02/02/24 Principles of Vaccination: Learning objective: explain concept of vaccination. Learning objective: describe the different types of vaccines and their mechanisms of action. Learning objective: explain the relevance to the individual and the population. Learning objective: describe the key vaccinations for the respiratory system. Types of immunity: Types of vaccine: 1. live attenuated e.g MMR. 2. Inactivated e.g cholera. 3. Subunit. 4. Viral vector. 5. mRNA. Live attenuated or inactivated: A virus is weakened for a vaccine by passing it through an animal or human cells, until it picks up mutations that make it less able to cause disease. In an inactivated vaccine, the virus is rendered uninfectious using chemicals, such as formaldehyde or heat. Viral vector: Use a virus to transfer a virus. This causes an immune response. mRNA: Subunit:
