Week 3 Immunizations Flashcards
Passive Immunization and when its useful
- Immunoglobulons like Palivizumab
- temporary immunity prior to or after exposure
- use when active immunization not available (RSV) or when a vaccine was not admin before exposure (rabies)
what is active immunization and its moa
vaccines; they contain antigens that are recognized by body’s immune system causing an immune response. Activating T cells or B cells. B cells cause antibody formation which attack antigens. Memory B and T cells are formed.
primary vs secondary response to vaccination
- Primary is in response to vacc, slow and not as strong
- Secondary is in response to infection that vaccine had antigens of, more rapid and stronger
Immediate vs Ultimate goal of vacc
Immediate: prevention
Ultimate: Eradication ex smallpox
live vaccines
Influenza (LAIV)
Measles

veryvery very bright

Tetanus
3 conjugated/ polysaccharide
Hib
Meningococcal
Pneumococcal
Pediarix components
Dtap + IPV+ Hep B
- dec vaccine load
Vaxelis components
DTap+ IPV+ Hib + Hep B
Pentacel and clinical pearl
Dtap + IPV + Hib
- dec vaccine load= dec aes
when is it appropriate to have gap between vaccines
with 2 or more live vaccines, 28 day minimum interval if not given at the same time
Cons of decreasing vs increasing interval between vaccines
- decreasing can reduce antibody response/ protection
- increasing can delay protection *give at next visit do not restart series
when do we not count vaccine as valid dose and repeat it
When vacc admin 5 or more days before the minimum dosing interval or age
when should we avoid/ postpone immunization
- pts with mod to severe illness
- Hx of anaphylaxis to vacc or its components
- avoid live vaccines in certain immunodeficiencies (luekemia, lymphoma, cancer, radiation, HIV, prednisone)
- in pregnancy LIVE vaccines CONTRAINDICATED, inactivated okay in 2nd tri
Pregnancy vaccinations; recommended and contraindicated
Recommended cocooning effect
- Inactivated Influenza
- Tdap
- covid
- rsv
CI
- live vaccines
*HPV not recommended
*no evidence that vacc cause fertility problems
Chemotherapy and Live vaccines
vaccinate 2 weeks before OR 3 months after treatment
Corticosteroids and Live vaccines
High dose: >2mg/kg/d or >20mg/d pred for 14 or more days
wait one month
When is it okay to vaccinate children during corticosteroid therapy
- topical therapy or local injections
- physiologic maintenance therapy
- low/mod dose systemic corticosteroids
When is it okay to vaccinate children after corticosteroid therapy
- high dose corticosteroids less than 14 days; vacc immediately or wait 2 weeks
- high dose corticosteroids 14/more; must wait 1 month to vacc
Immune globulin w/ live vaccines
- live vaccine should be admin 14 days b/f immoglubulin. if IVIG given b/f must revaccinate
- do not give live vaccine <3 months after immunoglobulin
