Active Immunization or Vaccination
The terms vaccination and vaccine derive from the work of Edward Jenner who, over 200 years ago, showed that inoculating people with material from skin lesions caused by cowpox (L.

Vaccines
Vaccination to activate a long term immune response has erradicated small pox, and has nearly eliminated polio as a human disease. Major efforts are underway to develop HIV vaccines.
Vaccines
Vaccines were previously made by killing or weakening a virus or bacteria and then injecting it. Its surface proteins caused an immune reaction. Occasionally, these vaccines would make people ill.
Vaccine. A preparation of dead or weakened pathogen, or of derived antigenic determinants, that is used to induce formation of antibodies or immunity against the pathogen. (See Polyvalent vaccine, Subunit vaccine.) ...
Better Vaccines
Vaccines made of genetic material, either DNA or RNA, promise all the benefits of existing vaccines without all the risks. They will activate the immune system but will be unable to cause infections.
Because vaccines are down the road, how important is it to continue really strong public health policies and prevention information and education, and get that information out to people? ...
Vaccines are injections given to you to prevent a viral or other pathogen induced illness. The vaccine mimics the pathogen.
Vaccines for malaria are under development, with no completely effective vaccine yet available (as of November 2004).

vaccine (vaccination) - material used to induce specific protective immunity to a pathogen. Vaccination is an artificial introduction of a killed or attenuated pathogen to promote protective immunity.

In addition to vaccines, a few other weapons have been designed to combat the flu.
Agents, such as vaccines, that give immunity to diseases or harmful biotic stresses. Biomass. The total dry weight of all organisms in a particular sample, population, or area. Bioremediation.
Viral diseases in humans are controlled by preventing transmission, administering vaccines, and only recently by the administration of antiviral drugs.

Viruses are very interesting in that they can only survive inside a living cell. So they must have a living cell in order to survive and replicate. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, but vaccines are, as well as some antivirals.
