Types of Vaccine

Live-attenuated vaccines
•Live vaccines 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.
•Just one or two doses of most live vaccines can give you a lifetime of protection against a germ and the disease it causes.
•The limitation of this approach is that these vaccines usually cannot be given to people with weakened immune systems
•Live vaccines are used against: Measles, mumps, rubella (MMR combined vaccine), Rotavirus, Smallpox among others.
