, and a number of other microbial menaces — Americans are understandably interested in steps to bolster the physiological firewalls of their immune systems to ward off this evolving menagerie of threats. Vaccination and boosting help to armor up by preparing adaptive immunity for a specific threat, as we've seen with the vaccines that prime the immune system against variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID, as well as flu shots.
