2.  There are several different types of vaccines.
 Each type is designed to teach your immune
system how to fight off certain kinds of
germs- and the serious disease they cause

3. There are several types of vaccine
including
 Inactivated vaccine
 Live attenuated vaccines
 Messenger RNA(mRNA) vaccines
 Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide and conjugate
vaccine
 Toxoid vaccine
 Viral vector vaccine

4. Inactivated vaccine
 These vaccines use the killed version of the germ that
causes the disease
 These vaccines usually don’t provide
immunity(protection) that’s as strong as live vaccines.
So may need several doses over time(booster shots) in
order to get ongoing immunity against disease
 Inactivated vaccine are used to protect against:
I. Hepatitis A
II. Flu(shot only)
III. Polio
IV. Rabies

5. Live attenuated vaccines
 These vaccine use a weakened (or attenuated) form of the
germ that causes a disease.
 Because these vaccines are so similar to the natural
infection that they help prevent. They create a strong and
long lasting immune response
 Live vaccines are used to protect against:
I. Measles, mumps, rubella(MMR COMBINED VACCINE)
II. Rotavirus
III. Smallpox
IV. Chickenpox
V. Yellow fever

6. mRNA vaccines
 mRNA vaccines makes protien in order to trigger an
immune response
 Shorter manufacturing times and bcz they do not
contain live virus, no risk of causing disease in the
person getting vaccinated.
 mRNA vaccine are used to protect against:
I. COVID 19

7. Subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide and
conjugate vaccine
 These vaccines use specific pieces of the germ- like sugar,
protein or caspid, they give a very strong immune response
that’s targeted to key part of the germ.
 Need booster shots
 These vaccines are used to protect agianst:
I. Hib(Haemophilus influenza tybe b disease
II. Hepatitis B
III. HPV(Human papillomavirus)
IV. Whooping cough
V. Pneumococcal disease
VI. Meningococcal disease
VII. Shingles

8. Toxiod vaccine
 These vaccine uses a toxin(harmful product) made by a
germ that causes a disease.
 They create immunity to the parts of the germ that
causes a disease instead of the germ itself. That means
the immune response is targeted to the toxin instead
of the whole germ
 Needs booster shots
 These vaccines are used to protect against:
I. Diphteria
II. tetanus

9. Viral vector vaccines
 Viral vector vaccine use a modified version of a
different virus as a vector to deliver protection.
 Several different viruses have been used as vectors,
including influenza, vesicular stomatitis virus, measles
virus and adenovirus which causes the common cold
 Viral vector vaccines are used to protect against:
I. Covid 19
