Microbial and Immunological Vaccination

Microbial Vaccination

Microbial vaccines are designed to mimic the presence of a pathogen (bacteria, virus, or parasite) in a way that prompts an immune response without causing illness. These vaccines contain antigens (specific parts or products of the pathogen) that trigger the immune system's recognition and response.

·        Types of Microbial Vaccines:

Inactivated (Killed) Vaccines

Live Attenuated Vaccines

Subunit, Recombinant, or Conjugate Vaccines

Toxoid Vaccines
