• Conjugate vaccines
pathogens are surrounded by a polysaccharide capsule and are immunogenic (cause immune response)
___________ alone are poorly immunogenic in kids
bacterial polysaccharids
• Live attenuated vaccines
weakened version of the microbe that causes stronger mucosal immunity
do not give LAV if
immunocompormised
received blood products in recent past
non conjugate inactivated vaccines
organism is carefully killed thermally or chemically, however, immunogenicity is KEPT
• Toxoids
vaccines with subunit antigens or inactivated toxins, which includes that parts that best cause immune responses.
types of LAV
- MMR
- Varicella
- Rotavirus
- Influenza (nasal)
- Zoster shingles
types of conjugate vaccines
- Influenza injection
- Hep B
- Haemophilus influenza type B
- HPV
- meningococcal
- pheumococcal
tpes of non-conjugate
1, polio
2. Hep A
toxoids
diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus
Reason for development
ppl started to move closer to one another and epidemics started to whipe ppl out
___ is an extremely busy period of time for vaccinations
birth- 24 months
booster vaccines are given when
4- 6 YO
which vaccines are given to older children
meningococcal and HPV
can ppl who are allergic to gets get influzena vaccine
YES
does MMR cause autism
no
do vaccines cause disease
no
Comminity vaccination rates ____ herd immunity => outbreak
less than
herd immunity depends on what?
% diffees based on
percentage of pop vaccinated
percentage differs for each disease
There are 2 main reasons for vaccination
• Individual immunity: protect yourself against disease bc they are made for dzs that can kill or perm impair
• Herd immunity (community immunity): protect everyone in a community by vaccination bc if enough ppl are, its diff for the disease to come about again.
o Ppl who cannot get vaccine: somewhat protected bc likelihood of outbreak is low
o Ppl who may not have been fully immunized are also somewhat protected
o Vacines are never 100% effect
