4- Vaccinations
Like human bodies, animal bodies contain a multitude of antibodies that make the immune system fight specific viruses and bacteria these antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to pathogens but if the infection is very strong the body may not be able to produce antibodies quickly enough.
Vaccination gives the chance to the immune system to produce antibodies by exposing it to a weak version of pathogens.
Vaccines contain little amount of infectious agents that let the immune system produce antibodies without making the patient sick.
