\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \nTo understand how vaccines work, it helps to look first at how the immune system works, because vaccines harness the natural activity of your immune system. This short animation explains how vaccines enable the body to make the right sort of antibodies to fight a particular disease.

\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \nFlu vaccination uptake amongst healthcare workers in England is below the NHS target of 75%. Reasons may include mixed views on the vaccine\u2019s effectiveness, side effects and belief they are unlikely to catch or transmit flu. Andrew J. Pollard, Professor of Paediatric Infection and Immunity, Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Paediatrics, provided an expert commentary on a recent study investigating this phenomenon.
