What vaccines are protists used for?

Protists are not commonly used in the development of vaccines. Vaccines are typically made using viruses, bacteria, or parts of these organisms to stimulate the immune system to produce an immune response. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms, but their use in vaccines is limited.


Why do you need vaccines?

We need vaccines to protect us from infectious diseases and to trigger the immune system to respond with production of antibodies made for that specific pathogen. See the related questions for more details of how this works.

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.


Does a vaccine contain dead diseases?

Yes, the kind given by injection are considered "dead", because they are in an inactive state, they don't make you sick. Other vaccines can be made with live "attenuated" viruses, meaning they are active but only partially, since they have been treated to be too weak to cause disease in people who have otherwise healthy immune systems.
