The definitions of two classes are very similar. Need to improve.

preventive vaccine function Def: preventive vaccine function is a vaccine function realized by the process of vaccination and leading to induction of an adaptive immune response to the antigens in a vaccine, which protects against a specific disorder.

Proposed def: A vaccine function realized by the process of vaccination and leading to induction of an adaptive immune response to prevent a specific disorder.

therapeutic vaccine function Def: The therapeutic vaccine function is a function realized by the process of vaccination and leading to induction of an adaptive immune response to the antigens in a vaccine, which ameliorates a specific disorder.

Proposed def: A vaccine function realized the process of vaccination and leading to induction of an adaptive immune response to treat an existing specific disorder.
