The geosphere includes the rocks and minerals on Earth â from the molten rock and heavy metals in the deep interior of the planet to the sand on beaches and peaks of mountains. The geosphere also includes the abiotic (non-living) parts of soils, and the skeletons of animals that may become fossilized over geologic time.
Four types of vaccines are currently available: 1  Live virus vaccines use the weakened (attenuated) form of the virus. 2  Killed (inactivated) vaccines are made from a protein or other small pieces taken from a virus or bacteria.  Toxoid vaccines contain a toxin or chemical made by the bacteria or virus.
There are currently two types of pneumococcal vaccines: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). There are more than 90 types of pneumococcal bacteria. PCV13 protects against 13 types and PPSV23 protects against 23 types. Both vaccines provide protection against illnesses like meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain and spinal cord) and bacteremia (blood infection). PCV13 also provides protection against pneumonia (lung infection).
