The six main types of immunizations include:
– Inactivated Vaccines
Inactivated vaccines are specific types of vaccines that kill disease-causing germs. They contain dead strains of a virus or bacteria to trigger an immune response. Inactivated vaccines are used to protect against the flu, rabies, polio, and hepatitis A.
– Live-Attenuated Vaccines
These types of vaccines contain a weakened live version of the disease-causing germ or virus. This helps you build a strong immune response against certain illnesses. Live-attenuated vaccines are used to protect against rotavirus, smallpox, chickenpox, measles, mumps, and rubella.
– Subunit Vaccines
This type of vaccine uses a very specific part of the disease-causing germ to help build strong immunity. Subunit vaccines are used to protect against shingles, Hib, hepatitis B, HPV, whooping cough, meningococcal disease, and pneumococcal disease.
– Toxoid Vaccines
Toxoid vaccines use toxins created by viruses and bacteria to help create immunity to certain parts of the germs that cause disease. They are used to protect against tetanus and diphtheria.
– mRNA Vaccines
These types of vaccines trigger an immune response by producing special antibodies. mRNA vaccines are used to protect against coronavirus, influenza, rabies, cytomegalovirus, and Zika virus.
– Viral Vector Vaccines
This type of vaccine modifies the original virus and uses a vector to protect against the actual virus. Viral vector vaccines are used to protect against measles, adenovirus, influenza, and vesicular stomatitis virus.
The immunizations offered at Fast Aid Urgent Care:
– Tuberculosis
– Tetanus
– Flu Shots
Vaccination is the term used to describe receiving a vaccine whereas immunization refers to the actual process of building immunity through becoming vaccinated. Though slightly different in their meanings, these terms are often used interchangeably. If the term immunization is being used, this means receiving a vaccine to protect you against certain diseases by triggering an immune response.
