Immunization Flashcards
Achieved by administration of preformed antibodies
Passive immunity
Passive immunity can be induced naturally through
transplacental transfer of maternal IgG
Live attenuated vaccines
Measles Mumps Rubella Varicella Rotavirus Live attenuated influenza vaccine BCG
Influenza 2 types
Live attenuated
Inactivated vaccine
Wild virus or bacterium
Prolonged immunity
Multiplies in human host with stronger immune response
But can revert back to virulent form hence do not give to immunocompromised
Live attenuated
Intramuscular
Do not multiply in human host
Immune response depends on antigen content
Little cell mediated immunity but no possibility of vaccine assoc infection
Inactivated vaccine
Birth to 2 mos
BCG
Monovalent Hepa B
4-8 mos
Hep B
T/F: all vaccines can be administered at the same visit as all other vaccines
True
Except in persons with functional or anatomic asplenia PCV13 and Menactra meninggococcal conjugate should not be administered at same visit
Vaccine spacing by at least
4 weeks
BCG is given
Dose
Intradermally
- 05ml for <12 mos
- 1 ml for >12
First two months of life
If more than 2 mos and patient wasn’t given BCG, do
PPD prior to BCG if
Congenital TB
Hx of close contact with known TB patient
Clinical finding suggestive of TB
Otherwise no PPD diff mx
4 month old no BCG
Father sputum +
What is plan of action?
Do PPD prior giving BCG
Investigate
More than 2 months of age do not give BCG without prior BCG if
Congenital
PPD is positive if
induration of 5mm
No longer recommended to give BCG
IM
Administer first dose as monovalent to all newborns within:
2nd dose given:
Final dose:
Hepa B
12 hrs of life
1-2 mos after birth
Final: not earlier than 24 weeks or after 6 mos of age
0-1-6
If mother is HBsAg +
Administer Hep B and
HBIG 0.5ml
within 12 h of life not later than 7 days of age if not available
Give active and passive
If mother’s HBsAg is unknown
>/= 2 kg newborn
Administer Hep B within 12 hrs of life
If infant is preterm and mother is HBsAg negative
1st dose of HepB given at 30d chronological age
Hold at birth
Count as part of 3 dose primary series
If you give agad, not counted so give 3 more
IM
3 dose primary series within minimum age of 6 weeks and interval of 4 weeks
Booster given between 12-15mos
HiB
6-10-14
IM
Min age of 6 w with minimum interval of 4 weeks
Penta dose series
Do not give 5th if administered at 4 years or older
DPT
2-4-6-15 to 18 and 4-6 years
Component of DPT vaccine is highly responsible for adverse effect after vaccination
Pertussis: seizure
IM
Given in combination with DTaP and Hib with or without Hep B
Min age of 6 weeks with min interval of 4 weeks
Primary series consists of 3 doses 2-4-6 to 18 and 4 to 6
Booster given on or after 4th birthday at least 6 mos from previous dose
Inactivated poliovirus vaccine
