You probably are thinking tetanus, measles, and chickenpox when you read the title of this article, but that’s not what this is about. The type of vaccine is the design of vaccines used to inoculate against microbes and/or diseases. Note I did not say immunize, which would be a misnomer I think. More than immunization is transpiring in infants, toddlers, and teens than parents apparently bargain for.
Adverse events either are increasing overwhelmingly or are being reported more efficiently, as the VAERS reporting system suggests. Could that be the reason why the American Psychiatric Association, which is scheduled to release its officially updated guidelines in May 2013, is revising the Autism Spectrum Disorder?
The type of vaccine refers to how a vaccine infects cells and the immune system responds to it. [2] There are seven types:
- Live, attenuated vaccines
- Inactivated vaccines
- Subunit vaccines
- Toxoid vaccines
- Conjugate vaccines
- DNA vaccines
- Recombinant vector vaccines
