Vaccines work by exposing the animal's immune system to a small, harmless version of a disease-causing agent, such as a virus or bacteria. This triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, which are proteins that help to fight off the disease.
When the animal is subsequently exposed to the actual disease-causing agent, their immune system is able to recognize it and quickly produce the necessary antibodies to fight it off, protecting the animal from becoming sick.
There are different types of vaccines available for pets, including killed vaccines, modified live vaccines, and subunit vaccines. Each type works in a slightly different way, but all are designed to stimulate the animal's immune system to produce antibodies and provide immunity against the disease.
Vaccines are an important tool in preventing the spread of infectious diseases in pets. By protecting your pet with vaccines, you are not only helping to keep them healthy, but also helping to protect other pets and even people in your community.
If you have questions and/or concerns
about vaccines and vaccination don’t hesitate to ask your vets London, ON.
