Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material (a vaccine).  This is done to stimulate the immune system of a person to develop adaptive immunity to a disease. In other words, the vaccination prepares the body so that if it encounters the real pathogen–like a bacterium or virus–it has a better ability to fight it off.
