Q

Salk vs Sabin vaccine

A

Salk
* inactivated/killed
* Injection
* Used in UK
• Mechanism: Contains killed poliovirus, which cannot replicate in the body. This vaccine stimulates an immune response by creating antibodies in the blood, which protect against polio but don’t stop the virus from entering the intestines.

Sabin
* live/attenuated
* Orally
• Mechanism: Contains a weakened form of the poliovirus that replicates in the intestines, providing immunity in the gut as well as in the bloodstream. This gut immunity helps prevent person-to-person spread of the virus.
