Okay, when foreign viruses and bacteria enter the body, the immune system reacts to it. White blood cells attack and fight off the bacteria.

The purpose of the flu shot is to inject dead viruses from the flu into the body. The immune system attacks it. Next time a flu virus like the one they injected in your body enter, the immune system knows and recognizes the virus to attack it.
