Answer:

It neutralizes the virus

Explanation:

When a vertebrate is infected with a virus, antibodies are produced against many epitopes on multiple virus proteins. A subset of these antibodies can block virus infection by a process that is called neutralization.

Antibodies can neutralize viral infectivity in a number of ways, as summarized in the illustration. They may interfere with virion binding to receptors, block uptake into cells, prevent uncoating of the genomes in endosomes, or cause aggregation of virus particles. Many enveloped viruses are lysed when antiviral antibodies and serum complement disrupt membranes.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

By my reckoning, as a professional in healthcare, I'd answer your question that way:

Explanation:

All health professionals have a duty to provide this type of service, giving emphasis on preventive medicine since prevention will always be better than cure - better safe than sorry - but of course, it's clear that family doctors have much more opportunities to provide these kinds of service than those who have specialized areas.
