Is chloroquine a vaccine for malaria?
There is no vaccine for malaria but chloroquine is a drug of choice for suppression and therapeutic treatment of Plasmodium infection, followed by primaquine for radical care and elimination of gametocytes. Chloroquine-resistant forms of Plasmodium can be treated with mefloquine +/- artesunate, artemisinin, quinine, pyrimethane-sulfadoxine (Fansidar) and doxycycline. All of these antimalarials are only used for chemoprophylaxis and not as a vaccine. All in all, you can prevent infection with Plasmodium by using those antimalarials.
How is the chickenpox vaccine produced using the recombinant DNA technology?
They take strains of the chicken poxs and replicate it into a weaker strain so when they put it into you, your body can defeat it and create a immunity to it.
Why was Jenner's vaccine superior than other methods for conferring resistance to smallpox?
Jenner's method of using cowpox infection to confer immunity to smallpox was superior to earlier methods because it carried a significantly lowered risk of serious disease. The earlier method of using material from lesions of smallpox victims conferred immunity but at the risk of acquiring the potentially lethal disease.
When did doctors begin using vaccine?
they started using it in when it first came out
Can DDT cause malaria?
No, DDT does not cause malaria. DDT is actually used to control the mosquito populations that spread malaria by killing the mosquitoes that carry the disease. Using DDT in a controlled and targeted manner can help reduce the incidence of malaria.
Does longterm using Betamethasone caused hardening od skin?
Topical betamethasone is more likely to cause thinning of the skin.
What is used to make measles vaccine?
The MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) is a live, attenuated (weakened), combination vaccine that protects against the measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. It was first licensed in the combined form in 1971 and contains the safest and most effective forms of each vaccine. It is made by taking the measles virus from the throat of an infected person and adapting it to grow in chick embryo cells in a laboratory. As the virus becomes better able to grow in the chick embryo cells, it becomes less able to grow in a child's skin or lungs. When this vaccine virus is given to a child it replicates only a little before it is eliminated from the body. This replication causes the body to develop an immunity that, in 95% of children, lasts for a lifetime. A second dose of the vaccine is recommended to protect those 5% who did not develop immunity in the first dose and to give "booster" effect to those who did develop an immune response.

Is the Swine Flu vaccine a spray?
There are H1N1/09 flu vaccines for three different administrative routes now. The three formulations of vaccine are for intranasal, intramuscular and now also intradermal administration. The intranasal spray is misted into the nose, the intramuscular injection is the well-known "flu shot"/"flu jab", and the intradermal is provided with its own micro-injection system using a tiny needle to inject the vaccine just under the layers of the skin. The flu vaccines for injection are made with an inactivated H1N1 virus, meaning that the virus has been altered in such a way that it cannot reproduce in the body and cause infection (it is "dead"). In contrast, the intranasal mist is made with an attenuated or weakened virus which provides the same immunity with a less invasive administration. LAIV (live attenuated influenza vaccine) does not have to be injected to create the immunity like the inactivated vaccines. But as a weakened virus, it is also incapable of causing influenza illness. Children 10 years old and under need two vaccinations, regardless of the type of vaccine, to provide them with the immunity since they have immature immune systems. One initial vaccination followed in about a month by a second vaccination "booster", will, in about 2 or 3 weeks after that, have caused their immune systems to produce enough antibodies to give them full immunity.
