Inactivated vaccine

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This was labeled as a start-level article but receives over 600 views a day on average. It is relevant to much of the vaccine discussion happening within our society at the moment and a more fleshed out article may be of use for many other people.

Evaluate the article
Everything in the article is relevant. The lead section is more developed than any other sections. The organization of the article would benefit from having the article expanded and more details added. The writing quality is concise. There is a spelling error in the lead. A hyphen should be added between disease and producing to improve clarity of this sentence. Additionally, care should be taken when talking about pathogen vs virus vs bacteria. This is not always consistent or clear in the writing.

Reference needed for "Attenuated vaccines are often preferable for generally healthy people because a single dose is often safe and very effective. However, some people cannot take attenuated vaccines because the pathogen poses too much risk for them (for example, elderly people or people with immunodeficiency). For those patients, an inactivated vaccine can provide protection." Tone may not appear neutral without a reference here.

No images, media, or tables available.

The talk page is not extensive but does include some useful direction for article expansion and notes the importance of clarifying pathogen-type.

Overall, the article is a generally a good neutral start to the topic but would benefit from being expanded and additional sources obtained. An info box should be included. If available, media or images may help explain the topic. Currently, the article is underdeveloped.
