Therapeutic Vaccines

Therapeutic Vaccines

Therapeutic vaccines are designed to combat infections or diseases after they have taken hold in the body. These vaccines function by stimulating a patient's immune response to effectively fight the existing infectious ailment. It's important to distinguish therapeutic vaccines from prophylactic vaccines: prophylactic vaccines are given to individuals as a preventive measure before any infection or disease occurs, whereas therapeutic vaccines are administered after an individual has already contracted the disease or infection. Therapeutic vaccines harness the immune system's potential to aid in recovery and mitigation of ongoing health issues, offering a complementary approach to managing illnesses beyond the realm of preventive strategies.
