Vaccination is a way to prevent infectious diseases. It trains the immune system to know and fight foreign objects such as viruses and bacteria. After vaccination, the B lymphocytes will be able to detect the antigen that is present in the vaccine and react to such invasion. It will multiply to be able to respond to such an invasion. The plasma cells will produce antibodies to inactivate the pathogen you are fighting at through vaccination. The memory cells will be produces and remains in your system.

Answer - Option 2 - stimulating antibody production

Vaccination does not inhibit antigen production. Vaccination stimulates antibody production to kill the antigen. It does not inhibit WBC production nor stimulate RBC production.
