antiviral vaccination strategies

Antiviral vaccination strategies aim to protect individuals and populations from viruses by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight them. Vaccines can prevent infection by introducing harmless virus parts or weakened forms, prompting an immune response. In some cases, vaccines are used therapeutically to help infected individuals recover faster or reduce severity. Strategies include targeted vaccination for high-risk groups, mass immunization campaigns to achieve herd immunity, and booster shots to maintain protection over time. Overall, these approaches help control virus spread, reduce illness, and save lives by preparing the body to respond effectively to viral threats.
