What else can I help you with?
What is the weakened agent of disease that can provide immunity for a particular disease?
That is called a vaccination.
After having 3 hep b vaccs and still have no immunity what do you do if you get a needle stick injuy as a phlebotomist was told to go to a and e and have an injection of some kind?
If you've received three hepatitis B vaccinations and still show no immunity, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention after a needle stick injury. At the emergency department, you may receive a dose of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) along with a booster dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. This combination can help provide immediate passive immunity while your body responds to the booster. Follow-up testing and vaccination may also be recommended.
The process of vaccination?
Vaccination is the process of attempting to confer artificial immunity on an individual organism by exposing the immune system to antigens of the pathogen being vaccinated against. Vaccination does not provide nearly as good protection as natural, or acquired immunity.
Does mumps confer lifelong immunity?
Yes, mumps typically confers lifelong immunity after infection. Once a person has recovered from mumps, their immune system produces antibodies that provide protection against future infections. Vaccination with the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine also offers long-lasting immunity, although vaccine-derived immunity may require boosters in some cases.
What type of immunity is given by typhoid?
Typhoid fever confers acquired immunity, primarily through the body's adaptive immune response. After infection with the Salmonella Typhi bacteria, the immune system produces specific antibodies and memory cells that provide protection against future infections. Vaccination against typhoid can also induce a similar immune response, offering some level of immunity. However, this immunity may wane over time, necessitating booster doses for continued protection.
How does active immunity occurs?
Active immunity occurs when the immune system is exposed to a pathogen and responds by producing specific antibodies against it. This can happen naturally, through infection, or artificially, through vaccination. In both cases, the body "remembers" the pathogen, allowing for a quicker and more effective response if re-exposed in the future. This process helps provide long-term protection against diseases.
Does having the flu provide immunity against future infections"?
Having the flu does not provide complete immunity against future infections because the flu virus can mutate and change over time, making it possible to get sick with a different strain.
Which activity would stimulate the human immune system to provide protection against and invasion by a microbe?
Vaccination against chicken pox.
How is active immunity similar to passive immunity?
Active immunity is long term protection that generally lasts 20-30 years and passive immunity is immediate protection. there are two forms, naturally acquired and artificially acquired. in active immunity the naturally acquired immunity is when you suffer from the disease then recover again. the artificially acquired way is by getting a vaccination. in passive immunity, the naturally acquired way is to receive antibodies from mother in pregnancy and breastfeeding, the artificial way is to have antibodies injected in a serum for immediate response for example when you have been bitten by a poisonous animal. note they are not vaccinated.
What immunity results when millions of memory b cells remain in the body?
Memory b cells provide long term immunity for a specific disease or antigen. As an example a vaccination for hepatitis A provides memory b cells that will attack the disease when it is present and remove it.
What is similarities of active and passive immunity?
Both active and passive immunity provide protection against infections and diseases by enabling the body to recognize and respond to pathogens. They involve the immune system's production of antibodies, although active immunity results from the body's own immune response to an infection or vaccination, while passive immunity involves the transfer of antibodies from another source, such as maternal antibodies or intravenous immunoglobulin. Additionally, both types can help prevent illness and can be crucial in providing immediate or long-term protection.
If I am vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis but my boyfriend isn't vaccinated can I still get it?
Yes, the vaccination doesn't provide 100% protection.
