There are three kinds of approaches for making a vaccine in general. They are Whole Microbe approach, Subunit approach, Genetic approach. The difference in the approaches lie in whether they use a whole virus or bacterium; just the parts of the germ that helps to trigger the immune system; or the genetic approach where it provides the instructions for making specific proteins and not the methods where the weakened/dead virus is used for making a vaccine. From late 19^th century, vaccines are considered as the matter of National prestige and compulsory vaccination laws were passed. Different types of vaccines are Live, Attenuated vaccines, Inactivated vaccines, Subunit vaccines, Toxoid vaccines, Conjugate vaccines, DNA vaccines and Recombinant vector vaccines.
