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 consists of pathogens that have been weakened?
Live vaccines contains weakened viruses of the disease. These viruses can not cause the disease but give immunity to the recipient. ( In the initial days of such trials, 18 patient got the rabies due to vaccine and died.)
What injection Contains weakened bacteria?
The injection that contains weakened bacteria is called a live attenuated vaccine. This type of vaccine is created by modifying the bacteria so that it is weakened or unable to cause disease, but still capable of stimulating an immune response. Live attenuated vaccines are used to prevent diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox.
Is the tuberculosis vaccine a live vaccine?
TB vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine (LAV). This type of vaccine prepared from living micro-organisms (viruses, bacteria currently available) that have been weakened under laboratory conditions.LAV vaccines will replicate in a vaccinated individual and produce an immune response but usually cause a mild or no disease.
Is the injected vaccine for swine flu live?
No, in the US the injection forms of the vaccines are made from inactivated "dead" virus. The nasal spray vaccine contains weakened virus that can not make you get the flu but is called a Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV). There is a new form of injected vaccine for the flu in the 2011-2012 flu season in the US that is intradermal instead of the intramuscular route, it also contains inactivated virus particles. See the related question below.
What is injection of weakened viruses is called?
A vaccination using a vaccine made from attenuated live viruses.
Which vaccine type is not given usually to people whose immune system is compromised?
I would assume that live and weakened vaccine would not be given to such people.
What is injected in a vaccination?
A weakened form of the virus and if you do not know what a vaccine is it's something that stimulates your cells to stop that virus or disease in the future
What is attenuated flu vaccine?
Attenuated simply means "weakened". An attenuated flu vaccine refers to vaccines made with live viruses (so you get a good immune response), but they have been weakened chemically so that they are unable to give you the flu. There are two types of flu vaccines available in the US. What is called inactivated, inactive or "dead" vaccine and what is called "live", weakened/attenuated vaccine. The injectable vaccines (intradermal and intramuscular) are made with "dead" viruses and the nasal spray is made with "live" attenuated viruses.
What is used to make the measles vaccine-?
The active ingredient is the live, attenuated (weakened) measles virus.
What is a vaccine made with live weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu?
In the US, that would be the vaccine used in the H1N1/09 nasal spray vaccinations. These weakened viruses used to make that nasal vaccine are called attenuated, which means weakened. The weakening is usually done with chemicals. People aged 2 to 49 can use this nasal spray vaccine. Those younger or older should use the flu shots which are made with inactivated ("dead") viruses.
Which vaccine contains weakened?
They are called attenuated vaccines. Attenuated means weakened, they do this usually with chemicals and then the attenuated viruses are not able to make you sick, but they are strong enough to trigger the immune response to provide immunity.An attenuated virus. Attenuated simply means weakened. For example, you will see references to this in regard to the flu vaccines. This is also abbreviated when talking about the flu vaccines as LAIV, Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine.That is a good description of what a vaccine is, although some other substances also could be described similarly. The weakened or killed virus in a vaccine is non-threatening to most people. It can be a problem for infants under six months old, some children and adults with under-developed immune systems or who have immune system disorders.
What are atypical pathogens?
pathogens live inside the live cells
