The 20 questions
-
What is introduced into the body during a vaccination?
- Strong antibiotics
- Live bacteria

-
What does a vaccine stimulate the white blood cells to produce?
- Thyroxine
- Adrenaline

- Insulin
-
How do white blood cells respond if a vaccinated pathogen returns?
- Immediate fever
- Delayed replication
- Slow digestion
- Rapid antibody production
-
How does vaccination primarily protect an individual against a pathogen?
- Relieving symptoms
- Destroying cells
- Stimulating antibodies
- Killing bacteria
-
What is the main benefit of immunising a large proportion of a population?
- Herd immunity
- Pathogen mutation
- Bacterial growth
- Immunity loss
-
What is the term for indirect protection when most of a population is immune?
- Herd immunity
- Phagocytosis
- Antibiotic resistance
- Antitoxin production
-
Which detail regarding vaccines are GCSE students not required to know?
- Antiboid production
- Immune response
- Dead pathogens
- Specific side effects
-
What type of immune response is triggered by a vaccine?
- General inflammatory response
- Immediate bacterial lysis
- Non-specific phagocytosis
- Specific immune response
-
What happens when a vaccinated person is later exposed to the same pathogen?
- Delayed antibody response
- Rapid antibody production
- Immediate phagocytosis
- Instant antitoxin release
-
Why are dead or inactive pathogens used in vaccines?
- They kill cells
- They cause disease
- They are safe
- They reproduce
-
Between two villages, one highly vaccinated and one poorly vaccinated, where are fewer cases expected?
- Vaccinated village
- Neither village
- Unvaccinated village
- Both equal
-
A vaccine stimulates antibody production against how many targets?
- All known bacteria
- Every viral infection
- Any foreign protein
- One specific pathogen
-
What is the likely consequence if a pathogen mutates significantly after a vaccine has been given?
- Faster phagocytosis
- Enhanced immunity
- Reduced protection
- Complete eradication
-
What form of a pathogen is used in standard medical vaccines?
- Strongly mutated
- Fully active
- Dead or inactive
- Live and virulent
-
Which cells are stimulated first by a vaccine?
- Red blood cells
- Nerve cells
- Muscle cells
- White blood cells
-
What is the primary benefit of immunising a large proportion of the population?
- Enhanced physical growth
- Increased antibiotic resistance
- Reduced pathogen spread
- Permanent pathogen eradication
-
Which cells produce antibodies in response to a vaccine?
- White blood cells
- Bacterial cells
- Platelet cells
- Red blood cells
-
Why is the secondary immune response much quicker than the primary response?
- Immune memory
- Stronger fever
- More antibiotics
- Larger pathogens
-
What is a major public health benefit of widespread immunisation programmes?
- Destroying all pathogens
- Creating antibiotics
- Stopping all mutations
- Preventing outbreaks
-
What global topic regarding vaccination does the GCSE specification ask students to evaluate?
- Pathogen evolution
- Antibiotic resistance
- Disease prevention
- Painkiller manufacturing
