What is an example of a vaccine that works against more than one disease?
MMR vaccine is for preventing measles, mumps and Rubella.
What happens if a horse doesn't get a flu vaccine?
For the 3-6 months that the vaccine would have provided an improved immunity against influenza, the unvaccinated horse will be more susceptible to contracting influenza than a vaccinated horse.
Why is vitamin A given with measles vaccine?
vitamin A was thought to improve immune response to vaccine and thus it was given along with vaccine. but reaserch indicates that there was no differnec with vitaminA supplementation and without it.
What do vaccines prevent?
Vaccines prevent only the infectious diseases that they were made to prevent. For example, a vaccine for one type of flu will prevent that type of flu, but you may still get other types if you are not also vaccinated for them. This is why the seasonal flu vaccine usually contains vaccine for the three most likely types of flu that are expected to circulate at the next flu season. There are vaccines for the various types of influenza, for other viral diseases like measles, mumps and polio and for a very limited number of bacterial disease such as one common type of bacterial pneumonia. See the related questions below for more information about how vaccines work.
Who invented a vaccine for German measles?
Louis Pasteur and Emile Roux developed the first rabies vaccination in 1885. This vaccine was first used on a human on July 6, 1885, on a nine-year old boy Joseph Meister (1876-1940) who had been mauled by a rabid dog.[3]
Why is measles a more prevalent disease in Africa than in Australia?
Australia has a good modern health care system. Most of Africa does not. Ther is a vaccine for measles that children get as a matter of course in Australia. Not so, in much of Africa.
Should you get the mmr shot if you have already had measles or the mumps?
Yes, it is generally recommended to get the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine even if you've had measles or mumps. Natural infection may provide some immunity, but vaccination ensures a more robust and lasting immune response. Additionally, the vaccine helps protect against rubella, which you may not have had. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Was cpt code 90645 replaced?
Yes, CPT code 90645, which referred to the influenza virus vaccine, was replaced by updated codes to better reflect the specific formulations and administration of influenza vaccines. The current codes for influenza vaccines are more specific and provide detailed information about the vaccine type and age group. Always check the latest coding guidelines or resources for the most accurate and current information.
Is there a cure for the Measles?
Treatment for measlesSpecific treatment for measles has not been discovered.The patient will recover within a week without using any vaccine.To reduce the fever or pain acetaminophen (paracetamol) may be used.For prevention purposes vaccine is administered to the children of 18 months with sencond dose before age of 4 or 5 years.How does measles vaccine workVaccine of measles contain alive viruses (called antigens). The alive antigen can reproduce inside the human body but they do not damage host because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but can not cause serious illness.When this vaccine is injected into the human body, the T type lymphocytes (White blood cells) detect the type of viruses in it. Then B type lymphocytes produce antibodies against these viruses. The viruses reproduce inside human body therefore the lymphocytes produce more antibodies against this specific type of viruses. Antibodies bind to the viruses, stop their activity and destroy them.Now the viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against them are still present and they prevent the actual viruses (harmful) of measles to cause illness.These antibodies are memory cell for this specific type of viruses.Why vaccine is not used for cureWhen the actual viruses of vaccine enter your body, your immune system prevents you (the process is similar to that process which occurs when the vaccine viruses are injected), so you do not need vaccine. The symptoms of measles will last after 5-10 days. The vaccine is only used for prevention (and vaccine viruses do not cause actual disease).Can you get measles againIf you have caught the measles then you will not get measles again because your body already has antibodies against the measles viruses.But what are the antibodiesAntibodies are globular proteins which are present in blood. Each antibody binds to a specific antigen, antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this virus.Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this virus.Why measles vaccine is administered to the children of 18 monthsMeasles vaccine is administered to the children of 18 months because prior to that age, the baby's immune system is not mature enough to produce antibodies against the antigens of vaccine.
How has the measles vaccine prevented diesease?
Measles vaccine prevents from measles and is administered to children of 18 months with a second dose before age of 4 or 5 years. Vaccine of measles contain alive viruses (called antigens). The alive antigen can reproduce inside the human body but they do not damage host because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but can not cause serious illness. When this vaccine is injected into the human body, the T cells of lymphocytes (White blood cells) detect the type of viruses in it. Then B cells of lymphocytes produce antibodies against these viruses. The viruses reproduce inside human body therefore the lymphocytes produce more antibodies against this specific type of viruses. Antibodies bind to the viruses, stop their activity and destroy them. Now the viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against them are still present and they prevent the actual viruses (harmful) of measles to cause illness. The person who has once caught measles also has the antibodies against measles viruses after the actual viruses entered the body and caused illness. Therefore the patient will recover within a week without using the vaccine.This person can not get measles again in life because the antibodies against measeles are already produced for prevntion by catching measles once. These antibodies are memory cell for this specific type of viruses. The vaccine of measles does not cure but it is used for prevention because it helps in production of antibodies against measles without causing illness.
What vaccines do teens and college students need?
* Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) * Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) * Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine seriesThe HPV vaccine is also known as the "cervical cancer vaccine." In June 2006, ACIP recommended the HPV vaccine series for females only based on research results available at that time. If future research shows that the vaccine is also safe and effective for males, additional recommendations may be made. Older children should get the following vaccinations if they did not receive all recommended doses when younger: * Hepatitis B series * Polio series * Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) series * Varicella (chickenpox) series - A second catch-up varicella shot is now recommended for children, adolescents, and adults who have previously received one dose. Some children may need additional vaccines either due to their own specific health conditions or exposure in households to other people with age-related or health-related risks. The additional vaccines for which your child should be assessed include: * Influenza * Pneumococcal polysaccharide (PPV) * Hepatitis A == * Tetanus-Diptheria-Pertussis vaccine * Meningococcal vaccine* * HPV vaccine series * Hepatitis B vaccine series * Polio vaccine series * Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine series * Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine series * Influenza vaccine * Pneumococcal polysaccharid (PPV) vaccine * Hepatitis A vaccine series * Recommended for previously unvaccinated college freshmen living in dormitories For more information, see the related link.
