Overview

Attenuated vaccines are weakened forms of live viruses, used to induce a protective immune response in the human body. This type of vaccine is designed to replicate closely enough to the original virus to stimulate the body’s natural immune response, yet not close enough to cause disease. This form of immunization has become the gold standard for protecting against many viral infections, such as the measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella-zoster viruses. Additionally, attenuated vaccines are safer, longer-lasting, and more effective than other forms of immunization.
