A synthetic vaccine is a vaccine consisting mainly of synthetic peptides, carbohydrates, or antigens. Such vaccines contain no live pathogens, bacterial cultures, or host cell impurities, and eliminate risks including reversion to virulence of attenuated strains, incomplete inactivation, and contamination of culture systems; they are therefore widely recognized as exhibiting significantly superior safety compared with conventional bacterially cultured vaccines. Creating vaccines synthetically has the ability to increase the speed of production. This is especially important in the event of a pandemic.
