A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms. Toxins produced by microorganism are important virulence determinants responsible for microbial pathogencity and/or evasion the host immune response. This will alter the human physiology when taken so to avoid the bad effect of toxin it is first inactivated and then used as vaccine which is known as toxoid.

Can coke cause liver and bladder problems?
See Internet; 'Sugar, the sweetest poison of all'. Diet soda contains chemicals that are very toxic. Toxins are sent to the liver before being dumped. See 'ascorbic acid toxins'
Does being dehydrated before drinking make you more susceptible to intoxication?
intoxication results in the liver being overloaded with toxins to flush. Dehydration additionally deprives the kidneys of carrier fluid in which to carry those toxins, plus alcohol worsens that state. So arguably, dehydration could worsen the symptoms of intoxication.
Is there any danger for someone taking the drug interferon for melonoma being around a baby who just received an immunization shot?
With influenza vaccinations, if the child had the vaccine given by injection (flu shot) and not by nasal spray, then the vaccine would have been made from inactivated viruses and not from weakened, but still live, viruses. The live virus vaccines are the ones that have potential infection problems for the immunocompromised person.

See questions below for the ingredients of the vaccines.
