If a vaccine is inactivated that just means that it is a dead virus. usually when they give you a vaccine that is active or not 100% inactivated it is a live "attenuated" virus. this means it has been rendered or become non-infectious. So both types of vaccines work. There are very rare cases where people got the flu or whatever from a live vaccine such as in children's vaccines sometimes. The rabies vaccine in the U.S. is inactivated (killed) virus. You cannot get rabies from it.

p.s. the flu vaccine that is live attenuated is a nasal spray.
