FAQs
According to the CDC, a vaccine is a preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
There are several types of vaccines: live-attenuated vaccines, which use a weakened form of the germ; Inactivated vaccines, made from a killed version of the germ; subunit, recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines, use only specific parts of the germ; toxoid vaccines, which use a toxin made by the germ; and messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines which instruct cells on how to make a protein that triggers an immune response if infected with the germ. Rite Aid offers a comprehensive list of vaccines for both adults and children, and you can schedule an appointment online in just a few minutes. https://www.hhs.gov/immunization/basics/types/index.html
