### antigen | vaccine:

Acellular vaccine
* are a more purified product containing only specific proteins.
* contain only portions of cellular material.

### antigen | vaccine:

Anthrax vaccine
* are available and have been given to high-risk groups such as textile workers
  - vaccines
* contains no live bacteria and poses no safety risk.
* is available for people in high-risk occupations
  - composed of an uncharacterized mix of bacterial products
  - made from inactivated bacteria
  - one of the causes of illness among veterans of the Persian Gulf War
* key element in protecting service members against the lethal threat.
* sterile product made from filtrates of inactivated bacterial cultures.
* stimulates antibodies that block toxins common to all strains of anthrax bacteria.

Cancer vaccine
* Most cancer vaccines are in their infancy.
* are a relatively new development in cancer treatment
  - different
* can cause muscle aches and fever.
* introduce cancer antigens to the patients who already suffer from cancer.

Commercial vaccine
* Many commercial vaccines are available for general protection of animals.
* are available for the prevention of mycoplasmal pneumonia in pigs.

Conventional vaccine
* approaches induce only an antibody immune response.
* use a dead or modified virus to trigger the immune system.

Current vaccine
* offer limited effectiveness and epizootics are common in farmed fish.
* provide protection.
* use a DT with specific mutations that render it non-enzymatically active.

Edible vaccine
* are also in the works for other deadly diseases like cholera and tuberculosis
  - the latest thing in genetic engineering
* has applications for livestock as well.
* hold great appeal, because food is almost universally preferred to needles.

Effective vaccine
* Most effective vaccines prevent infection
  - produce immunity
* exist to prevent most serious infections.

Efficacious vaccine
* Most efficacious vaccines protect individuals.
* protect individuals if administered before exposure

### antigen | vaccine:

Flu vaccine
* Most flu vaccines provide protection.
* Some flu vaccines have mercury.
* causes the flu.
* contain no live virus, so it's impossible to get the flu from a flu shot
  - the ingredients from three different strains of flu virus
* contains no live virus and only parts of killed viruses.
* do prevent serious illness and death.
* helps prevent other upper respiratory infections.
* is made from dead viruses, so no one can get influenza from a flu vaccination
  - killed influenza viruses
  - very effective when the vaccine viruses and circulating viruses are well matched

Inactivated vaccine
* are safe even in people with impaired immune systems
  - in pregnancy
* contain the whole organism after it has been killed.

Live vaccine
* Some live vaccines cause diseases.
* are usually more potent than inactivated vaccines.
* possess a higher risk of contamination with micro-organisms than other vaccines.
* utilize weakened or dead organisms to stimulate an antibody response from the body.

Measles vaccine
* are available for free in health centers
  - prerequisite for all children around the world, at least once in a lifetime
* reduce likelihood.

Pneumococcal vaccine
* can also cause mild redness or pain where the shot is given.

* is advised for many of the same people as influenza vaccine.

Pneumonia vaccine
