This article is missing information about summary of the scientific mainstream's countering of the fringe anti-vaccine beliefs, given the large percentage of the list given over to antivaccination.. This concern has been noted on the talk page where whether or not to include such information may be discussed. (October 2011)
Flu vaccine

This is a list of vaccine-related topics.

A vaccine is a biological preparation that improves immunity to a particular disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism, and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe or its toxins. The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as foreign, destroy it, and "remember" it, so that the immune system can more easily recognize and destroy any of these microorganisms that it later encounters.[1]
