Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sabin polio vaccine is an attenuated virus vaccine, which means that the virus used in the vaccine is weakened so that it does not cause disease but can still stimulate an immune response. This vaccine is used to control the spread of wild-type polio. Subunit vaccines use only specific parts of the virus or bacteria, while acellular vaccines use purified fragments of the pathogen. Killed virus vaccines use dead viruses or bacteria to stimulate an immune response, and conjugate vaccines use a part of the pathogen linked to a protein to stimulate an immune response.
