Talk:Attenuated vaccine

message: This is an attenuated vaccine, correct? I would think mention of this example would be a good inclusion here. I may do it myself if I have time, but if someone more familiar with the subject beats me to it, I won't mind. -- Spireguy (talk) 03:25, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  LAIV flu vaccine (nasal spray) 

message: When was this form of vaccination first invented and put to use?  Is it very old or a new development?  This article needs some mention of history, maybe not a whole section but something. --Cowlinator (talk) 12:06, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

message: No discussion on safety? I would like to find some stats on adverse reactions for live attenuated vaccines, compared to other types of vaccines. Zarkme (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 09:40, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I propose that Live vector vaccine be merged into Attenuated vaccine. I think that the content in the Live vector vaccine article can easily be explained in the context of Attenuated vaccine, and the Attenuated vaccine article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Live vector vaccine will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

replies: text: I'd agree with that. I think it's a sensible merge for now. If they ended up growing later they could be split at a later date. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 04:24, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that they're really attenuated in the sense Attenuated vaccine uses the term, because the pathogen isn't attenuated, it is virtually non-existent (that is, only an antigen from it is present). A better target might be Viral vector#Vaccines, where there is already a section. I suggest that because there don't seem be live non-viral vectors, and the existing Live vector vaccine page discusses only virus vectors. The concept of live here is also questionable, another reason to merge somewhere or another. Klbrain (talk) 07:58, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Hello everyone, we are focusing on this article as a WikiEducation project. We are planning to increase the quality of this article by improving the lead section, adding missing references, updating older information/sources, as well as re-arranging and possibly adding new sections (e.g., History, Vaccine Safety). The sections we are planning to improve are “development” and “administration”, and we also plan to combine the “advantages” and disadvantages” sections into one. Does anyone have any questions, concerns, or ideas they would like to bring up? We would appreciate any help and feedback, and are excited to work with all of you on improving this article!

thread_title:  Some potential future plans 

message: The sentence “ Through natural genetic variability or induced mutation, a small percentage of the viral particles should have the capacity to infect the new host.[9][10]” doesn’t make sense. Genetic mutations/variability are not what is causing the attenuated virus to have the capability of infecting a new host. I hope someone rewrites this sentence, because it prevents a person from understanding what “evolution via serial passage” is. Tusk7900 (talk) 23:13, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
