What is injected in a vaccination?
Vaccinations typically contain a small, weakened, or inactivated form of a virus or bacteria, or a piece of the virus or bacteria, known as an antigen. This antigen stimulates the immune system to produce a response and build immunity against the targeted disease, without causing the disease itself. Other components in a vaccination may include preservatives, stabilizers, and adjuvants.
Passive immunity does not last as long as active immunity?
Active Immunity is subdivided into two.First, the Natural Active Immunity which last a lifetime because our memory T-cells recognized the pathogen in our first exposure thus it was able to make anti-bodies againts it.Second,the Artificial Active Immunity which is commonly introduced to us by meas of vaccine.Examples of these are BCG,DPT,Hepatitis Vaccine,Tetanus Toxoid and OPV,these vaccine may contain LAM(Live Attenuated Microorganism) or dead microorganism that are being introduced to our body artificially that leads to activation of memory T-cells to also form anti-bodies, on the other hand it does not protect us for a lifetime.Serum Levels must be obtained and a booster shot is suggested in Hepatitis Vaccine after four years from the last dose recieved.
What micro organism causes measles?
The measles virus, specifically the Measles morbillivirus, is responsible for causing measles in humans. It is highly contagious and is spread through respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes of an infected person. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent measles.
What is in the lyme disease booster?
The Lyme disease booster vaccination is typically a repeat dose of the initial vaccine to help maintain immunity against Lyme disease. It may contain inactivated or components of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, the causative agent of Lyme disease, to stimulate the immune system to produce protective antibodies. The booster helps to ensure that the body continues to recognize and fight off any future exposure to the bacteria.
Do animal bites have anaerobic organisms in them?
About two-thirds of animal bites are found to contain anaerobic disease-producing organisms
How are immunity and vaccination related?
Vaccination is designed to give you immunity to a particular disease. A dead or weakened culture of a disease is introduced into the body, not enough to harm but enough for the body to prepare its defence and create an immunity. Should the body then be exposed to the disease later it will have its defence ready.
What a effective development plan should contain and the length of time that it shoukld cover?
A effective development plan should contain ?
Why do vaccination produce active immunity?
vaccinations dont always work. they can actually kill people. vaccinations contain dead cells which causes your white blood cells to attack and try to build up an immunity to whatever vaccine you got. but most of the time the cells arent actually dead and your body wont know how to react. so do some reserch before getting your next flu shot, or whatever shot your getting. the only shots i trust are the tetnis shots.

What are examples of artificial active immunity?
Active immunity is acquired from vaccinations or from infection against a pathogen. The next time you encounter the same pathogen your body has built memory against it and will be able to fight it much more efficiently. Passive immunity is primarily through a mother to a baby or fetus. Through the placenta the mother transfers her immunity (IgG antibodies) to her fetus. Also through breast milk she can although the placenta is much more so. The baby has her/his immunity from the mother but it only lasts a few months because the baby hasn't developed his/her own immunity.

Do the immunosuppressed need one or two vaccines for swine flu?
You should consult your doctor to get the answer specific to your condition. In some cases with immunosuppression no number of vaccinations are enough to produce a proper immune response for full immunity. It is usually recommended that you do get the vaccinations, but for most types of immunosuppression you can not use the nasal spray vaccines which contain "live" attenuated virus particles. Even after a vaccination, it is recommended that you should continue to follow all other precautions to avoid getting the flu, such as hand washing and staying out of crowded places, etc. since your suppressed immune system may not be able to provide any immunity.
