What type of vaccine is MMR?

  • A Killed (inactivated) vaccine preparation
  • B Subunit vaccine using isolated antigen
  • C Live attenuated (weakened) vaccine
  • D Toxoid vaccine made from a toxin

Correct answer: C. Live attenuated (weakened) vaccine

Explanation: MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) is a live attenuated vaccine containing weakened but living viruses. Live vaccines typically produce stronger, longer-lasting immunity as the virus can replicate (but cannot cause disease in healthy people).

Concept context
