Plague vaccine is a vaccine used against Yersinia pestis to prevent the plague.[1] Inactivated bacterial vaccines have been used since 1890 but are less effective against the pneumonic plague, so live, attenuated vaccines and recombinant protein vaccines have been developed to prevent the disease.[2]
