The stabilized vaccine is constituted by a suspension of live attenuated viruses in the above stabilizing agent, and lyophilized. The invention also relates to the method for preparing such a stabilized vaccine, to the stabilized vaccines so-obtained and to their use for treating viral diseases in humans or animals. |
