With vaccines you are not injecting the actuall cells. It is an extract from the cells. The cells are used for propagation methods to grow enough of the vaccine to make the injection. Now my training is in Molecular Genetics not Virology but cell culture is a very common thing used in biomedical research. There are places were you can just order any cell line, human, mouse, rat, fly etc. Each cell line is used for different purposes.
