What else can I help you with?
Does active immunity involve a person becoming immune to a pathogen as a result of having a disease?
by vaccination
Which person most likely will fail to develop active immunity following vaccination?
hepatitis B immune globulin 2 months ago and MMR vaccine given today
Why should booster vaccination be given?
Booster vaccinations are given to stimulate the immune response and allow an animal or person to have continued immunity without having to go through the whole vaccination process again.
What does HBsAg reactive but HbsAb is negative means?
HBsAg reactive means the person has been infected with Hepatitis B virus. HbsAb negative indicates that the person does not have immunity against Hepatitis B. This combination suggests an active Hepatitis B infection without immunity.
Possibility of getting hepatitis b after vaccination?
If a person is infected with Hepatitis B, the vaccine will have no effect. The vaccine contains proteins from the virus, and these are already present in the person's body, and the immune system has already responded to them.
What will happen if anti-HBs is reactive?
If anti-HBs is reactive, it indicates that the person is immune to the hepatitis B virus either due to vaccination or a past infection. This means that the person has developed antibodies against the hepatitis B surface antigen, providing protection against future hepatitis B infections.
A positive tuberculin skin test shows cellular immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis How could a person acquire this immunity?
having the actual disease
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.
What is the acts or practice of inoculating someone with vaccine as a protection against disease?
The act or practice of inoculating someone with a vaccine as a protection against disease is called a vaccination. This is used to build immunity to specific diseases that could be detrimental to society and to the person who is not vaccinated.
What type of immunity occurs when a person receives the MMR vaccination?
When you are inoculated for MMR, your body develops antibodies to Measles, Mumps and Rubella. The antibodies help you resist those diseases.
Can hepatitis B be spread by sex and can a baby be infected?
Yes, hepatitis B can be spread through unprotected sex with an infected person due to the exchange of bodily fluids. A baby can also become infected during childbirth if the mother is a carrier of the virus. Routine vaccination for hepatitis B is recommended for infants to prevent transmission from infected mothers.
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.
