Vaccines are antigenic but not pathogenic, discuss this statement?

This statement is accurate in that vaccines contain antigens, which are substances that trigger an immune response in the body. These antigens are typically derived from weakened or killed forms of the pathogen that the vaccine is designed to protect against. However, because the pathogens in vaccines are either weakened or killed, they are not capable of causing disease in the individual receiving the vaccine.

In other words, while vaccines contain antigens that stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells to protect against future infections, they do not contain live, pathogenic forms of the virus or bacteria that could actually cause illness. This is why vaccines are considered safe and effective in preventing infectious diseases without causing harm to the individual receiving the vaccine.
