Q

inactive vaccines

A

used kill version of a wild virus or bacteria that causes the disease. CAN NOT replicate and cause disease.

Less affected by circulating antibodies than live vaccines
limitation: immunity is not as strong as with live vaccines
Boosters: may be required for ongoing immunity

Q

Polysaccharides, conjugated and recombinant vaccines

A

target a section of the organism, such as protein, sugar or capsid (outer casing)

these are types of vaccines in the inactive vax group

Q

Polysaccharide Vaccines

A

molecules taken from the outer layer of encapsulated bacteria (such as pneumoccal serotypes; each serotype matches a circulating strain of the organism).
ex: Pneumovax 23

Do NO produce a good immune response in <2 years

Q

Conjugated Vaccines

A

polysaccharides (sugar), molecules from the outside layer of encapsulated proteins and JOIN the molecules of carrier proteins.

increase immune response in infants, and antibody booster response to multi doses of vax

Q

mRNA

A

vaccine gives instructions to the body’s cells (in the form of mRNA) to produce a protein specific to the pathogen, which then triggers an immune response

Q

Live vaccines

A

similar to the actual disease, provides a strong, long-lasting immune response

Limitations: 1) pt who are immunocompromised may not be able to halt replication; could cause the disease 2) circulating antibodies could interfere w/ vaccine replication

Q

General rule for all vax
timing and spacing

A
  • can be usually given at the same time (same visit/day)
    —– except in pt w/ asplenia, Prevnar and Menactra should be separated by 4 weeks
  • multi live vax can be given on the same day, if (not given on the same day) space 4 weeks apart
    —- except no separation is required for oral rotavirus vax
  • vax series requires >1 dose, intervals can be extended w/o restarting but should not be shortened in most cases

Q

live vax and antibody
timing and spacing

A
  • MMR and varicella-containing (MMRV) products require separation from antibody-containing products (e.g. blood transfusion, IVIG)
    —-vax–> 2weeks–> antibody-containing products
    —-antibody-containing products–> 3 months or longer–> vax
  • simultaneous admin of vax and antibody (inform of immunoglobulin) is recommended for post-exposure prophylaxis for certain diseases (e.g. hep A &B, rabies, tetanus)
