  Hi 964cesf27,
  
  This an interesting question, I’m not sure that I quite understand it but I’ll try to answer what I take to be your question. Please do ask again if I didn’t get it!
  
  We give some drugs to young children, called immunisations, to stimulate the immune system into developing cells, called antibodies, into being produced that can combat disease in the future. When you have an immunisation you do contract a mild form of the disease, and this is what allows your body to fight it in a controlled way. Your body then keeps a library of antibodies for future encounters with those diseases.
  
  If you meant in terms of penicillin, for infections and the like, then we don’t. These sorts of allergies are typically genetic and so we look at family history to see if anyone else has an allergy and adjust the medication prescribed accordingly.
  
  Hope that helps?
