Q

Hos is her immunity established? Who does it protect?

A

Herd Immunity (or community immunity)
can be established by adequate vaccination rates
required to prevent person-to-person transmission of infectious diseases

indirectly protects individuals:
unvaccinated / under vaccinated e.g. infants
unable to mount a robust immune response to vaccines e.g. immunosuppressed

25
Adverse Effecrs of VAccinations
Expected (relatively common, predictable, self-limiting) Local: tenderness, redness, swelling, pain at injection site Systemic: fever, irritability/fussiness, drowsiness, decreased activity, decreased appetite, syncope (not often but can happen if nervous)
26
How is an adverse effect of vaccines reported?
Public Health Agency of Canada collects case reports Part of post-marketing safety surveillance --> ensure safety Data is stored in the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunizations (CAEFI) database & used to signal AEs that require more investigations Minor/expected reactions do not need to be reported Serious, rare, or unexpected AEs thought to be caused by a vaccine: Complete a Report of Adverse Event Following Immunization (AEFI)
27
Which vaccines cause most pain? Strategies to manage?
Rotavirus vaccine is sweet-tasting; usually given first & no additional sweet tasting solution is required – oral vaccine Vaccines associated with more injection site pain: Prevnar-20; M-M-R®II, HPV vaccines, (Shingrix as well) Strategies: most painful give last (moderate confidence), give non-dominant arm (expert), cool compress (expert), use arm instead of resting it (expert)
28
Analgesic after vaccination
Administration of oral analgesics (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) to children to reduce pain prior to or at the time of vaccine injection is not recommended, as there is no evidence of a benefit from this intervention. Concern that antipyretics may reduce immune response. Can give in first 1-2 days post vaccine if required for fever or pain. Suggestion not to routinely administer prophylactic antipyretic/analgesic agents at the time of or within four hours after immսոizatiοո
29
VAccine Drug Interactions
immunosuppressants e.g. DMARDs, prednisone ≥20mg/d x 2 wks Killed: give ≥2 weeks before starting therapy, if possible; but safe if given while on therapy LIVE: give ≥4 weeks before starting therapy or delay until after treatment is discontinued ± waiting period antithrombotics – caution, bleeding risk

33
Mortality Diptheria
Unimmunized 5-10%, highest in very young/old individuals
34
What type of vaccine is diptehria?
Diphtheria toxoid vaccine Contains detoxified diphtheria toxin (antigen), so immune system produces antibodies towards the toxin Vaccine protects against effects of the toxin, but not infection/transmission
35
Describe the formulation of Diptheria vaccine qand its importance
Only available as combo vaccine “D” = pediatric formulation (higher concentration antigen - immature immune system, needs more for an adequate immune response) e.g. DTaP-IPV “d” = adolescent/adult formulation (reduced concentration antigen) e.g. Tdap

Varicella Vaccine DAverse Effects
Swelling and redness, possible low grade fever A varicella-like rash (blisters) at injection site may develop 3 to 5%; may last up to 3-6 weeks Less contagious than the wild-type varicella virus; to prevent possible viral spreading, cover the rash until the blisters have dried and crusted over.
119
Herpes Zoster Causative Agent
Viral infection caused by reactivation of varicella zoster virus Varicella zoster virus infection causes varicella (chickenpox) --> typically remains dormant in the dorsal root ganglia & may reactivate later in life--> reactivated infection results in herpes zoster (shingles)
120
Risk Herpes Zoster
Baseline risk of shingles in adults ≥65 years old is approximately 1% per year
121
Can you get herpes zoster if never had chicken pox?
No - if never had varicella vaccine or chicken pox Varicella vaccine has a lower risk of herpes zoster than those who have had an infection with varicella
122
Hepres Zoster Signs and Sx
Prodromal pain can precede the rash by days to weeks in most individuals Maculopapular vesicular rash (painful, itchy) occurring along 1 or 2 dermatomes (usually thoracic) that does not cross the midline (unilateral). Usually lasts ~7-10 days
123
Complications Herpes zoster
postherpetic neuralgia (~13-20%) Disseminated zoster: ophthalmic (10-15%), CNS, pulmonary & hepatic involvement Association with increased risk of cerebrovascular event within ~1 year post herpes zoster infection (?↑ cardiac event) <10% of individuals 65yrs + will be hospitalized Mortality is uncommon
124
Herpes Zoster Vaccine Formulation
Shingrix: adjuvanted, recombinant subunit
125
Shingrix Recommendation
Recommended adults 50 years or older Also recommended if : Previously vaccinated with ZOSTAVAX II (wait 2 months [ACIP] to 1 year [NACI]) or Zoster/shingles episode (wait post acute episode [ACIP] to 1 year [NACI])
126

ZOE-70 - Mean Age 76 years old ZOE-50 - Mean age 62 years old Shingrix VS placebo over 3 years Decraesed risk of shingles by 91% (NNT = 32) Decreased risk of PHN (90%) > = 70 - NNT 263 Age > or = 50 NNT 333 Immune response maintained for 9 years, unclear if corrleates with shingles or PHN
127
Shingrix Vaccine Adults. NACI recommendation?
Recommended adults ≥18 with an immunocompromising disease (“new” indication) NACI No recommendation yet Pregnancy? No recommendation, delay until after ideal Breastfeeding? May give, no known risk to infant
128
Shingrisx ACIP Recommendation Audts
Recommended adults ≥18 with an immunocompromising disease (“new” indication) ACIP - confirm varicella immunity (vaccinate for varicella instead) hx chickenpox or shingles, varicella vaccine documentation, positive varicella titre if not immune to varicella then at risk of chicken pox, not shingles, give varicella
129
Herpes Zoter VAccine Schedule
2 doses (0, then 2-6 months) For individuals who are or will be immunosuppressed the second dose can be administered 1 to 2 months after the first (if required). E.g. starting immunosuppressant therapy No furtehr doses at this time
130
Coverage Shingrix
SK: not publicly funded NIHB: benefit 60 years plus OR immunocompromised (e.g. HIV)
131
Herpes zoster Shingix Indication Adults
Indicated for: adults ≥18 years with an immunocompromising disease adults ≥50 years Still recommended in above populations in those with previous zoster infection or ZOSTAVAX II immunization
132
Describe heaptitis B caustive agent
Viral infection
133
Hepatitis B Infection Course
Most clear infection after 4-8 weeks Some chronic HB carriers  cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death Canada estimated <0.5% of residents are chronic HB carriers
134
HEp B Transmission. Highest Risk?
Blood or bodily fluids containing HB virus e.g., sharing injection drug equipment, sexual contact, vertical transmission (parent to baby, highest risk of leading to chronic HB)
135
Signs and Sx Hepatitis B
Asymptomatic in up to 50% of adults and 90% of children Fatigue, fever, N/V, decreased appetite, jaundice
136
HEP B vaccine Formulations
Pediatric and adult formulations High-dose e.g. renal disease, HIV, congenital immunodeficiency disorders Combo vaccine (HAHB) or monovalent HB
137
Sk Series HEp-B
SK Primary Series: 2 doses in Grade 6 (0 months, 6 months) Adult formulation of ENGERIX-B or RECOMBIVAX HB No booster required Exception: potentially some special populations based on serology e.g. dialysis
138
HEP B Serology Interpretation
Serology is not routinely ordered in most patients for immunization purposes; see special populations*
139
INterpretation of HEP B Serology
Healthy patients: if received appropriate immunizations series, then they are considered immune/protected for life even if anti-HBs (HB surface antibody) drop <10 overtime because immune memory to HB persists Another HB vaccine dose is NOT required (exam) Some special populations (immunocompromised, CKD etc) : If anti-HBs <10, give another dose and repeat serology
140
Hepatitis A Causuative agent
Viral infection cause by hepatitis A virus
141
HEP-A Transmission
Transmission: fecal-oral Contaminated food, water, drinks, etc HA virus can remain infectious in the environment for several weeks
142
Signs and Sx HEP-A
Asymptomatic (younger); adolescents/adults  anorexia, nausea, fatigue, fever, jaundice; rarely death Lasts a few weeks to a few months
143
HEP-A Course of Illness
~25% of adult cases are hospitalized Does not lead to chronic hepatitis or chronic carrier state (like HBV)
144
HEpatitis-A Vaccine Formulation
Many HA vaccines available Pediatric and adult formulations e.g. AVAXIM and AVAXIM PEDIATRIC Combo vaccine or individually
145
Hepatitis A Schedule
Not routinely given in childhood vaccinations Recommended for people at increased risk of infection 2 doses (0, 6 months) No BOOSTER required
146
HEP-A and B VAccine Fomrulation
Twinrix (HAHB) SK: not routinely given in childhood vaccines & not publicly funded Role in SK today: convenience re travel If someone requires hepatitis A for travel & unsure if they’ve received HB series/no HB series documented But if they have already completed Hepatitis B series (or if serology was previously done & they are HB immune) then ONLY HA vaccination required
147
HPV Caustive agent

HPV Signs and Sx
Most infections are asymptomatic & and are eventually cleared by the immune system within 24 months Some develop genital warts (HPV types 6, 11, others) Some develop cancer
151
Describe the different HPV types and the risks
anal, cervical, vaginal, penile (HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58, and others) Oropharynx (HPV type 16) causes almost all cases of cervical cancer (HPV types 16, 18)
152
Describe the WH and CAnada Traget for hPV vaccination rates
WHO/Canada target: ≥17yrs 90% will be vaccinated with 2+ doses Canada 2-dose series completion ~60-90% 1-dose ≥14yrs ~80%

HPV Vaccines
HPV-9 (GARDASIL-9): human papillomavirus types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58 HPV-2 (CERVARIX) contains HPV type 16 & 18; only approved in females & not commonly used
154
HPV Vaccine EFficcay
In people who have never been infected with the 9 specific vaccine-types of HPV (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58), the vaccine will: Prevent 7/10 cases of cervical cancer & 9/10 cases of genital warts Does NOT protect against other STIs HPV types included in HPV-9 (GARDASIL-9) cause ~90-95% HPV-attributable cancers
155
NACI Recommendations HPV
HPV-9 (GARDASIL-9) preferred – protection vs the greatest number of HPV types and associated diseases Healthy individuals 9-20 years: 1 dose of HPV vaccine (previous recommendation was 2 doses) 21-26 years: 2 doses of HPV vaccine (previous recommendation was 3 doses) ≥27 years: 2 doses of HPV vaccine using SDM (shared decision making) (previous recommendation was 3 doses) HPV vaccine may be offered in pregnancy (prev recommendation delay post-pregnancy) ≥9 years, immunocompromised or HIV: 3 doses (0, 2, 6 months)
156
How to talk about HPV vaccination in women over 26?
Gardasil 9 and Cervarix are approved for women up to age 45 Don't feel compelled to bring up for most adults 27-45, especially if in long-term, mutually monogamous relationships Consider discussing with unvaccinated adults who will have a new sex partner, especially those with few partners in the past. Vaccination might cover HPV strains they haven't been exposed to before
157
HPV Sk Schedule
158
PAtiet Education Gardasil
Administer after other vaccines (known to cause more injection pain – adjuvanted) May administer with other vaccines
159
HPV Vaccine EFficacy rgarding sexual activity
Primary series is expected to provide lifelong immunity HPV vaccine is most effective when given at a younger age, before exposure to HPV. HPV vaccine after onset of sexual activity is recommended because unlikely vaccine recipient has been infected with all HPV types in the vaccine Still indicated in women with abnormal pap test, cervical cancer or genital warts
160
HPV-9 Vaccine Age Indication
Some choose to still get the HPV-9 vaccine x 1 dose e.g. ongoing risk (approved in those up to 45 years)
161
Males HPV-9 Vaccine
HPV-9 recommended 9-26 years (≥27yrs – SDM – approved in those up to 45 years) SK: Only publicly funded for those born after 2006 ~18yrs and younger..
162
Mpox CAusative Agent
Viral infection caused by monkeypox virus
163
MPOX Transmission
Skin to skin contact Transmission is not prevented by condoms Respiratory droplets (close, sustained face-to-face contact) Animal to humans e.g. bites from rodents (Africa) Low risk transmission: shared contaminated objects e.g. doorknobs, bed lines
164
MPox Common Populations
Most cases have been diagnosed in MSM Also diagnosed in heterosexual persons Rarely household transmission to younger children
165
Signs and Symptoms of Mpox and Contagiousness
Incubation period has generally ranged from 7 to 10 days following exposure Signs & Symptoms Systemic illness: fever, chills, headache, myalgias, rash (pimple-like / blisters, look similar to shingles but larger) Atypical (2022 outbreak): oral, genital, and anal lesions without systemic illness Usually self-limiting (2-4 weeks) But 2022 outbreak: cases of mortality in those immunocompromised or those who developed encephalitis Tecovirimat (TPOXX) treatment for high risk patients Contagious for ~2-4 weeks (until all lesion scabs have fallen off) Cover lesions, wear mask…
166
MPOX Vaccine Discovery
Smallpox vaccine protects against mpox Mpox virus is an orthopoxvirus that is in the same genus as variola (causative agent of smallpox) and vaccinia viruses (the virus used in the smallpox vaccine).
167
MPOX VAccine Formualiton
Second generation smallpox vaccine; modified vaccinia Ankara IMVAMUNE Live-attenuated, non-replicating virus (no risk of developing infection or transmission to others) ≥18 years at high risk for exposure Safe immunocompromised e.g. HIV, pregnancy (limited data)
168
MPOX Risk Factors
Close COntact: 4-14 days Transgender, 2s, bisexual, gay or MSM, or individuals who have sex with MSM and ONE OF: 1) prior STD in last 12 months 2) 2 or more partners where one has other partners 3) Sex in sex-on premises 4) Have has or plan to have sexual contact with annonymous partner 5) Are planning to travel to area in Canada or workld reporting cases 6) Sex Workers 7) Volunteer or work at places with sexual activity
169
MPOX VAccine Schedule
PrEP: IMVAMUNE 2 doses (0.5 mL) subcut given 1 month apart (0, 1 month) potential booster after 2 years PEP: IMVAMUNE 1 dose ≤4 day (up to 14 days) since last exposure consider 2nd dose in 1 month if ongoing exposure

Pneomonoccal Types that CAuse Dx
The most common serotypes that cause disease vary across different populations and tend to change over time.
175
What type of vaccine is pneumonoccocal vaccines?
Conjugate vs. Polysaccharide Longer lasting immune (create long-term memory cells) More robust immune response – involve B & T cells Polysaccharide – “T cell independent” Infants – respond well to T-cell dependent antigens; do not respond well to T cell independent antigens e.g. previous, when pneumovax23 was used in infants at high risk of IPV, waited until 2 years of age
176
NACi Penumonococcal Childhood- No IPD Risk FActors
