In addition to the other ingredients, the antigens have been selected by CDC for the US trivalent vaccines for the 2013-2014 flu season, and the vaccine contains the following three viruses:
- Type A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus;
- Type A(H3N2) virus antigenically like the cell-propagated prototype virus known as A/Victoria/361/2011; and,
- Type B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus.
CDC has recommended that the 2013-2014 quadrivalent vaccines (containing two Type A and two Type B influenza viruses) contain the above three viruses and a Type B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus.

What strains of flu does the 2012 - 2013 flu vaccination protect against?
For the 2012-2013 flu season in the US:This year's trivalent seasonal flu vaccines will protect against the following three strains of influenza:Type A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) ~ the "swine flu vaccine",Type A/Victoria/361/2011 (H3N2), andType B/Wisconsin/1/2010.There is also a new vaccine in the 2012-2013 flu season that is FluMist Quadrivalent. This new vaccine includes two Type B strains of flu instead of one. It contains B strains from both the B/Yamagata/16/88 and the B/Victoria/2/87 lineages in addition to the same strains of the Type A viruses (H1N1 and H3N2) that are included in the trivalent vaccines for this season. See the related questions below for more info.
Are there HPV vaccines to prevent against all cervical cancers that may be caused by HPV true are false?
The hpv vaccine does not protect you from all strains of the hpv virus. Check with your doctor on what strains are covered.
What best describes the maximum antibody level of a person's body after a flu vaccination?
The maximum antibody level after a flu vaccination varies among individuals. Generally, it peaks within a few weeks of vaccination and then gradually decreases over time. It is essential to get vaccinated annually to ensure adequate protection against seasonal flu strains.
Do vaccines prevent mumps and influenza?
Yes, vaccines are effective in preventing both mumps and influenza. The MMR vaccine protects against mumps, measles, and rubella, while the seasonal influenza vaccine is designed to protect against the most common strains of the flu virus each year. Vaccination significantly reduces the incidence of these diseases and helps prevent outbreaks, contributing to overall public health.
Why do we have to get a diffrent flu vaccine every year?
The influenza virus is in a continuous state of mutation. Each year different strains become prominent. If the educated guesses of the disease control folks are accurate, they can produce a vaccine that will be aligned with the proteins on all of the most common strains for a given year. Occasionally they get it wrong and the vaccine is only effective against a fraction of the most common strains. Because the strains are different from year to year, the previous year's vaccination is not very likely to provide immunity for the currently most common strains.
Does one dose of meningococcal prevent meningitis?
One dose of the meningococcal vaccine significantly reduces the risk of contracting meningitis caused by certain strains of the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis, but it does not provide complete protection against all strains or types of meningitis. Booster doses may be required for sustained immunity, and individuals should follow local health guidelines for vaccination schedules. It's important to consult healthcare providers for personalized advice on vaccination.
What is multivax?
Multivax is a type of multivalent vaccine designed to provide immunity against multiple strains or types of a virus or bacteria with a single formulation. It aims to enhance the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns by reducing the number of required doses and ensuring broader protection. This approach is particularly useful in addressing diseases that have various strains or subtypes, such as influenza or certain bacterial infections. By combining antigens from different pathogens, Multivax vaccines can simplify immunization schedules and potentially increase vaccination coverage.
Are you immune to Influenza after you have had it?
You are not immune to Influenza. Even getting the yearly flu vaccine is no guarantee that a person won't get the flu. You can get the flu but it won't be as bad as it could be if you hadn't received the flu vaccine.
Why doesn't a flu jab protect you for life?
A flu vaccination is only good for the season because the flu virus changes over time. Without getting into the technical details of how it works, a virus can adapt and change over time by gaining new genetic traits, making it a completely different 'virus' that causes the same disease, but is genetically different than the one before it. Because of this, a vaccination of the old flu virus will not last for life. An old flu vaccination will protect against the original, but the new strand is basically 'unknown' to your body and will cause infection.
Why do you not become immune to flu?
There are many strains of flu virus, & they are constantly mutating; you can only become immune to strains of flu that your body has already encountered, or that you have been immunized against.
Which organism is responsible for cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer is primarily caused by persistent infection with certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly HPV types 16 and 18. These high-risk HPV strains can lead to changes in cervical cells that may progress to cancer over time. Vaccination against HPV and regular cervical screening are effective measures for prevention.
Are there different strands of rabies?
Five antigenic variants of rabies strains are recognized in the United States, but unlike flu strains, one vaccine protects against all strains.
