Toxoid vaccine

A toxoid vaccine is designed to protect against certain bacterial infections by teaching the immune system to recognize and fight the toxins produced by bacteria, rather than the bacteria themselves. It uses a modified, inactive form of the toxin called a toxoid, which cannot cause illness but still prompts the body to develop immunity. When vaccinated, your immune system learns to identify and neutralize the toxin early, preventing disease symptoms. Toxoid vaccines are commonly used for illnesses like tetanus and diphtheria, providing long-term protection by training your immune defenses without exposing you to the actual harmful bacteria.
