NAPLEX Practice Exam 2025 – Comprehensive Test Preparation

Question: 1 / 1820

What type of vaccines are Hep A and Hep B?

Inactivated

Both Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines are inactivated vaccines. This means that they do not contain infectious agents and cannot cause the disease they are designed to prevent. Option B, live vaccines, contain a weakened form of the disease-causing virus, while option C, conjugate vaccines, have polysaccharides from the disease-causing organism attached to a protein. Option D, subunit vaccines, contain fragments of the virus or bacteria that are important for immunity. These options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the type of vaccines for Hepatitis A and B. Furthermore, choosing the wrong type of vaccine can potentially lead to serious side effects or even failure to protect against the disease.
