Chaitali Dhale*, Suhas Joshi.

ABSTRACT

A vaccine is a biological preparation that helps protect the body against a particular disease. Vaccines are intended to prime the body so that it will recognize a harmful virus or a bacterium. There are several different types of vaccines. Each type has been developed to combat specific challenges presented by the virus or bacteria it was designed to protect against. There are two types of developed vaccine polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines. Thus this review discusses advantages of conjugate vaccine over polysaccharide vaccine. As vaccine research and development has continued to advance, though, more conjugate vaccines have been developed.

Keywords: Vaccine, Polysaccharide, Conjugate, Toxoids.
