Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system by presenting a harmless part of a pathogen (such as a protein or weakened form) to the body. This exposure triggers an immune response, including the activation of the adaptive immune system. The adaptive immune response involves the production of antibodies and memory cells that "remember" the pathogen.
