How would this best be rendered?

TIA

Explanation:
Vaccines can be prophylactic (example: to prevent or ameliorate the effects of a future infection by a natural or "wild" pathogen), or therapeutic (e.g., vaccines against cancer are being investigated). The administration of vaccines is called vaccination. [FOUND ON GOOGLE]
