Q

Effects of vaccination

A

Induce an active immune response (humoral and/or cellular) to specific pathogens

17
Q

Pros of live attenuated vaccines

A

Induce strong, often lifelong immunity

18
Q

Cons of live attenuated vaccines

A

May revert to virulent form, often contraindicated in pregnancy and immunodeficiency

19
Q

Vaccination type where microorganism loses its pathogenicity but retains capacity for growth within inoculated host

A

Live attenuated vaccine

20
Q

Type of vaccination that induces both humoral and cellular response

A

Live attenuated vaccine

21
Q

Live vaccines like MMR and varicella may be given to HIV patients with a CD4 count of…

22
Q

BCG, influenza (intranasal), measles, mumps, polio (Sabin), rotavirus, rubella, varicella, yellow fever are examples of what type of vaccine?

A

Live attenuated vaccines

23
Q

Vaccine where pathogen is destroyed by heat or chemicals

A

Inactivated or killed vaccines

24
Q

Maintaining what structure in inactivated or killed vaccines is important for immune response?

A

Epitope structure on surface antigens

25
Q

Which vaccine type mainly induces a humoral response?

A

Inactivated or killed vaccine

26
Q

Pros of Inactivated or killed vaccine

A

Safer than live vaccines

27
Q

Cons of Inactivated or killed vaccine

A

Weaker immune response; may require booster shots

28
Q

Rabies, Influenza (injection), Polio (Salk), Hep A are examples of what type of vaccine
