What else can I help you with?
Can you get Diphtheria from the vaccine?
No. Because what is given is not a the whole virus. All have weakened or partial viruses and only enough is given to produce an immune response.
Do children need a second dose of the vaccine for Swine Flu?
Yes. Children under ten who have an immature immune system need to take two doses of the vaccine to get the appropriate immune response that will enable them to be immunized against influenza. The recommendations are that the first dose of the swine flu vaccine should be given and then in around a month a second dose is given. In approximately three weeks after the second dose, full immunity should be established if the child is otherwise healthy with a fully functioning immune system.
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.
Which vaccine type is not given usually to people whose immune system is compromised?
Live attenuated vaccines are typically not given to people with compromised immune systems because they contain weakened forms of the virus that may still cause illness in those with weakened immune responses.
How do you spell immuned?
The adjective forms are "immune" and "immunized" (given vaccine).
What if tdap was given subcutaneously?
If the Tdap vaccine were given subcutaneously instead of intramuscularly, it could potentially lead to differences in the immune response and efficacy. Subcutaneous administration may result in reduced absorption and a lower concentration of the vaccine components in the bloodstream, possibly leading to a less robust immune response. Additionally, the safety profile and potential for local reactions could differ, necessitating further studies to evaluate the impact of such a change in administration route. Overall, maintaining the intramuscular route is essential for ensuring optimal vaccine effectiveness.
How does the TB vaccine work?
All vaccinations work on the same principle. By injecting into the body a material which is chemically similar to a given disease organism (such as the tuberculosis baccilus) the immune system is activated, and will prepare an immune response to that disease before the actual disease organism ever enters the body. Therefore there is a faster and more effective immune response if the disease is ever actually encountered.
Why measles vaccination is done after 9 months of age?
When measles vaccine is given too early, maternal antibodies that the baby got before birth interfere with the body's ability to develop an immune response to the vaccine. This blunting from maternal antibodies doesn't affect all vaccines, but hampers response to the MMR and varicella vaccines, so these are given after twelve months (not 9 months).
step one of the covid-19 vaccine is?
What is the first stage of COVID-19 vaccine development? The first stage is a Phase 1 clinical trial. In Phase 1, the vaccine is given to healthy volunteers to test if it's safe and induces an immune response against the virus. Although, COVID-19 vaccine is free of charge for everyone. :>
Why is anti-measles vaccine given at 9 months?
anti measles vaccine is given at 9 months of age because before that the child has already got anti measles antibodies derived from her mother and the vaccine would be unable to elicit the response. At 9 months , we assume (in case of developing nations) that there are no maternal antimeasles antibodies left
Why do some children fail to respond to a measles vaccine if given too early?
This happens because before the age of 6 months the child may still have some of the mother's antibodies from either passing through the placenta or from breast feeding. This means that the antibodies will recognise the vaccination as foreign and so destroy the cells so it does not work ~ hope that helps babe :)
What is it called when a dead or inactive microorganisms that are given to children to help prevent them from catching a serious illness?
It is called a vaccine, which helps stimulate the body's immune response to produce immunity against specific diseases.
