Two major vaccination strategies are used to protect against poliomyelitis: inactivated vaccine (injection in an arm or leg) and attenuated vaccine (oral administration). Based on the site of administration, which vaccine do you think would elicit a stronger protective antibody response in the mucosa? Both would elicit similar levels of mucosal immunity. oral attenuated vaccine inactivated vaccine Neither would elicit mucosal immunity.

There are two types of polio vaccine: one is oral polio vaccine (OPV), the other is inactivated polio vaccine (IPV). OPV is an attenuated vaccine, whereas IPV consists of inactivated polio virus strains. Unfortunately, there are cases of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) that are linked to unsuccessful vaccination against polio with one of these vaccines. Please explain which of the two vaccines is responsible for VAPP and offer two suggestions that could prevent VAPP.

Select the answers to the following questions: One problem with vaccines that contain killed pathogens is that. Attenuated vaccines typically cause a stronger immune response because. A toxoid, which contains denatured toxin from a pathogen, would best be described as an example of. they cannot be given to immunocompromised people. they are given to people with a weakened immune system. Subunit vaccine. Recombinant vaccine. the pathogens used in these vaccines are extremely virulent. they may not stimulate a strong response. Killed vaccine. they are given to people who have a very strong immune system. the pathogen can still multiply in the host. large numbers of pathogens are used in them. Attenuated vaccine. the pathogen may reactivate and cause disease. they may stimulate an excessive immune response. Inactivated vaccine. they can only be given to immunocompromised people.
