I’m working on an interactive activity around the concept of airborne virus infection prevention. To immunologists out there: what role does vaccination play in preventing infection? How do they reduce the severity of an infection (specifically looking at SARS-CoV-2). I’m looking for mechanics and timelines of preventing/mitigating infection. Resources/documentation appreciated. Thank you!
