    The document discusses different types of vaccines including those that use weakened or inactivated forms of pathogens, as well as those that use parts of pathogens like proteins or genetic material. Weakened vaccines allow pathogens to reproduce poorly, while inactivated vaccines completely kill pathogens with chemicals. Other vaccines can use parts of pathogens, toxins that have been inactivated, vector viruses containing genes from pathogens, mRNA containing genetic codes for proteins, or DNA containing the genetic codes themselves.

    Viruses are weakened so they reproduce poorly inside the body. Viruses are completely inactivated (killed) with a chemical.
