Live-attenuated vaccine.
Explanation: Live-attenuated vaccines contain a weakened (attenuated) form of the germ that can still replicate a little and stimulate a strong immune response. Inactivated vaccines use killed germs, toxoid vaccines use inactivated toxins, and mRNA vaccines deliver genetic instructions for cells to make a harmless piece of the pathogen.
