A vaccine is a biological preparation that gives dynamic procured safety to a specific malady.  A vaccine typically contains an agent that look like a disease-causing micro-organism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins or one of its surface proteins. The agent releases the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it, and keep a record of it, so that the immune system can more easily recognize and destroy any of these micro-organisms that it later encounters. A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is utilized to treat a specific condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
