A schema summarising the components of a generic vaccine. The immunogenic component will typical be an attenuated or chemically-inactivated microbe, a protein antigen, or a poly-epitope or conjugate. This component will be combined with an appropriate delivery mechanism and an adjuvant. Delivery mechanisms and adjuvants overlap in their ability to increase the immunogenicity of a weakly-active vaccine.
