Q

Killed/Inactivated Vaccines
Strategy: pathogen causing a disease is isolated, grown in pure culture, killed or inactivated by physical or chemical means, then injected to induce an immune response against that pathogen.
Examples:
Pertussis (old whole cell vaccine)
Rabies
Hepatitis A
i.m. poliovirus (a.k.a IPV)
influenza
plague
cholera
paratyphoid fever

Q

Why Can’t we use Killed/Inactivated Vaccines Against all Pathogens?

A

Dead pathogens are not processed by the immune system like the living pathogen
Immune responses that develop may not be protective – dead pathogens usually elicit different types of responses than live ones…
