Vaccines are related to memory because they prompt the immune system to produce a memory response. When a vaccine is administered, it stimulates the immune system to recognize and mount a defense against a specific pathogen. This immune response includes the production of memory cells which "remember" the pathogen, allowing the immune system to respond more quickly and effectively if exposed to the same pathogen in the future.

∙ 11y agoThe memory you are referring to is the "memory" of the immunesystem. Commonly vaccines are injection of antigenes that belong to various dangerous viral/bacterial and/or parasitic infections.
When the antigenes are injected into the body it causes an immune response, various cells related to the immune system (lymphocytes) will attack the antigenes, and antibodies holding that specific antigene will be formed.
This memory can last more or less a lifetime, and when the organism that owns that antigene the immunesystem will recognize it and the organism will be helpless against the immuneresponse and antibodies that are in store for it.
It should also be noted that many parasites have the ability to "coat" themselves, and thus they do not have any specific antigenes, resulting in dangerous parasitic infections that the immunesystem can not fight. (Like for example malaria.)

What is the human memory?
Memory is the ability to recall information and experiences. Memory and learning are related because in order to be able to remember something it must first be "learned." Memories may be facts or skills. Memory "traces" have been described traditionally as concrete things that are formed during learning and imprinted on the brain when neurons record and store information. However, the way that memories are formed and represented in the brain is not well understood.
What are the similarities between the working model of memory and the multi store model?
Both the working model and the multi-store model of memory acknowledge the existence of three main components of memory: sensory memory, short term memory and long term memory.
What do vaccines produce?
Immunity via the production of long lived memory lymphocyte cells in the immune system.
What do you do about side effects from the swine flu vaccines?
Report them to your doctor. Your doctor is working with those who monitor the side effects of vaccines and will report your symptoms to them to add to the study if it is something connected with the vaccination. See the related questions and related links below.
The memory for events and facts related to oneself?
Autobiographical memory
What antivirus is in the swine flu vaccine?
The vaccines are different than anti virus medicines, so there is no anti virus medicine contained in the vaccines. See below for related questions for more detail.
What is SIGBUS?
SIGBUS is an event that occurs when a program or application tries to do something with memory it doesn't own or memory that is readonly. It is a "bus error", related to bad memory handling. See the related link for detailed information.
What are edible vaccines?
Edible vaccines are vaccines produced in plants genetically modified through bioengineering.
