Q200.3 marksShort Answers

Answer

Inactivated polio vaccine (Salk), Hepatitis A vaccine (also whole-cell pertussis, rabies vaccine) — contain whole organisms inactivated by heat/chemicals so they cannot replicate but retain antigenicity; generally require multiple doses/boosters since they produce a weaker, shorter-lived immune response than live attenuated vaccines.
