- Monoclonal antibodies
- Toxoids
- Vaccines
type of immunity for vaccines and toxoids
Active immunity
Type of immunity for passive immunity
antibody-containing preparation
A solution of antibodies against a toxin
Antitoxin
- This can be derived from either human (e.g., tetanus immune globulin) or animal (usually equine) sources (e.g., diphtheria and botulism antitoxin)
- It is used to confer passive immunity and for treatment
Antitoxin
It is the plasma that comes from people who have recovered from an infection
Convalescent plasma
● This plasma may contain antibodies against the microorganism that caused the infection of the donor.
● It provides passive immunity for someone who has an illness for the first time.
Convalescent plasma
the process of separating
plasma from the whole blood
plasmapheresis
Convalescent plasma is obtained through ________________
Plasmapheresis
stage na gumaling na ang
pasyente and during that present pa yung antibodies.
convalescent
Special preparations obtained from blood plasma from donor pools preselected for a high antibody content against a specific antigen
Hyperimmune globulin (specific)
● hepatitis B immune globulin, varicella zoster immune globulin, rabies immune globulin, tetanus immune globulin, vaccinia immune globulin, cytomegalovirus immune globulin, botulism immune globulin
● Used as either prophylaxis or for providing passive immunity.
Hyperimmune globulin (specific)
immediate protection before exposure
Prophylaxis
has a certain period or doses before it takes effect
Vaccine
A sterile solution containing antibodies, which are usually obtained from human blood.
Immune globulin/Immunoglobulin
● It is obtained by cold ___________ of large pools of blood plasma and contains 15%-18% protein.
(Immune globulin/Immunoglobulin)
ethanol fractionation
● Intended for ___________
(Immune globulin/Immunoglobulin)
intramuscular administration
● Primarily indicated for routine maintenance of
immunity among certain immunodeficient persons and for __________ protection against measles and hepatitis A.
(Immune globulin/Immunoglobulin)
passive
Found in mucous, saliva, tears, and breast milk. Protects against pathogens
IgA
Part of the B cell receptor. Activates basophils and mast cells
IgD
Protects against parasitic worms. Responsible for allergic reactions
IgE
Secreted by plasma cells in the blood. Able to cross the placenta into the fetus.
IgG
May be attached to the surface of a B cell or secreted into the blood. Responsible for early stages of immunity.
IgM
Both are used for oncological and immunological/infectious
diseases, but these are expanding into other disease areas
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and polyclonal antibodies (pAbs)
antibody products prepared from a single lymphocyte clone, which contains only antibody against a single antigen
MAbs
mixture of antibodies that react against a specific antigen, each identifying a different epitope on
an antigen.
PAbs
A modified bacterial toxin that has been made nontoxic, but retains the ability to stimulate the formation of antibodies to the toxin
Toxoids
● These are active (artificially-acquired) immunization agents, but they don’t give long-term protection like vaccines
Toxoids
A suspension of live (usually attenuated) or inactivated microorganisms (e.g., bacteria or viruses) or fractions thereof administered to induce immunity and prevent infectious disease or its sequelae
Vaccines
Pharmacy Staff should complete training regarding procedures on:
■ Receipt of vaccines
■ Storage requirements
■ Emergency procedures (in terms of storage in case of power interruptions)
■ Monitoring inventory
■ Immunization workflow
A complete ___________ that is written and dated should be obtained from each patient at every visit.
immunization record
○ Vaccination Administration Record
Stay with pharmacy
○ Vaccine Immunization Card
For patient
Prior to vaccine administration, patients should be screened for _______________ and ____________ . Also, the benefits and risks of the vaccine should be discussed with the patient and safety concerns addressed. The patient should also be provided with after care instructions at this point
contraindications and precautions
To help ease and relieve anxiety of the patient prior to and during vaccination, the following simple strategies could be used:
○ Displaying a positive attitude;
○ Using a soft and calm voice;
○ Making eye contact
○ Explaining why the vaccine is needed; and
○ Being honest and explaining what to expect
○ Have patient sit or lie down during vaccination (t or f)
(Positioning and comforting restraint)
T
○ Observe for symptoms of ___________
(Positioning and comforting restraint)
syncope (fainting)
○ Observe patient while seated or lying down for at least _______ after vaccination
(Positioning and comforting restraint)
15 minutes
○ Avoiding ________ during vaccine administration
(Pain management)
aspiration
○ Administering most painful vaccine first (t or f)
(Pain management)
F; last
○ _____or _______ the skin near the injection site prior to and during injection may decrease pain
(Pain management)
Rubbing or stroking
○ Applying __________ before vaccine administration
(Pain management)
topical anesthetics
may occur with most vaccines but common with inactivated vaccines, particularly those that contain adjuvants
(Potential Adverse Reactions to Vaccines (side effects))
Local reactions
pain, redness, swelling at
injection site; occurs after the injection and are usually mild and
self-limited
(Potential Adverse Reactions to Vaccines (side effects))
Local reactions
enhance the effect of
the vaccine
Adjuvants
- more generalized reactions and are more common and non-specific. These could occur in vaccinated individuals who have received the vaccines or may be unrelated to the vaccine.
- This reaction is more common with live attenuated vaccines
(Potential Adverse Reactions to Vaccines (side effects))
Systemic reactions
Fever, malaise, myalgia,
loss of appetite, headache
(Potential Adverse Reactions to Vaccines (side effects))
Systemic reactions
