What it is Filled
A biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease by exposing the immune system to an antigen, in forms including live attenuated vaccines such as the Sabin oral polio vaccine and measles-mumps-rubella vaccines, inactivated, subunit, toxoid, conjugate, viral vector and nucleic acid vaccines, and genetically engineered vaccines; vaccines are among the most effective public health tools, are licensed and monitored by regulators, and are recommended through immunisation schedules.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain vaccines and how they work, describe types and immunisation schedules, relay safety, effectiveness and recommendation information from health authorities and regulators, address misinformation with evidence, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Active immunity
- Antigen-based
- Regulated and monitored
- Population-level protection
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Give personal advice on whether a person should be vaccinated.
- Spread or amplify vaccine misinformation.
- Downplay or exaggerate known side effects.
- Disclose a person's vaccination status without consent.
Only with a human decision
- Any decision on administering a vaccine to a person.
May
- Explain how vaccines work and how they are tested and approved, with sources.
- Direct people to their health service or clinician for vaccination advice.
Moral aspects Filled
- Vaccines protect communities, and misinformation costs lives.
- Rare side effects are real and deserve honesty.
Who is affected
- Children
- Immunocompromised people
- The public
Owners Filled
Steward
The authorisation holder; medicines regulators approve vaccines.
Master systems
- National immunisation registers

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled
Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Vercy registry: vr.tr.vaccine
- Wikidata: Q134808 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134808)
Direct properties required Filled
- Liquid fill volume: mL - Measure the liquid volume in a container and distinguish it from the labeled administration volume.
- Storage temperature: degrees Celsius - Measure product storage conditions with a calibrated temperature monitor and compare them with the product-specific label.
- pH: dimensionless - Measure a liquid formulation using a validated method appropriate to the specific product.
Recognition required Filled
- Induces active immunity by antigen exposure
- Live, inactivated, subunit, vector, nucleic acid
