MyNPS Search. Vaccination is when a virus, or bacteria, is deliberately administered to you (usually by injection) so that your immune system can prepare to fight a future infection.
An attenuated vaccine is a vaccine created by reducing the virulence of a pathogen, but still keeping it viable (or live). Attenuation takes an infectious agent and alters it so that it becomes harmless or less virulent. These vaccines contrast to those produced by killing the virus (inactivated vaccine).
