COVID-19 is NOT a live vaccine.
Leukaemia Care (Facebook 09/01/21):
"There has been some confusion as to whether the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is a 'live' vaccine, which is a type of vaccine that contains whole bacteria or viruses that have been weakened to create an immune response. Blood cancer patients should not have live vaccines.
The Oxford vaccine is NOT a live vaccine. The same applies to the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.
The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine contains whole virus particles, but these are not whole COVID-19 viruses. It is a different virus that has been used to deliver a part of the COVID-19 vaccine that the immune system can respond to; this type of vaccine is called a viral vector.
The virus used as the vector is called an adenovirus, and it usually causes the common cold in monkeys. It has been modified so it cannot replicate. Therefore, you are not able to become ill from either the adenovirus or COVID-19 from this vaccine." leukaemiacare.org.uk/suppor...
