what is it?
★ A PHARMACEUTICAL you need
to avoid serious illinesses
★ Prepared using
the same microbes rendered harmless

● because KILLED
● because REDUCED
● because NOT COMPLETE
 WHAT IS A VACCINE USED FOR

Our body in contact with the vaccine learns to produce specific defenses

IMMUNITARY DEFENSE

whether in the future it will

encounter the microbe

NO
ILLINES
 HOW THEY ARE ADMINISTERED 

● PERCUTANEOUS smallpox vaccine
● INTRADERMAL cholera-rabies vaccine
● SUBCUTANEOUS measles-mumps-rubella vaccines
● INTRAMUSCULAR DTP
● ORAL anti-polio by Sabin
● INHALATION experimental stage
 HOW THEY ARE ADMINISTERED 

★ INDIVIDUALLY

★ COMBINED 

used in the same preparation of several vaccines


Our Immune System is able to recognize and act
simultaneously on multiple antigens

Trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps, rubella.

Trivalent vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis.

 THE IDEAL VACCINE:

● EASY TO PRDUCE
● EASY TI ADMINISTER

EFFECTIVNESS
● PROTECTIVE IMMUNITY
● DURATION OF IMMUNITY

SAFETY
● ABSENCE OF SYMPTOMS
● ABSENCE OF ADVERSE REACTION
