Attenuated Vaccine Notes:
An attenuated immunization is an antibody made by decreasing the destructiveness of a pathogen, yet at the same time keeping it live or viable. This procedure requires the alteration of infectious agent to make it less virulent/destructive. These vaccines are contrasted with those vaccines that are produced by killing the virus (inactivated immunization).
