Question

  1. given that antivenom injections consist of preformed antibodies, which of the following do polio drops consist? a inactivated virus b activated pathogens c attenuated pathogens d gamma globulin

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Polio drops are a type of oral vaccine. Oral polio vaccine (OPV) contains attenuated (weakened) poliovirus strains. Attenuated pathogens are used in vaccines as they can stimulate an immune response without causing severe disease. Inactivated virus is used in in - activated polio vaccine (IPV) which is injected. Activated pathogens would cause disease. Gamma globulin is a type of antibody (like in antivenom) but polio drops are not antibody - based in the way antivenom is.

Answer:

C. Attenuated pathogens
