Which of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation: Statements 1 and 2 are correct
Statement 1 is correct: Vaccination is the process of administering a vaccine to stimulate an individual’s immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen.
Statement 2 is correct: The vaccine introduces antigens into the body, which the immune system detects as foreign.
Statement 3 is incorrect: The rabies vaccine used in humans is a type of inactivated vaccine, not a live-attenuated vaccine. Inactivated vaccines contain a killed version of the virus, while live-attenuated vaccines use a weakened form of the virus.
