Vaccinations for viral immunity can be made two ways, one using inert ("dead") virus particles to trigger the immune response and another using "live" but weakened (attenuated) viruses that can not make you sick if you are otherwise healthy.
The live vaccines work well, especially for younger people who have had little exposure to the ordinary viruses around us all the time. Without that, it can sometimes take more of a "jolt" of the infectious agent to cause their bodies to respond by making antibodies. Once the antibodies are made, it is easier for the immune system to create them if the same type of virus comes along again. When the antibodies can be produced quicker it can attack the invading virus before it can even make us sick.
The live viruses give more of a boost to start the immune response in young healthy people. They are usually created in a nasal spray delivery system for people age 2 to 49. The immuno-compromised, pregnant women, and children under 2 should not take the "live" viruses.
The live vaccine should not be taken until 48 hours after antiviral drugs have been stopped. And antiviral agents should not be administered until 2 weeks after, unless medically necessary.
For the nasal spray vaccine, the most common side effects include runny nose or nasal congestion for all ages, sore throats in adults, and fever in children 2 to 6 years old.

What are cell culture based vaccines?
cell culture vaccines are vaccines produced from cells that are cultured and grown under controlled conditions.
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.
Is a vaccine injected to the skin?
No, vaccines are not injected into the skin. Most vaccines are administered through injection into the muscle or subcutaneous tissue (under the skin). Some vaccines are also given orally or nasally.
Did Marie curie make vaccines?
she did not
What are some uses for bacteria?
Vaccines
How many types of vaccinations are there?
There are many different types of vaccines. Live vaccines include live cultures or strains. Also included in the list of different vaccines is DNA and Toxoid.
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)
Is the immunization hpv an attenuated vaccine?
All HPV vaccines are recombinant. They are not live vaccines.
What vaccines do donkeys need?
All equids (and tapirs) require the same vaccines but these will vary according to where they live.
Can you Explain the live virus in vaccines?
Vaccines are small amounts of live viruses injected into the body. These viruses teach the body's immune system how to fight off the disease. Correction: Some viruses are live. Some are weakened, most flu vaccines are dead viruses, not live, although the nasal mist is a live, weakened virus. Please make sure your answers are correct.
What type of vaccine falls into the innate immunity?
Most live attenuated vaccines (influenza vaccines in humans, infectious bronchitis and Newcastle disease vaccines in chickens are types that activate innate immunity responses.
What is a vaccine that contains live weakened pathogens?
They are called live attenuated vaccines. Attenuated means weakened. The nasal mist flu vaccine is an example of a live attenuated vaccine. The vaccines for flu that are injected are made from pieces of viruses or "dead" viruses. See the related question below for more information on these two types of vaccines.
What is the difference between live vaccine and dead vaccine?
Vaccines are usually small amount of the disease you are trying to prevent. Introducing small amounts of the virus or bacteria, whether it is live or inactive, stimulate your immune system to strengthen its defenses against that germ.
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.
Can you vaccinate live and dead vaccine for different diseases at the same time?
Yes, you can get live and dead vaccines at the same time. The only limitation is getting dead vaccines within a short period of time after the day you got live vaccine.
What are substances made from dead viruses?
Vaccines for the prevention of the specific viral infection can be made with inactive "dead" viruses. They are also made with live, but attenuated (weakened), viruses. See more below about vaccines.
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.
