The Difference Between Vaccinations and Immunizations
Vaccinations and immunizations are very similar, but there are a few differences. Vaccinations deploy the vaccine into your body, stimulating your immune system and putting your body into protection mode. Immunizations differ slightly by building immunity to the infectious disease or virus, usually from a vaccine.
