Immunizations Flashcards
natural/innate immunity
Naturally acquired active immunity
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Artificially acquired active immunity
Live attenuated/inactived vaccines
Herd immunity
The basics
body’s natural way of protecting the body from pathogens or foreign agents
natural/innate immunity
this is obtained when the body’s immune system response to a specific pathogen: so you are exposed to a virus
Naturally acquired active immunity
that mother to fetus
maternal antibodies: newborn comes out they’re able to fight things off so quickly okay they don’t get that sick because they are still getting antibodies from Mom
Naturally acquired passive immunity
acquired by administration of vaccines
stimulate the immune system’s production of antibodies against a specific antigen
giving just enough that the body can be exposed to it and build antibodies to it so if later on this child is exposed the body will be able to fight off quick enough that the child does not get it and they’re no symptoms of it okay we’ll get a little more into that the next couple slides
Artificially acquired active immunity
Are created from a live organism that’s grown under suboptimal conditions to produce a live vaccine with reduced fergulence contain weakened microorganisms and they stimulate an immune response and production antivirus
are effective and protection for more than 20 years
Leads to a weaker response
assess the kid if they’re sick if they just have a regular cold and they’re not too sick then it’s okay to give these vaccines however if the kid is very sick and we’re giving all these vaccines okay are these kids immuno compromised
are they getting chemo radiation any of that kind of thing we’re going to have to question whether or not it’s appropriate to give them a vaccine especially live vaccines we’re not going to give those if the kid is immunocompromised
Live attenuated/inactived vaccines
we don’t need this going around this isn’t easy way to prevent this diseases from getting out you and hurting kids and everything so when the net when the community chooses not to you have vaccinated child they’re hurting other student or hurting other kids okay
