Recombinant vaccines are produced using genetic engineering techniques. They involve inserting the DNA encoding an antigen that stimulates an immune response into bacterial or yeast cells, which then produce the antigen.
Example: The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is a recombinant vaccine that uses virus-like particles.
Nursing Consideration: Nurses should inform patients about the high efficacy rates and the importance of completing the entire vaccine series for optimal protection.
