Talk:Vaccine

message: I want to modify the following sentence:
"A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins." 
I have three changes to this sentence:
1. change the word "an agent" to "a substance".
2. add phrase "or its components" after the word "microorganism"
3. include polysaccharide vaccines. 
So the new sentence will read as 
"A vaccine typically contains a substance that resembles a disease-causing microorganism or its components and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, one or more of its surface proteins or polysaccharides"
See this web page for importance of polysaccharide vaccines.

message: Can the following (naturally without the nowiki formatting) be added to the top of the History section on this article?

It would look like this:
I think this would be useful to tie-in the Vaccine#History section into these related section in other pertinent articles, especially since we don't have a standalone article about the "History of Vaccines" nor "History of Vaccination". -- 97.124.47.226 (talk) 00:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

message: Add the citation below to this section:
Interactions
When two or more vaccines are mixed in the same formulation, the two vaccines can interfere. This most frequently occurs with live attenuated vaccines, where one of the vaccine components is more robust than the others and suppresses the growth and immune response to the other components.
