2. Red blood cells have adaptations that make them suitable for this.

3. The blood would not clot in case of an injury.

4. Blood supplies essential substances and nutrients.

Vaccines put either dead or weakened parts of a germ into your body. Then, the white blood cells recognize it and fight it off the next time it enters your body.
