Question

what is the reason for using weakened or dead pathogens and not live pathogens in immunizations? a it will not get the patient sick. b it will cause passive immunity. c it will result in temporary protection.

Explanation:

Live pathogens can cause the actual disease in the patient. Weakened or dead pathogens can stimulate the immune - system to produce an immune response without causing the full - blown illness. Passive immunity is not the main reason for using them, and they usually aim for long - term protection rather than just temporary.

Answer:

A. It will not get the patient sick.
