What’s the difference between Live and Inactivated vaccines in terms of duration of action , schedule etc?
Live attenuated vaccines usually produce a durable
immunity, but not always as long-lasting as that resulting
from natural infection.
Inactivated vaccines may require a primary series of
injections of vaccine to produce an adequate antibody
response, and in most cases booster injections
are required; the duration of immunity varies from months
to many years.
Some inactivated vaccines are adsorbed onto an adjuvant such as _______ to ________?
Aluminium hydroxide to enhance the antibody response
