (or parts of it) into the body. This triggers the immune system to produce antibodies against that virus. When the actual virus later tries to infect the body, the pre - existing antibodies can quickly recognize and neutralize it, preventing or reducing the severity of the infection. Innoculation is the process of administering a vaccine. Antibodies are the end - product of the immune response triggered by vaccines (or natural infection), but it is the vaccines (through the process of inoculation) that are proactively used to reduce the number of viral infections on a population - wide scale.

Answer:

vaccines
