Vaccines
An Adverse Event Following Immunization is any untoward medical occurrence which follows immunization, and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the usage of the vaccine.
The more percentage of the population are vaccinated, the less likely people who are unable to be protected by vaccines are at risk of even being exposed to the harmful pathogens. This is called herd immunity.
Vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of a particular organism (antigen) that triggers an immune response within the body.
