Vaccines Flashcards
(113 cards)
Maternally derived antibodies last how long in cats and dogs?
~16wks
Earliest to start vaccines in cats/dogs?
6-8wks
Earliest to administer Rabies
12-16wks
Earliest to administer FeLV
8-12 wks
Earliest to administer Lepto/Lyme/Influenza
12wks
How often to booster vaccines?
3-4 wks
If wait longer than 6wks to booster vaccines
won’t get appropriate secondary immune response
First annual boosters should include
EVERYTHING
Typical 3 year vaccine schedule
canine rabies, DA2pp, frcp
Typical 1 year vaccine schedule
lepto, lyme non adjuvanted rabies vaccine
How often to administer bordetella vaccines?
6m, 1 yr
Reason to vaccine failures
- maternal antibodies
- acute disease state
- stressors
- Administration Errors
Mild adverse vaccine reactions
mild general malaise and pain around injection site
Severe adverse vaccine reactions
anaphylaxis or sarcoma
T. 1 Hypersensitivity reaction
anaphylaxis
mediated by IgE & antigen
Tx: Antihistamines +/- glucocorticoids +/- epinephrine
T.2 Hypersensitivity reaction
Mediated by IgM & IgG
Autoimmune resulting in ab +/- complement
Ex: IMHA, IMTP
T. 3 Hypersentitivity reaction
Mediated by IgM & IgG
Serum sickness
Ex: anterior uveitis
T. 4 Hypersensitivity reaction
cell-mediated immune response only; delayed reaction
Ex: granuloma formation, cutaneous vasculitis
Risk factors for adverse vaccine reactions
- total number of vaccines administered during a single visit
- bacterial or spirochete vaccines
- patient–breed, wt, age
Examples of noninfectious vaccines
rabies, canine influenza, coronavirus, whole killed cell bacterins, western diamondback rattlesnake avenomous vaccine
Safest kind of vaccine?
Noninfectious vaccines– considered the safest because they cannot revert to virulence and cannot cause disease
Noninfectious vaccines require how many doses and why?
2, first dose primes the immune response and second dose provides protective immune response
Examples of Infectious Vaccines
Distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus-2, parainfluenza
Infectious vaccines require how many doses and why?
1 at 14-16wks; one dose will prime, immunize and boost the immune response– if MDA does not interfere
