Types of Vaccines and How They Work

Vaccines are essential for preventing infectious diseases. There are several types of vaccines, each with a specific mechanism of action:

1. mRNA Vaccines: Use a small portion of the virus’s genetic code (messenger RNA) to instruct the body’s cells to produce a protein that triggers an immune response. Example: COVID-19 vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna.
2. Live Attenuated Vaccines: Contain a weakened form of the virus that does not cause disease in healthy people but does provoke an immune response. Example: Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine.
3. Inactivated Vaccines: Contain the dead (inactivated) virus, meaning it cannot cause the disease but can still trigger an immune response. Example: Hepatitis A vaccine.
4. Subunit, Recombinant, and Conjugate Vaccines: Use specific parts of the virus, such as proteins, to provoke an immune response without using the whole virus. Example: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
5. Toxoid Vaccines: Contain toxins produced by the virus or bacteria that have been inactivated, teaching the immune system to combat the toxin, not the germ itself. Example: Tetanus vaccine.
