Lecture 9: Prevention of Infections/Adult Immunizations Flashcards
What type of vaccines provides both good humoral and cell mediated immunity and typically does NOT require a booster?
Live vaccines
What are 2 examples of Live vaccines
Live Vaccines
- MMR
- Zoster
What types of vaccines are a/w a weaker immune response, induce humoral immunity and therefore pts may need a booster
Killed/Inactivated vaccines
What are 2 examples of Killed vaccines
Killed/Inactivate Vaccines
- Influenza
- Hep A
What types of vaccines only present the necessary antigens, and are made of capsular polysaccharides so they are used for encapsulated organisms
Subunit Conjugate vaccines
What types of vaccines are Hep B and HPV
Subunit Recombinant Vaccines
What type of vaccines is Tdap
Toxoid vaccine
chemically inactivated toxin –> body recognizes harmless toxin
Vaccines & pregnancy
- What are the only 3 vaccines SAFE in pregnancy
- What types of vaccines are CI in pregnancy
Vaccines & pregnancy
- only safe vaccines = Tdap, influenza, HBV
- Live vaccines = CI in preg
General Principles of Adult Immunization
- what should you do if pts vax hx is incomplete/unknown?
- When giving dose in series should you restart the series if 1 dose is going to be late?
- If pt has immunity to tetanus should you still give the Tdap vaccine?
- What 2 pt populations are live vaccines CI in?
General Principles of Adult Immunization
- pts vax hx is incomplete/unknown –> vacinate!
- dont need to restart series if giving one dose late
- Give combo vaccine even if pt has immunity to 1 part
- Live vaccines CI in preg + immunosuppressed (HIV and CD4 < 200)
Influenza vaccine
- who should it be given to + how often
- what type of vaccine is it (2 diff kinds)
- what type sometimes given to younger pts
- what type given if > 65 or HIV+ (immunosupp)
- What is the CI to giving this vaccine
Influenza vaccine
- given to everyone annually
- inactivated or recombinant
- sometimes younger pts –> live vaccine
- > 65 or HIV+ (immunosupp) –> high dose and adjuvanted
- CI = severe egg allergy
Can you get the flu from the flu vaccine? why or why not?
CANT GET FLU FROM THE VACCINE b/c its inactivated or recombinant
What vaccine should preg women get w/EVERY pregnancy b/tween 27-36 wks
Tdap vaccine
Tdap vaccine
- which part(s) is acellular? which part(s) toxoid?
- how often must a booster be given?
Tdap vaccine
- Pertussis = acellular? Tetanus + Diptheria = toxoid
- booster every 10yrs
Pt suffered a penetrating injury on their foot. Wound cultures grow gram (+) rods that are anaerobic
- What bacteria is the likely cause?
- What vaccine should they be given in addition to wound care?
Penetrating injury w/ wound cultures growing gram (+) rods that are anaerobic
- bacterial cause = Clostridium
- Give Tdap vaccine + clean wound
MMR Vaccine
- what type of vaccine is it
- why should women of childbearing age be vaccinated
- what group of pts are typically immune (had infxn) and usu dont need vaccinated
- What groups of pts (general) need 2 doses 28 days apart rather than the typical single dose
MMR Vaccine
- live vaccine
- women of childbearing age be vaccinated to prevent congenital Rubella syndrome
- pts born before 1957 = usu immune (had infxn) and usu dont need vaccinated
- Immune defect or high risk pts = need 2 doses 28 days apart rather than typical single dose
