Q
  • “weakened”
  • Very effective, provides lifelong protection in 1 or 2 shots.
  • Can’t give to weak immune system (like children with HIV infection)
    Vaccine:
  • Bacteria: Tuberculosis (BCG)
  • Virus: Oral Polio Vax., measles, Rotavirus, Yellow fever
    Ex.:
  • MMR vaccine (measles, mumps & rubella)
  • Anti-Measles Vaccine / Measles Containing Vaccine
  • Rotavirus
  • Smallpox
