Deivayanai. V.C , Rajalakshmi Engineering College Many countries across the globe have huge vaccine-producing factories for making vaccine shots. Certain vaccines are being made where influenza viruses are injected into chicken eggs. These eggs produce a high copy of the viruses. Production workers then extract the viruses from the egg, reduce the virulence or kill them […]
Monika R, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore Vaccines save millions of lives every year because they are one of the most effective ways of immunization against many infectious diseases. They have played a great role in the worldwide eradication of smallpox and the control of other infectious diseases such as measles, rubella, tetanus, and polio. […]
