• To protect them against prevalent diseases.

What is a pathogen?

• A) A foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body.

• B) A protein produced by the immune system when the body recognizes harmful antigens.

• C) An agent capable of causing disease.

What does a vaccine consist of?

• An antigen for a particular pathogen (disease)

What does the learning material state about the pathogen within a vaccine?

• It is always inactivated.
