herd immunity consideration
- protect individual person immunized AND other members of the community
high vaccination rates are necessary to:
- dec likelihood of disease outbreak
- protect people who cannot be vaccinated (medical issues, too young, incomplete immune response to vaccines)
how long do you separate two inactivated vaccines
any interval
how long do you separate a live and an inactivated vaccine
any interval
how long do you separate two live vaccines
simultaneously OR 28 days minimum

5 days or more
what do you do if an immunization dose interval has lapsed?
dose as normal, no start over
if no record of a vaccine…
redose as if didn’t get it
when to avoid/postpone immunizations

two big markers in HIV
CD4 count
viral load
5 goals of ART (anti-retroviral treatment)
- maximum and durable viral suppression (viral load undetectable)
