What does the triple antigen vaccine prevent?
There are different kinds of triple antigen vaccines. A triple antigen vaccine is one made with three different antigens (often three virus strains). The seasonal flu vaccines are examples of triple antigen vaccines, because they contain vaccines against the three influenza viruses most prominent and most likely to spread that season. These are also called Triple Valent or Trivalent vaccines. Another example is the MMR trivalent vaccine made to vaccinate against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Several of the childhood vaccinations are this type of trivalent vaccine.
