That there is confusion just emphasizes that the term therapeutic vaccine needs more education around it.
When I think of vaccines, I think of something that’s preventative - regardless of the mechanism. Even the coming “Lyme Disease” vaccine is still preventative though it’s more of a tick bite vaccine.
Someone please school me.
Why is it a therapeutic vaccine - what’s wrong with calling it a treatment?
