How does vaccination lead to immunity?

Vaccination involves administering a dead or inactive form of a pathogen to a subject, which stimulates white blood cells into producing antibodies specific for that pathogen. If the subject encounters the same pathogen again, the white blood cells will recognise it and rapidly produce the correct antibodies to destory the pathogen.
