A
"virus vaccine" is a type of medicine that helps our bodies fight off harmful viruses. It is given as a shot or sometimes as a nasal spray, and it helps our immune system learn how to recognize and destroy the virus if we come into contact with it. It keeps us healthy and protects us from getting sick from certain viruses.
