Why are flu vaccinations produced from dead virus and not live viruses?
In the US there is a flu vaccination made with live viruses that have been weakened (attenuated) to prevent them from making otherwise healthy people sick. This type of vaccine can be used by those who are healthy and aged 2 - 49. It creates a very good immune response to cause immunity and so it can be administered in an intranasal mist that is inhaled into the nose instead of having to be given in a shot. The vaccines for flu that are made to be injected in a shot are made from "dead" viruses or pieces of dead viruses. So flu vaccinations are produced from both "dead" viruses and live viruses.
Why regular antibodies not be used as effective treatment of viral diseases but effective against bacterial infection?
