 Live Versus Inactivated Vaccines
What is the difference between live
vaccines and inactivated vaccines?
Live Vaccines:
Contain a version of a living microbe that has been
weakened in the lab
Can cause disease or adverse reactions
Cannot be given to people who have damaged or
weakened immune systems
Must be refrigerated to stay active
Are effective with one dose
Examples: MMR Vaccine, Rotavirus Vaccine, Oral Polio
Vaccine (not used in the USA), Influenza Vaccine (nasal
spray) FluMist, Varicella (chickenpox) Vaccine
Inactivated Vaccines:
Produced by killing the disease-causing microbe with
chemicals, heat, or radiation
Can be easily stored and shipped
Stimulate a weaker immune response than live
vaccines, requiring additional doses or booster shots
to maintain immunity
Examples: Hepatitis A Vaccine, DTAP Vaccine, HPV
Vaccine, HIB Vaccine, Influenza Vaccine, Meningococcal
Vaccine, Pneumococcal Vaccine, Polio Vaccine
Adjuvants Versus Preservatives
What is an adjuvant?
An adjuvant is an ingredient in a vaccine that is designed
to help create a stronger immune response in the patients
body. For example, some vaccinations include aluminum gels
or salts that are added as adjuvants.
What is a preservative?
A preservative is added to some vaccine formulations to
prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi or other contaminants.
The most common preservative is thimerosal, which
contains mercury.
Live vaccines have a risk of shedding. This refers to the
spread of a virus (e.g., measles) from one person who has
been immunized with a live vaccine (e.g., the MMR vaccine)
to another person through contact with bodily fluids (saliva,
blood, urine, stool, breastmilk, etc.). Cases of parents
contracting viruses from changing their immunized childrens
diapers have been known to occur. The risk of shedding
which can last for days, weeks or months depending on the
vaccine and the individual -- is greatest to those with
compromised immune systems.
