vaccination response
Body's protective reaction
The body's reaction to a vaccine, typically involving immune system activation that produces antibodies and memory cells.
A strong vaccination response means the immune system recognized the vaccine components and prepared defenses against future infection: Her vaccination response was mild—just a sore arm and slight fatigue.
The term also describes how populations or communities react to vaccination programs: Public health officials monitored the vaccination response in rural areas.
