Vaccination is a crucial tool in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. By introducing a weakened or inactivated form of a pathogen into the body, vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response. This prepares the immune system to recognize and fight the actual pathogen if the individual is later exposed to it. Vaccination has played a significant role in the control and, in some cases, the eradication of diseases such as smallpox and polio, contributing to global public health efforts.
