What is innate immunity?
non-specific defence mechanisms activated by chemical properties of the antigen these start within hours of antigen appearance in the body.

What is the adaptive immunity?
This is an antigen specific immune response, which is more complex than the innate immune system. However it takes time to create immune cells to attack.

What is the problem with relying solely on herd immunity to protect your children?
Herd immunity is dependent on your local population and the immunisation status of each individual around you. This is impossible to control. It is not normally evenly spread and how clusters can form.
What is the chance of death from measles if my child contracted if while unvaccinated?
one in 1,000
What is the chance of death from measles if my child contracted if while unvaccinated?
one in 1,000
What is the risk of serious allergy with vaccination?
1 in 1.3 million doses
What is the formaldehyde concentration in nail polish?
0.5%
What is the concentration of formaldehyde in fruit?
300 to 400 mg/kg, so one apple would have 40 mg of formaldehyde
What is the amount of formaldehyde in a vaccine?

how much formaldehyde is in a child’s body naturally?
1.1 mg of formaldehyde
What about mercury?
only the influenza vaccine contains mercury based preservative s and there are mercury free alternatives.
What about aluminium
this is an adjuvant in vaccines to amplify the immune response. The combined content in 6 months of vaccines is 4.4 milligrams while the content in 6 months of breast feeding is 7 milligrams.

What is primary failure of the vaccination mean?
This occurs when the individual fails to make an initial immunological response to the vaccination. 10% of children do not respond to the 1st MMR vaccine that is why there is a booster dose.

What is secondary vaccination failure?
This occurs when an individual responds to the vaccine but the protection wanes over time, this is when boosters are introduced.

10,000 vaccines

When are polysaccharide vaccines used?
These are used in response to outbreaks, mainly in Africa. They are not effective before age 2 and they offer 3 year protection but no herd immunity
When are conjugate vaccines used?
These are used in prevention strategies, including routine immunisation and outbreak response. They confirm long lasting immunity (over 5 years) and induce herd immunity. They can be used in the first year of life.
