Live Attenuated Vaccines and Inactivated Vaccines
Inactivated Vaccines

Inactivated vaccines are composed of dead, or inactivated, viruses and bacteria
Live Attenuated Vaccines

Live vaccines use a weakened form of the germ that causes a disease
Way to create
The first way is to use a nonpathogenic virus related to the real pathogen
The second method is a step more complex, involving physicians weakening the virus in a laboratory, purifying the vaccination solution, and administering the vaccine orally or by injection
Protect against

are produced in two ways.
Pros and Cons

Create a stronger immunity to disease than inactivated vaccines
provide better protection against illnesses
Cons
Quite potent
lead to a lower level of safety
perishable live-virus vaccines
Pros and Cons
Pros
Inactivated vaccines are considered safer because the dead viruses cannot mutate
can be reconstituted and easily stored
Cons
Inactivated vaccines deliver a much weaker immune system response
protect against
Inactivated vaccines include those against hepatitis A and rabies
Way to create
Inactivated vaccines are not produced with a living virus
