Inactivated vaccines
Way of create
Inactivated vaccines are not produced with a living virus
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

Live attenuated vaccines
Way to create
Use a non-pathogenic virus
related to the real pathogen
Physicians weakening the virus in a laboratory, purifying the vaccination solution, and administering the vaccine orally or by injection
Pros and cons

Cons
Perishable live-virus vaccines
Lead to a lower level of safety
Definition
Live vaccines use a weakened form of the germ that causes
