The main goal is of vaccinations is to prevent illnesses and diseases. Vaccines are a type of medicine that cures and prevent illness by injecting the illness in people. This is caused by stimulating the immunity of bodies. Vaccines fight off disease by allowing a body to obtain small amounts of the virus, or a version of the virus, thus allowing it to become immune to the virus. Vaccines are made to fight off viral viruses as well as disease pathogens. Pathogens entering a body will allow the body to use antibodies to fight off the virus, but even if your antibodies work, they might not work completely. Becoming sick, however, does not mean that the antibodies are not working. It simply means that the antibodies are working to take care of

Eradication is the ideal solution to this problem. But the problem with eradication is that it does not entirely work most of the time. The way to fully complete eradication is through a high level of study and surveillance, finding and identifying new cases of the disease quickly, and tracking anyone that may have been recently exposed to the certain disease and vaccinating them as soon as possible, (also known as ring vaccination) which allows effective recovery and prevention from any further contamination. This was tested with the disease of smallpox. The World Health Association worked to rid the disease and in 1980 was said to be fully eradicated. The last case ever seen of smallpox was in Somalia in 1977 (Disease Eradication). This has given the world of vaccinations a whole new level of hope. The World Health Association has attempted to eradicate many other diseases such as malaria, yaws, and yellow fever and have failed, but this attempt was not quite so unsuccessful. These attempts of eradication led to various unknown facts about the diseases. Even though these diseases were not eradicated, the WHO was able to continue the process of elimination. Many people often confuse eradication with elimination. Elimination is simply the act of reducing while eradication is obliterating or
