BIOLOGICS
BIOLOGICS usually require
cold chain
critical about potency, general safety, sterility, purity, residual moisture, pyrogens, identity, and constituent materials
Biologics
a process that improves the immune system (outdated)
Immunization
use of a biologic product (a vaccine) to develop active immunity in the patient
Vaccination
a process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination (CDC definition)
Immunization
bacterial toxins modified and detoxified with moderate heat and chemical treatment so that the antigenic properties remain while the substance is rendered nontoxic
Toxoids
