This type of vaccine utilizes a harmful product made by a pathogen that causes a disease, thus creating immunity to the product of the pathogen that causes a disease instead of to the pathogen itself. An example of this type of vaccination is: - MMR combined vaccine - Shingrix® for Shingles (Herpes Zoster) - Polio vaccine injection (IPV) - DTaP (Diphtheria, tetanus & pertussis) - Oral polio vaccine (OPV)

Step 1
This type of vaccine works by introducing a small, harmless amount of a product made by the pathogen into the body, triggering the immune system to create antibodies against that specific product. Show more…

1. These vaccines contain a version of the live virus or bacteria that has been weakened so that it does not cause serious disease in people with healthy immune systems. - live, attenuated vaccine - subunit vaccine - conjugate vaccines - inactivated vaccine 2. These types of vaccines target bacteria with polysaccharide coatings and are effective for these types of bacteria because they connect the polysaccharides to antigens that the immune system responds to very well. - conjugate vaccine - subunit vaccine - inactivated vaccine 3. Some researchers are working on developing a vaccine for COVID-19 that would put virus-like particles, such as empty virus shells that mimic the virus structure, into the human body. These are an example of what type of vaccine? - nucleic acid vaccines - virus vaccines - viral vector vaccines - protein-based vaccines - toxoid vaccine 4. Some researchers are working on developing a vaccine for COVID-19 that would use genetic instructions (in the form of DNA or RNA) for a coronavirus protein that prompts an immune response. These are an example of what type of vaccine? - protein-based vaccine - viral-vector vaccine - nucleic acid vaccine - virus vaccine
