Brief: Vaccinations have long been a staple of the human fight against microorganisms. While a small percentage of the population believes that vaccinations have no actual impact on the human ability to battle illness. However, it has been proven in numerous studies that vaccinations do indeed help the immune system. This happens because the body is able to recognize the antigens present in the vaccination and apply them when the real pathogen does invade the body. The result being that the body's immune reaction has a quicker response which limits damage to the organism.
