It is done this way because it is an acceptable method. Also if the arm becomes sore, most people will not be affected since most are right handed.

What color is polio vaccine?

The oral Polio vaccine is usually pink. A vaccine vial monitor (VVM) is a thermochromic label put on vials containing vaccines which gives a visual indication of whether the vaccine has been kept at a temperature which preserves its effectiveness. Some times the vaccine is exposed to dry ice or to room temperature and that can be read by the VVM label.

How many seconds is a vaccine?

A vaccine is a medicine for immunity and does not have "seconds". If you mean how many seconds does it take for the vaccine to be administered, then the injection of a vaccine usually only takes 5-10 seconds to put the vaccine into your body with a needle since the amount of vaccine needed is so small. If the vaccine is available in a nasal mist, the inhalation of a nasal mist takes as long as it takes for you to sniff. If you mean how long will the immunity last before you need a booster vaccination, you should check with your doctor about the type of vaccine you are getting (e.g. influenza, bacterial pneumonia, etc.). Depending on your age and the type of vaccine, some vaccinations need boosters every so often. Your doctor can tell you how long the one you are getting lasts.

How will you know if a vaccine is fake or not?

I am a Filipino and poor people make fake vaccines to make money. Usually, vaccines are expensive. But some people realize that there are some vaccines which are cheap. They will think that they should buy that so they will not waste their money. But they didn't know that the vaccine they bought was fake. This is also the reason why people die by just taking vaccines. A real and normal vaccine is usually bigger than a fake vaccine. Sometimes poor people change the ingredients. Most people don't care about the ingredients put, but if you're wise enough, you will see that this vaccine is fake. But how do we know that this vaccine with different ingredients is the fake one? That remains questionable for now. But the important thing is you should learn how to identify fake and real medicines, not only vaccines. When you know it's a fake vaccine, don't even try it. Just don't pick it, especially when your parents asked you to buy medicines. You don't need to try it just to prove that you're right and I'm wrong. When you take a fake vaccine, there is a very big possibility that you can lead to your death.


Which was the first rabies vaccine to be invented?

I think Godzilla did because he had rabies. Then he told Snow White and the seven dwarfs to put on a show because he was the first one to create rabies vaccine. They put on the best rabies show ever and that's when animal scientists stole his idea and said they made it. True story I read it in a animal science book.


Why are some diseases not suitable for a vaccine?

Simply put there are to many diseases. Some of the existing vaccines, pneumovax for example,only protect against a certain bacteria, and the flu vaccine is redeveloped each year to protect against the strain that is predicted to be the most prevalent. Others, like shingles vaccine protect against the disease, do NOT guarantee immunity but help to lessen the severity and pain associated with the disease.


Is the Swine Flu vaccine effective against the regular flu?

Each flu vaccine is targeted to specific varieties of the flu virus. Unless another type of flu is very similar to the targeted virus, it will not be prevented with that vaccine. Having said that, since the 2010-2011 flu season through to the current 2011-2012 season, the "regular" seasonal flu vaccine, which always contains three types of flu vaccine (trivalent), has included the swine flu along with the other two varieties to which the vaccine was targeted. So in that sense, at least currently, the swine flu vaccination is effective against the regular flu since vaccines for each type are put together in one vaccination.
