Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vaccines are typically produced using either live attenuated or inactivated microorganisms, or by using a recombinant vaccine technology that involves genetically modifying a microorganism to produce the desired antigen. These microorganisms are often grown in animal cells or on culture media in a laboratory setting. While vaccines may contain some plant-derived components, they are not primarily produced using natural plant extracts.
