Article states "A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious or malignant disease." which is correct depending on the source. However many organisations and professionals use the CDC or Merriam-Webster definition, so a brief summary of their changes to the definition could be a good addition.

I want to modify the following sentence: "A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins."
I have three changes to this sentence:
1. change the word "an agent" to "a substance". 2. add phrase "or its components" after the word "microorganism" 3. include polysaccharide vaccines.
So the new sentence will read as "A vaccine typically contains a substance that resembles a disease-causing microorganism or its components and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, one or more of its surface proteins or polysaccharides"
See this web page for importance of polysaccharide vaccines. https://www.immunize.org/askexperts/experts_pneumococcal_vaccines.asp Bondsubb ( talk) 18:33, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Can the following (naturally without the nowiki formatting) be added to the top of the History section on this article?
{{Further|Vaccination#History|Inoculation#Origins}}
It would look like this:
I think this would be useful to tie-in the Vaccine#History section into these related section in other pertinent articles, especially since we don't have a standalone article about the "History of Vaccines" nor "History of Vaccination". -- 97.124.47.226 ( talk) 00:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Add the citation below to this section: Interactions When two or more vaccines are mixed in the same formulation, the two vaccines can interfere. This most frequently occurs with live attenuated vaccines, where one of the vaccine components is more robust than the others and suppresses the growth and immune response to the other components.

In the "History" section there's mention of waiting for a malaria vaccine, however, 2 have been authorized by the WHO:
