Building immunity: Vaccines are designed to turn on the antibody production of our body to the point we are protected as if we had the illness. Wild diseases do that by constantly stimulating you over the days or weeks of the illness. Vaccines can require 2-3 doses to replicate this long term simulation, thereby producing protection that can last where a single injection may provide only brief protection.
