The measles vaccine works by introducing a weakened or inactive form of the measles virus into the body. This triggers the immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight off the virus if the person is exposed to it in the future. This helps to prevent the person from getting sick with measles.
A flu vaccine works by stimulating the body's immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight off the influenza virus. When a person is vaccinated, their immune system is trained to recognize the virus and respond quickly if they are exposed to it in the future, helping to prevent infection or reduce the severity of symptoms.
Yes, the hepatitis B vaccine can be given to someone with hepatitis B. It is still recommended in order to prevent reinfection with other strains of the virus and to protect against potential complications of chronic hepatitis B.
No, there is currently no vaccine for the Enterobacteria Phage T4 virus. This virus infects bacteria, not humans, so it is not a target for vaccine development.
No , fungus can't cause measles as it is viral disesase .
The Hepatitis B vaccine is given to newborns shortly after birth to protect them from the Hepatitis B virus, which can be transmitted from mother to baby during childbirth. By vaccinating newborns, it helps prevent the spread of the virus and reduces the risk of developing chronic Hepatitis B infection later in life.
The drug used for the measles vaccine is typically a live attenuated virus called the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. It helps the immune system develop protective antibodies against the measles virus, preventing infection and providing immunity.
Vaccination against the measles virus is highly effective, but it may not protect individuals who are immunocompromised or have certain medical conditions that affect their immune response. Additionally, if a person does not receive the full vaccination series or if the vaccine is administered after exposure to the virus, it may not provide adequate protection. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the vaccine can decline over time in some individuals, particularly those who do not receive a booster shot.
Antibiotics can only work against bacterium, whereas measles are caused by a virus.
AnswerBecause it does not help in production of the antibodies against other diseases inside the human body.ExplanationMeasles vaccine contain measles viruses (alive) called antigen. The measles virus inside it are alive but do not cause this disease because they are weakened in laboratory to the point where they are still alive and able to reproduce but do not cause serious illness.When this vaccine is inserted inside human body, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of vaccine viruses (measles) and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against measles viruses.The measles viruses of vaccine are alive so they reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the measles viruses of vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against the measles viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual measles viruses.These antibodies can not prevent from other virus because every virus has different structure so different antibodies are needed to destroy it. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this pathogen.Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this pathogen.So the other diseases are prevented by other vaccine having the viruses of this disease which help the production of antibodies against this specific disease.The viruses of vaccines may be killed or alive.
A vaccine works by producing antibodies to immunize the body against the virus that vaccine is intended to protect against.
The vaccine against measles was developed by two scientists named John Enders and Thomas Peebles in 1963. They isolated the measles virus and used it to create a live attenuated vaccine that has since been used globally to prevent measles infections.
Attenuated whole-agent vaccine
MMR is measles mumps and rubella. If you give a strain of measles to a child, it's immune system develops anti bodies that destroy the virus, the anti bodies will stay around for ever and the child will be immune to measles as the anti bodies will prevent the measles virus from spreading.
Antibodies for measles don't work against chickenpox virus because antibody for measles virus can not bind to chickenpox virus. 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. When a measles vaccine is inserted inside human body, or when someone has measles, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of viruses and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against this specific type of virus. If viruses of the vaccine are alive they will reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the virus (of specific disease which needs prevention) which was in the vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against this disease viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual disease causing viruses. Antibodies are specific: An infection with the measles virus means that the person makes antibodies only against measles. It doesn't make any antibodies against chickenpox too.
MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) is the vaccine used to prevent rubella.
Virus known as the Measles Virus, both the disease and virus share the same name.
No, the "pneumonia vaccine" is to protect against several types of pneumonia that are common and will not protect against the A-H1N1/09 virus. See related questions below.
