Which vaccine is produced by using only a part of the viral genome?
Inactivated vaccines, also known as "dead" or "inert".
Definition of the conventional vaccines?
Conventional vaccines consist of whole pathogenic organisms, which may either be killed or live vaccines; the virulence of pathogens is greatly reduced in attenuated vaccines. This is classified into 2 categories :a)Live or attenuated vaccines; (eg : BCG vaccine)b)Inactivated vaccines (eg : Salk polio & Pertussisvaccines)
Can vaccinations carry risks of developing an infectious disease?
Live vaccines carry a small risk of developing an infectious disease. Inactivated vaccines cannot cause the infectious disease they're meant to prevent.
Is it true that 'possibility of reversion to virulence is of concern in live attenuated virus?
Yes, but not the case in inactivated, purified molecular, or synthetic peptide vaccines.
How may poliomyelitis be prevented?
prevention consists of vaccination. There are two polio vaccines available; inactivated (Salk) poliovirus vaccine, and oral poliovirus vaccine.
What is a killed virus vaccines?
Cholera Vaccine. Flu vaccines formulated for injection use inert/inactive virus particles ("dead"), while flu vaccines for nasal mist are made as a LAIV (live attenuated influenza vaccine), which means they are "alive" but weakened chemically to prevent them from being able to cause illness.
How many injections are given to administer the vaccines?
It depends on which vaccine you are receiving.
What are the good uses of bad viruses?
Using them as a vector to transport inactivated viruses into the body. The body will then bind with the receptors on the vector virus and it will activate the defense needed to protect against it. Hence vaccines.

You were in the Navy and got a lot of vaccines will your baby inherit these changes to your DNA immunities?
Vaccines can only protect an individual. They cannot be inherited from one generation to the next.
