I'm not an expert, but from what I can gather, vaccinations are used for both virus' and pathogenic bacteria (harmful bacteria).
Vaccines contain a section/segment of the virus or bacteria (for example a flagella) to infect the body. The body then produces memory cells so that the body has an immunity against the virus or bacteria (note that this immunity may not last a lifetime).
Yes, that is exactly how cell/virus free vaccines are made. They usually have much milder side effects than vaccines containing whole (killed or attenuated) cells or viruses.
They can be either. Some vaccines are made with dead viruses or particles of viruses and other vaccines are made with attenuated (weakened) viruses that are not able to make an otherwise healthy person sick. In 2009 the swine flu vaccine approved for use in the US was prepared both ways, the nasal flu vaccine was made from attenuated viruses and the shots were made with dead viruses.
Dead or altered viruses or bacteria that are used to stimulate the body's immune response are called vaccines. Vaccines contain weakened or inactivated forms of the pathogen, or certain proteins or subunits of the pathogen, to trigger an immune response without causing the disease. This allows the body to recognize and fight the pathogen more effectively if encountered in the future.
NO They only set your body up to defend, against them if they havn't encounterd the threat before. If you allready have it than it to late to vacinate. Matthew Morgan To be more spefic they kill viruses
Yes, they both do. The difference is that you can cure diseases from bacteria but not from viruses. You can prevent both kinds with vaccines.

Vaccines are used to make your body produce antibodiesand T-cells against viruses or bacteria! The Measles and Flu vaccines are viral. The Whooping Cough (Pertussis) and Tuberculosis vaccines are bacterial.
Currently, all vaccines on the market today only exist for diseases caused by viruses- though not all diseases caused by viruses have a corresponding vaccine. Notably, the common cold (rhinoviruses) and AIDS (HIV) have no vaccines.
No. Vaccines are not used for treatment. They are used as prevention.
Vaccines don't kill viruses or diseases; they prevent disease before you are infected.

This is how vaccines help the body's natural defenses against viruses: -because vaccines contain weak and dead viruses -this can help our immune system to recognize and adapt to it -so this will not be the problem for it if later on this type of viruses threat us Hope this help Vipha
Antibiotics only works against bacteria! Since Viruses are not living things, ( because they are single celled organisms) they can only be prevented and can never be "cured". To prevent from obtaining viruses, you get Vaccines (shots). Vaccines are weak or dead viruses injected into your body to release mass amounts of B cells that will help fight against the disease.
What are vaccines for influenza made from?parts or products of a virusdead, whole virusesantibodies to the virusweakened viruses
Vaccines for the prevention of the specific viral infection can be made with inactive "dead" viruses. They are also made with live, but attenuated (weakened), viruses. See more below about vaccines.

Because certain viruses and bacteria evolve to become resistant to the old vaccines.
