Human Preventive & Therapeutic Vaccines


A person who is free of the targeted infection receives a preventative vaccine. The immune system responds by producing antibodies when a virus or an inactive virus (which serves as a decoy) is introduced into the body. Numerous diseases, including polio, chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella, influenza (flu), and hepatitis A and B, are prevented by preventive vaccines. There are "therapeutic vaccines" in addition to preventive vaccines. For persistent viral infections, therapeutic vaccines are currently being developed:




  • Papillomavirus human (HPV)


  • HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) (HIV)


  • Haepatitis B (HBV)


  • Virus infections (HCV)
