Inactivated vaccines usually don’t require refrigeration, and they can be easily stored and transported in a freeze-dried form, which makes them accessible to people in developing countries. as we have limitation of words here please visit http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/vaccines/understanding/pages/typesvaccines.aspx for full description.hope you are satisfied with this.
