A new vaccine is given as two injections, four weeks apart. Why is the second injection given?
It increases the number of memory cells, so immunity is stronger and lasts longer
It replaces the antibodies from the first injection, which have been broken down
It introduces a live form of the pathogen once the person has become partly immune
It allows the body to produce a different antibody against the same antigen
