You would think that all that would be required are some dead viruses/bacteria in some water. In that case, all that you would have to do is heat up the pathogens until they all die and then place them in some water and inject that. However, many years of research are required for many of these vaccines. Also, they are not all given in the same way.

For example, while the tetanus vaccine is injected, the smallpox vaccine is just a few scratches on the skin or a contraction of cowpox. Also, the swine flu vaccine can be injected with dead viruses or inhaled through the nose with weakened viruses. Polio vaccines are also inhaled through the nose, and little to no booster shots are required. AIDS, on the other hand, has no vaccine yet because the virus constantly mutates.

Why do vaccines take so long to make, why are there so many different methods to give each one, and how come the length of immunity varies before a booster is required?

hello, i have to do a question and it says:
jenner scratc the skin of a young boy.
he then rubbed in pus from a person suffering from cowpox
the boy caught cowpox but soon recovered and he was immune to the disease.
then he inoculated the boy with pus from a smallpox victim.
the boy did not catch the deadly smallpox.\the boy had become immune to smallpox because the virus had similar antigens to the cowpox virus.

then the question asks:\
1) he tasted his idea on a child, which part of his experiment was ethically doutful?why?

i cant resolve it,
please help thank tou

1) what is a tri valent vaccine
2)what is the shape of the newcastle virus
3)how does cowpox virus impart immunity against the small pox virus
4)how many nanometers are in 300 millimicrometers
5) what is the coat of the leukemia virus made out of
6) what is the core of cancer viruses made out of

Can the cowpox virus serve as a vaccine against HIV? I’m just curius because I was doing an AP bio homework that was about getting an article on HIV and this question just popped up in my mind. I remember reading a little about it in Biology Honors, 2 years ago, but I forgot. Anyone knows?

Before the 1800s, smallpox was a disease that killed thousands of people each year. A person who survived smallpox developed lifetime immunity. For this reason, it was a common practice for people to deliberately expose their children to someone with a mild case. It was often a deadly practice. Edward Jenner was a doctor who formed a hypothesis about smallpox: a person infected with cowpox, a harmless disease related to smallpox, developed permanent immunity to smallpox. In 1796, Jenner infected an 8-year-old boy with cowpox. Two months later, Jenner tried to infect the boy with smallpox by exposing him to the virus. The boy, James Phipps, was immune. He had received the first vaccination ever given. Which statement best describes Jenner’s justification for placing a young boy’s life at risk?

which title is the best?
cows cure smallpox
vaccination innovation
the simple solution: cowpox
the answer is cowpox

thanks
this is for our history fair project on smallpox

Ps. our life really does depend on this but you wouldnt know bcause you havent met our teacher before

By observing that farm workers who had cowpox were resistant to smallpox led Jenner to develope an inoculation for smallpox in the 1790s

(question continued) high specificity that characterizes immune responses. What conclusion can you draw about the cowpox virus in relation to the smallpox virus?
URGENT PLZ HELP NOW!!

People in my class tease and ridicule me because I’m a vegetarian. They say that they’ll catch cowpox if they’re around me (because it has something to do with animals), and they say that I’d rather murder humans than cows. What do I do?
