Question

• B. Antigen
• C. Antibiotics
• D. None of the above
  

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Antigen

Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). Two types are used - an inactivated poliovirus (antigen) given by injection and a weakened poliovirus (antigen) given by mouth. The inactivated polio vaccines are very safe. Mild redness or pain may occur at the site of injection. Oral polio vaccines cause vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis.

So, the correct answer is 'Antigen'.
