Umm... no.
The purpose of a vaccine is to introduce something
similar to the disease organism that cannot itself give you the disease, but will cause your body to generate antibodies that will work on the disease organism and prevent you developing the disease if you come across the disease organism later.
But perhaps this is a discussion for another place.
