CHILD’S HEALTH PROGRAMS (PART 2) Flashcards
Has five priority areas: road traffic injuries, burns and falls, drowing, falls, and poisoning
A.O. 2006-0016 - National Policy & Strategic Framework for Child Injury Prevention & Control
Physical damage that results when a human body is suddenly or briefly subjected to intolerable levels of energy
Injury
resulting from acute exposure to energy such as mechanical, thermal, electrical or radiant
Bodily lesion
resulting from lack of one or more vital elements such as air, water, and warmth
Impairment of function
Making positive choices about minimizing risk at all levels of society, while maintaining healthy, active and safe communities and lifestyles
Injury prevention
Aims to provide populations with the means to ensure the presence of, and maintain the conditions necessary to reach and sustain, an optimal level of safety
Safety promotion
Was established in 1976 to ensure that infants/children and mothers have access to routinely recommended infant/childhood vaccines
P.D. 996 (1976) - Providing for Compulsory Basic Immunization of Infants and Children below Eight Years of Age
First three vaccines of EPI in 1986
DPT, Tuberculosis, Hepa B
DOH EPI Strategic Plan from 2016-2021 strengthen immunization coverage of tradition vaccines and introduce new vaccines
R.A. 10152 (2010) - Mandatory Infants and Children Health Immunization Act
typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe
Vaccine
a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases
Vaccination
What does MMR stand for?
Measles, Mumps, Rubella
Contain a version of the living microbe that has been weakened in the lab so it can’t cause disease
Live, Attenuated vaccines
Killing the disease-causing microbe with chemicals, heat, or radiation
Inactivated vaccines
is made by chemically linking (conjugating) a protein molecule with a tiny amount of the polysaccharide that makes up the cell coating of the bacterium
Conjugate vaccines
is a type of vaccine that transfects a specific antigen-coding DNA sequence into the cells of an organism as a mechanism to induce an immune response.
DNA vaccines
they use an attenuated virus or bacterium to introduce microbial DNA to cells of the body
Recombinant Vector vaccines
