Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which is not true about subunit vaccines?
A
They can be designed using molecular biology technique
B
They are less harmful than live attenuated vaccine.
C
They generally are made of polypeptide or oligopeptide.
D
They provide lifetime protection.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Subunit vaccines are considered promising candidates for developing immunizations against malaria, tetanus, human cytomegalovirus, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis infections, and even the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Detailed explanation-2: -Among the several advantages of protein subunit vaccines are that they use a well-established technology which is suitable for individuals with compromised immune systems; they are relatively stable, improving the ease of transport and storage; and they do not contain live components.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein subunit vaccine. Subunit vaccines include only the parts of a virus that best stimulate your immune system. This type of COVID-19 vaccine contains harmless S proteins. Once your immune system recognizes the S proteins, it creates antibodies and defensive white blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because these fragments are incapable of causing disease, subunit vaccines are considered very safe.
