1. Vaccination: Vaccination is a method of making the body immune to a particular  disease by injecting killed or weakened disease causing microbe into a body to  stimulate the formation of antibodies and develop immunity to that disease  causing microbe.  

2. Immunisation: Immunisation is body’s natural defence mechanism which acts by  producing antibodies against the antigens infecting the body.  

3. Immunity: The ability of an organism to resist and overcome infection is called  immunity.  

4. Vaccine: A vaccine is a biological preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen  (disease causing microbes) which stimulates the formation of antibodies and  develops immunity against a particular disease.  

5. Pathogen: Any organism that is capable of causing disease is called a pathogen.  Examples: bacteria, virus or other microorganism.

6. Atherosclerosis: Atherosclerosis is a disease caused by the malfuntioning of heart wherein the arterial walls get hardened and thickened, reducing the flow of blood and raising the blood pressure
