Vaccination is a preventive medicine technique whose objective is to procure immunity against an infectious organism, that is, a substance is administered that will cause your immune system to defend itself in case of contact with the microorganism and get the severity of the disease be much smaller or even, prevent the animal from getting sick.

The vaccines are prepared with killed microorganisms (inactivated vaccine) or live but weakened (attenuated vaccine). When administered, they prepare the body of the subject to learn how to fight that disease, and in this way, in case of infection, the body of the animal is able to solve it by itself.
