Attenuated whole-agent vaccine
Toxoid vaccine
Conjugated vaccine

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction :-

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. It typically contains a weakened or inactivated form of the disease-causing agent, or a piece of it (such as a protein or a sugar), which stimulates the immune system to recognize and fight off the actual disease-causing agent if the person is later exposed to it.
