    Live vaccines contain weakened or attenuated forms of pathogens that stimulate a strong immune response without causing disease, offering long-lasting immunity. Killed vaccines, on the other hand, contain inactivated pathogens that cannot replicate, resulting in a safer option but often requiring multiple doses for effective immunity. The choice between them depends on factors like the disease, target population, and desired immune response.
