> The 91-day or 182-day T-bill yield.
> Any other benchmark market interest rate as developed by the Financial Benchmarks India Pvt. Ltd.

💣Learning: So as soon as RBI 🔺or 🔻Repo rate it will be immediately reflected in the lending rate of banks.

🧨Note: An expected question on "EBLR" is pending from last 3 years.

Topic 48: Types of Vaccines🧨

1. Whole Microbe Approach:
➡ Inactivated vaccines use a killed version of the germ.
➡ Live-attenuated vaccines - use a weakened form of the germ
➡ Viral vector vaccines -These vaccines contain a different, harmless virus that helps immune system to identify and defend against the harmful virus.
2. Subunit Approach: use only specific pieces of the germ, such as its protein, sugar, or casing.
3. Genetic Material Approach: E.g., mRNA vaccines use messenger RNA, which gives your cells instructions for how to make a protein of the germ.

➡ Toxoid vaccines that use a toxin (harmful product) made by the germ.
