Lead:

side effects of vaccines are remarkably safe

Maybe can be more neutral. For example "generally safe for majority of people"

I think "rare and non rare side effect documented" should be the challenge of vaccine as well.

Overview of Vaccines:

A vaccine is a biological substance that may be used to safely produce an immune response that protects against infection and/or sickness when exposed to a pathogen in the future. Most vaccines require one or more protein antigens to elicit immune responses that give protection.

Can be put in the beginning of the paragraph for better flow. Make the paragraph flows from general ---> specific topic.'

Vaccines Induce Antibodies:

There is substantial evidence that diverse forms of functional antibodies play a crucial role in vaccine-induced protection. There is substantial evidence that diverse types of functional antibodies play a key role in vaccine-induced protection, and this evidence comes from three primary sources: immunodeficiency states, passive protection studies, and immunological data.

Repeating sentences, can be more concise.

Passive Protection:

A bit confusing seems contradictory. Can pregnant woman transmit to fetus? Are all vaccine cannot be passed from mother to child passively? Or restricted to group B and syncytial virus only?

Feature of Vaccine Protection:

Some vaccines, in addition to preventing disease, may also protect against asymptomatic infection or colonization, reducing pathogen acquisition and thus its onward transmission and, as a result, establishing herd immunity. Vaccines are created to protect against clinical manifestations of infection. They may also help to prevent asymptomatic infection or colonization.

Immune Memory:

immune memory is sufficient for protection against pathogens.

Maybe should be backed by data, prevent one sided claim.
