Answer:

inactivated

Step-by-step explanation:

the vaccine cannot be fully dead otherwise the vaccine wouldn't work. the vaccine cannot be alive because that would give us the disease and we are trying to prevent it. therefore, the vaccine is inactivated

Answer:

Oral poliovirus vaccine or Sabin vaccine, named for its inventor American physician and microbiologist Albert Sabin, was developed. OPV contains live attenuated (weakened) virus and is given orally.
