Solution

Vaccine is a preventive measure hence vaccine can be given to healthy people also. Certain vaccines are given to children before 5 years of age. This vaccine is for diptheria, tetanus, pertusis and polio. Pregnant women are given vaccine to prevent the newborn from infection.

Vaccination provide artificial immunity hence this immunity is often temporary.
