Vaccines containing antigens are introduced into the body, stimulating the immune system response by instructing B cells, with assistance from T cells, to produce antibodies. Antibodies are produced to fight the weakened or dead viruses in the vaccine. The immune system prepares to destroy real and stronger viruses in the future. When new antigens enter the body, white blood cells called macrophages engulf them; process the information contained in the antigens, and send it to the T cells so that an immune system response can be mobilized.
