What happens during the disease - diphtheria vaccine
Diphtheria is caused by the bacteria corynebacterium diphtheriae. it produces a toxin that damages the body's tissues and can cause severe swelling of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing. the diphtheria vaccine works by introducing a weakened form of the bacteria into the body, which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies that will protect against future infection. the vaccine also provides passive immunity, which helps protect against the effects of the toxin if a person is exposed to the bacteria.
