Live-attenuated vaccines differ from traditional inactivated vaccineswhere the pathogen is “killed”, and as the name suggests the pathogen (typically a virus) remains active in live vaccines, however, is attenuated or modified in a way that the pathogen is not able to cause disease itself but can produce a robust immune response. Typically, live va...
The most common live-attenuated vaccines include: 1. Live-attenuated Influenza (flu) vaccines (LAIV) 2. Measles, Mumps & Rubella (MMR) 3. Polio – nearing global eradication due to mass vaccination 4.

Influenza causes worldwide seasonal epidemics each year (see influenza). To combat influenza, a variety of different vaccines are available to use including inactivated vaccines and live-attenuated. The LAIV can provide up to 90% protection in adults under 65 years of age, and up to 40% of adults over 65 (though inactivated vaccines are preferred f...
The MMR vaccine offers a high level of protection (over 90% effective overall) against mumps, measles and rubella and is usually given as part of a 2-dose regimen in toddlers. Due to the MMR vaccine, the levels of mumps, measles and rubella infections and fatalities are incredibly low, though cases have increased in unvaccinated populations. The MM...
Whilst live-attenuated vaccines lead to strong, robust and long-term immunity to viruses (and some bacteria) in most healthy individuals, there may be cases where such vaccines may not be appropriate. Specifically, individuals with compromised immune systems – either due to chemotherapy, HIV infection, or primary disorders of immunodeficiency shoul...
