> Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease
I'm not sure you hit an eventual consistency thing while you read the source you cited, but the definition of a vaccine in it does not match your definition.
A vaccine, according to the CDC source you quoted, is:
> Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. (...)
Keep in mind that your personal definition of a vaccine does not match how most vaccines work, if any vaccine at all.
- paul_f 5y agoFrom the CDC: Vaccine = "Produce immunity". Immunity = "you can be exposed to it without becoming infected" It's right there. This definition, and the most common understanding is that a vaccine means "without being infected".
