Q

Prevention concept

A

Def of Vaccines

A
  • Weapons to prevent diseases, made of microorganisms (similar to ones cause diseases) or of toxins produced by the microorganisms (antigenic non toxigenic) that cannot harm people.

Q

Preparation & MOA of Live Attenuated Vaccines

A
  • Wild viruses are attenuated or weakened in a laboratory usually by repeated culturing to produce an immune response.
  • A relatively small dose of virus is administered, which replicates in the body and creates enough of the organism to stimulate an immune response.

Q

Preparation & MOA of Killed vaccines

A
  • Inactivated vaccines are produced by growing the virus in culture media, then inactivating it with heat and or chemicals (usually formalin).
  • Most inactivated vaccines, however, stimulate a weaker immune system response than do live vaccines.
  • So it would likely take several additional doses, or booster shots, to maintain a person’s immunity.

Q

Introduction of tetanus toxoid pathology

A
  • Some bacterial diseases are not directly caused by a bacterium itself, but by a toxin produced by the bacterium.
  • One example is tetanus: its symptoms are not caused by the Clostridium tetani bacterium, but by a neurotoxin it produces (tetanospasmin).

Q

Preparation & MOA of TT

A
  • Immunizations for this type of pathogen can be made by inactivating the toxin that causes disease symptoms.
  • As with organisms or viruses used in killed or inactivated vaccines, this can be done via treatment with a chemical such as formalin, or by using heat or
    other methods.

Q

Subunit Vx by genetic engineering

A
  • Another type of subunit vaccine can be created via genetic engineering.
  • A gene coding for a vaccine protein is inserted into another virus, or into producer cells in culture.
  • When the carrier virus reproduces, or when the producer cell metabolizes, the vaccine protein is also created.
  • The end result of this approach is a recombinant vaccine
  • The immune system will recognize the expressed protein and provide future protection against the target virus.

Q

Prep & MOA of Conjugate vaccines

A
  • Are made using pieces from the coats of bacteria.
  • These coats are chemically linked to a carrier protein, and the combination is used as a vaccine.
  • Conjugate vaccines are used to create a more powerful, combined immune response: typically the “piece” of bacteria being presented would not generate a strong immune response on its own, while the carrier protein would.
  • The piece of bacteria can’t cause illness, but combined with a carrier protein, it can generate immunity against future infection.

79
Q

Cold chain monitoring equipment used in health facilities

A
  • Vaccine vial monitor
  • Vaccine cold chain monitor card
  • Thermometers
80
Q

Def of vaccine vial monitor

A
  • A vaccine vial monitor VVM is a label that changes in colour when the vaccine vial exposed to heat over a period of time.
81
Q
  • Before opening a vial, the status of the VVM must be checked to see whether the vaccine has been damaged by heat
82
Q

Vaccine cold chain monitor card

A
  • The monitor card contains chemical substances behind visible plastic rubber (window A, B, C, D) that change their color gradually and irreversibly with
    heat exposure
83
Q

How can you read the cold chain monitor card?

84
Q

How can you read the cold chain monitor card?

  • If windows A, B, C and D are all white ➔
A

use the vaccine normally

85
Q

How can you read the cold chain monitor card?

  • If windows A to C are completely blue, but window D is still white, it means ……
86
Q

How can you read the cold chain monitor card?

  • If window A only ➔ 2-3 day
  • if A & B ➔ 6-8 days
  • if A, B & C ➔11-14 days

(where A window is a monitor for the polio vaccine, B window for the measles vaccine and C window monitor for B.C.G- DPT- T.T and DT. vaccines).

87
Q

You should use the vaccines within ….. of change of its window indicator to the blue colour unless the expiry date of the vaccine requires a shorter period.

88
Q

If window D is blue, it means ……

A

that the vaccines have been exposed to a temperature > 34°C for at least 2 hours and you should test the cold chain

89
Q

Every vaccine storage unit must have a ……, An accurate temperature history that reflects actual vaccine

90
Q
  • CDC recommends a specific type of TMD called a “digital data logger” (DDL).
91
Q
  • A DDL provides the most accurate storage unit temperature information, including details on how long a unit has been operating outside the recommended temperature range (referred to as a “temperature excursion”).
92
Q
  • Unlike a simple minimum/maximum thermometer, which only shows the coldest and warmest temperatures reached in a unit, a DDL provides detailed information on all temperatures recorded at preset intervals
93
Q

How to load vaccines in a refrigerator?

94
Q

Vaccine refrigerators have two compartments:

A

Vaccine refrigerators have two compartments:

  • A main compartment (the refrigerator): for storing vaccines & diluents, in which the temperature should be between 2°C and +8°C (thermostat is used to
    adjust the temperature).
  • The freezer: for freezing ice-packs. If the refrigerator is working properly, this section will be between -50°C and -15°C.
95
Q

Load a vaccine refrigerator as follows:

96
Q

Freeze & store ice-packs in the …….

A

freezer compartment.

97
Q

A
  • refrigerator
  • ambient temperature
98
Q
  • Put polio & measles vaccines in the …..
  • Excess amount of polio & measles vaccines could …..
A
  • top shelf under the freezer.
  • be kept in the freezer
99
Q

A

middle shelf

100
Q

Other vaccines as TT, DT, DPT hepatitis B & diluents put in …..

A

lower shelf

101
Q

Vaccine and diluents packed in rows with 1-2 cm in between (for air circulation).

102
Q

DPT, DT & TT ➔ shouldn’t touch evaporator plate at the back (may freeze).

103
Q

Separate different types of vaccine clearly

104
Q

Newest vaccine is put on the ….., remove oldest one from the …..

A

right, left

105
Q

Keep vials with VVMs showing more heat exposure than others in the box labelled “use first” .Use these vials first in the next session.

106
Q

Put thermometer inside the refrigerator to adjust the temperature, check the temperature inside the refrigerator twice per day

107
Q

Put salt water bottles in the ….. of the refrigerator (help to keep temperature cool in case of a power cut).

A

lower compartment

108
Q

Do not put vaccines on the door shelves (temperature is too warm to store vaccines)

109
Q
  • Do not keep expired vaccines
  • NOR vaccines with VVMs reached or beyond discard point.
  • NOR reconstituted vaccines for more than 6 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Discard them immediately according to your national guidelines.
