In addition, the greatest advantage that peptide vaccines have over traditional vaccines is that they do not contain whole viruses. Thus, after inoculation, the virus cannot replicate within the animal. This conforms to the requirements of the OIE for a foot-and-mouth-disease-free zone.
此外，胜肽疫苗具有傳統疫苗所沒有的最大好處是，由於疫苗中不含完整病毒，施打後病毒不會在動物體複製，因此能符合 OIE 所要求的「非口蹄疫區的豬隻，完全不能檢驗出病毒抗原」的規定。
