Who discovered the vaccine for it and when was it discovered?
Density. Its considered a physical property because of the amount of mass/volume. Its an intensive physical property because you can measure density of solution without changing its chemical identify, it observable. ... Because a material that expands takes up a larger volume and it density decreases.Dec 10, 2014

Do you use a tuberculin syringe to give flu shots?
No, a tuberculin syringe is intended for use in intradermal injections and the flu shot is given intramuscularly. The needle on a tuberculin syringe is not the right size.
What are the risk of taking medicine and being vaccinated?
Hey there!
There are no risks for the chickenpox virus. If you are still concerned, ask a legit doctor if there are any ingredients that might cause an allergic reaction, and get an allergy test done just to be on the safer side.
In conclusion, please get vaccinated unless you have a legit medically confirmed reason!
I hope this response was satisfactory for you! 😄
What happens if you get a vaccination twice?
Getting a vaccination twice sometimes happens when there is a doubt about whether or not a person has had the vaccination before. In these cases, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a new vaccination, and says there is little to no effect from having a repeat vaccination.
Can chickenpox vaccine cause cold sores?
Chickenpox (and other infectious diseases) do notactually cause fever. The fever is caused by the person's own immune system trying to fight the virus (or bacteria). These infectious organisms usually reproduce fastest near normal body temperature; by raising the body temperature the immune system slows their reproduction, making it easier to eliminate them.
If the fever is mild it is best to leave it alone and let it do its job. Use of damp cloths on the forehead or sucking ice cubes to make the patient more comfortable should be all that is needed.
Only if the fever is causing extreme discomfort or gets to about 104F (life threatening range) should other measures be taken to reduce the fever, and the advice of a medical professional should always be sought in such cases before taking action. Remember that children with chickenpox should never take aspirin, as it could cause Reye's syndrome.
How many people died of polio in 1952?
At itâ??s time (prior to 1955), Polio was a major childhood disease and a major killer and crippler of young people. In 1950 alone ,3,145 deaths were reported with more than 57,628 cases reported. Although the virus had been extant for millennia, it only reached epidemic stages in the 20th century.
Which vaccine is given to a child after he is born?
Every vaccine your doctor recommends. If you're unsure of which vaccines to have administered to your child you ought to ask a doctor, not the internet.
As a side note, if you're worried that vaccines may lead to problems like autism then don't be; the Wakefield study that first started this spurious claim has (finally) been officially retracted by The Lancet.
Does a vaccine contain dead diseases?
Yes, the kind given by injection are considered "dead", because they are in an inactive state, they don't make you sick. Other vaccines can be made with live "attenuated" viruses, meaning they are active but only partially, since they have been treated to be too weak to cause disease in people who have otherwise healthy immune systems.
Why did they invent the polio vaccine?
Vaccines PREVENT you from catching a disease- MUCH better than curing you after you catch it! Within the past few years, vaccination has eradicated the disease of smallpox- it not longer exists, and people will not longer die from it.
Does the gardasil shot prevent genital warts?
Yes, but not all. Gadasil has antigens from 4 different HPV types. 2 of those are the common causes of genital warts. The other 2 are for cervical cancers. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, there are over a 100 types of HPV. Many are harmless, but some do cause cervical cancer and genital warts. So, you still need to practice safe sex to protect yourself.
How do you make an injection hurt less?
Unfortunatley some injections do hurt but most of them don't. Sometimes people get themselves so worked up about injections when there is no need. All you have to do is the following
don't look at the needle
think of someting that makes you happy
stare at a spot on the wall
relax - it will be over in a couple of seconds and you will realise that you barely felt a thing
Can you get the flu vaccination after you have had the flu?
First, to be sure your question is fully answered and understood, the flu vaccinations are for prevention of infection with the exact type of flu that is contained in the vaccine, so if you have already been ill with the flu then there is no need to vaccinate to prevent that same flu, since your immune system will naturally develop immunity to future infections by that same virus from having had the flu without a vaccination.
But, since there are so many different types of flu viruses, and since usually no lab testing is done to determine or confirm the exact strain of virus that has made you ill, then you will still need to get the vaccination for the seasonal flu, which, in most locations of the world, will contain vaccine against the three most prevalent flu viruses circulating at that time. The vaccination will be still needed to protect you from any of those other flu viruses that you have not yet been exposed to.
So, to answer: Yes, you can get the flu vaccination after you have the flu unless you are not fully recovered and still have a fever. It will not hurt you to receive a vaccine for a virus that you have already been exposed to or that has already made you ill. Your immune system will just say, "Been there done that" and go to work on creating immunity to any other viruses in the vaccine that it has not seen before.
Why does a vaccination protect against infection?
A vaccin is a weakend version of the virus, so the human body can make itself resistant against it, without getting the symptoms of the illness/disease.
So your body will be resistant against virusses, as it "recognizes"(Because it made anti-virus against this typical kind of virus the first time) the virus, when it enters the body, it uses the anti-virus cells made earlier and then duplicates/copys them to kill the virus.
Why vaccines are not taken altogether?
Opponents of vaccinations believe that they (vaccines) have killed and harmed many people, or that they are some sort of government plot. Allergies, asthma, retardation, autism, Down Syndrome, etc. have been attributed to vaccines, although there is little to no scientific evidence for most of these claims. Often what they also fail to consider is that the diseases themselves can cause actual harm and death and, when vaccination rates fall, these communicable diseases reappear.
There has been much Propaganda in the popular press to this effect, resulting in a large decrease in vaccination rates in many countries, including England and Nigeria. In England (and parts of the US) there have been large outbreaks of previously controlled diseases such as measles and mumps, resulting in many deaths. In parts of Africa there has been a resurgence of polio, which had nearly been eradicated through vaccine use until the numbers of vaccinations became so reduced.
See the link below (Jenny McCarthy Body Count) to see how destructive the anti-vaccination movement has been.
How many people did the polio vaccine kill?
There are no exact figures, but, as the most common serious side effect is due to a allergic reaction to the vaccine, and that reaction occurs less than 1 time per million doses administered, the number of fatalities directly due to the vaccine itself is extremely small.
The OPV (activated polio virus) causes polio just over 2 in a million times. The IPV (inactivated polio virus) does not cause polio at all. IPV is now the standard vaccine given in countries where polio is no longer present - OPV is the standard where polio is still endemic (as it is a bit more effective than the IPV in promoting resistance).
Overall, in the 50+ year history of the various polio vaccines, I would estimate that the total number of deaths linked to the vaccine number in the low hundreds, almost all of them due to uncontrolled allergic reactions. Which is a very low risk, considering that upwards of 20 billion vaccines have been given.
What are some benefits of a vaccination that could desensitize an Rh plus situation?
- Decreased risk in pregnancies with different blood types.
- Decrease in Rhesus disease
- Allowing easier blood transfusions between Rh+ and Rh-.
What is the argument surrounding the Gardasil vaccine?
There are several different arguments surrounding theGardasil vaccines, many of them based on emotion rather than science.
First, Gardasil is the vaccine that is designed to protect women from 4 different types of HPV. There are over 100 different types, but there shots are supposed to protect you from the 4 most likely to cause cancer.
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease. So, many conservative ( and religious) groups believe that if your child is being abstinent till marriage then there is no need for this drug. However, non-abstinence shouldn't be punished with the death penalty (i.e. cervical cancer). And not all sex is consensual--should a girl who is raped be further punished by cervical cancer?
There are also a lot of "side effects" that are associated with any drug. No serious side effects have been shown to be caused Gardasil.
What is the difference between Drugs and Medicines and Vaccines?
Drugs are the chemical molecules which are used to cure some imbalance in the humanbody. this drugs will not involve in the any immune proliferation. and once disease maybe get cured by the drug we have the chance to regain.
Vaccines are the parts of microbes, microbes in killed live or attenuated form of micro organism, which are directly affecting immune system or proliferating the immune system by this we are getting persistence to the disease. once the person has been administrated with the vaccine means he may not get disease again.
and drugs are taking after the observing of the symptoms and vaccines are taking before the symptoms and.. vaccines are working on the principle "prevention is better-then cure".
and medicine is the crude term for the denoting the all types of drugs in genrally. it is not have any specification.
Should you exercise after a flu shot?
There are certain situations where it would be appropriate to get a flu shot after having had the flu. See the group of related questions below for information on these circumstances and the reasons this may be needed. The risk of problems with the flu, especially for those in high risk groups, far outweighs the very minimal risk of getting a vaccination.
If you are 100% sure from lab testing that the flu you had is the same as the vaccination, then there would be no reason to get the shot. Since the seasonal flu shots contain vaccine for three different types of flu, then the odds that you already had all three is very low. It will not hurt you to get a flu shot for the type of flu you already had, so to be on the safe side, go ahead and get the vaccination.
Can vaccination cure hepatitis b virus?
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (ww w.ultimatelifeclinic. com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
A vaccine is used in medicine to enhance or induce immunity to a particular disease. It usually contains an agent that resembles the disease-causing microorganism, and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe or its toxins. The body's immune system recognizes the vaccine as foreign, and destroys it. It also preserves a memory of it so that, if it encounters it again, it can easily recognize and destroy it in later encounters.
Vaccines have been used to eradicate smallpox completely, have greatly diminished the occurrence of many other diseases, and have reduced the death and disfigurement they used to cause. Polio (and the paralysis that it causes ) is now almost a thing of the past, and congenital deformities due to rubella (German measles) is now quite rare.
Some vaccines are given after exposure to disease; rabies vaccine is an example of this. Rabies infection was once 100% lethal; it still is if the vaccine is not given in time.
There are several types of vaccines, and they are generally made from dead or inactivated organisms (bacteria or viruses), or from their chemical constituents.
KILLED: Some vaccines contain microorganisms that have been destroyed with chemicals or heat. Examples include Hepatitis A, influenza, cholera, Bubonic Plague, polio (Salk injectable vaccine) and rabies.
ATTENUATED: Other vaccines contain microorganisms that have been weakened and are no longer virulent, or use very similar but non-disease causing organisms. Most of these are viruses. These vaccines generally produce the strongest and longest-lasting immunity, and are preferred in healthy adults. Examples include yellow fever, measles, rubella, mumps, influenza, tuberculosis (BCG), typhoid and polio (Sabin oral).
TOXOID: Some vaccines target the toxic compounds (toxoids) produced by microorganisms which cause illness rather than the micro-organism itself. Examples include tetanus and diphtheria.
SUBUNIT: Other vaccines use a fragment of a micro-organism to induce an immune response rather than using the entire micro-organism. These are usually proteins from the capsule of a virus. Examples include hepatitis B, HPV (human papilloma virus which causes Cervical cancer) and influenza vaccines are also available in this form of vaccine.
CONJUGATE: A newer type of vaccine in which the immune system is taught to recognize the polysaccharide outer coats of some bacteria. An example is Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib). This organism is a bacterium, not a virus, despite its name.
ADJUVANTED: Adjuvanted vaccines for some microbes are available in the US. The US has, however chosen not to use adjuvants in flu vaccinations. But adjuvanted flu vaccines have been safely and successfully used in some European countries for years. These have an additive that enhances the effectiveness of the vaccine, allows for smaller doses since less is needed per dose to get the same immune response, and that saves money per dose as well as allows faster production of enough to go around. In times of a need for rapid development of a vaccine, this helps reduce the dose of each vaccination making a little go a long way. The adjuvant substance is often squalene, made from shark liver oil. There is no proven adverse effect of use of adjuvants, although it is a concern (appropriate or not) of many people.
OTHER: Some vaccines have a trace amount of a preservative called thimerosal. This is necessary for multi-dose vials to prevent growth of unwanted organisms. Single dose vials and syringes usually don't need this preservative (in flu vaccines). People have concern about thimerosal because they have heard it contains mercury. There is a trace amount of mercury in the thimerosal, although this has been used without adverse effects. The amount of mercury in a dose of vaccines with thimerosal preservative is equivalent to a meal of fish. The risk of having a problem with thimerosal is much lower than the risk of using a vaccine without a preservative.

When a microorganism (antigen) is introduced into the body, our immune system produces antibody specific to that microorganism. The disease-causing microorganisms you receive through vaccination are killed, weakened, or modified to avoid making you develop the diseases, but adequate enough for antibody production. Those antibodies will fight the microorganisms should you contract them in the future so you don't get sick from them.
Can you take alcohol after Swine Flu vaccine?
Maybe. Immediately following delivery of a vaccine, your body will be working hard on creating a response and defense to the microbe (such as the H1N1 virus) in the vaccine. For this reason, there is no good reason to add extra strain to your body, and especially the immune system, while they are working to provide your immunity. The major organs and tissues of the immune system are the thymus, liver, bone marrow, tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen, and blood. Alcohol, a substance known to sometimes put a strain on the liver, may be an ingredient in some cough medicines. Use of cough medicine, in the amounts indicated on the medication label, would not be problematic. However, if even this can be avoided, it would be the best way to help your body to do its job of developing defenses to the virus in the swine flu vaccine.
Is it safe to get the pneumonia vaccine if your sick?
Most recommendations are that you should not take flu vaccinations if you have an active infection with fever or other serious symptoms.
If no fever, and symptoms are mild, you could get the vaccination, but since each case is different, it would be best to speak to your doctor who is treating your pneumonia.
You can take the vaccination if you are taking antibiotics, there is no drug interaction problem, but if you still have active pneumonia, ask your doctor's advice about the flu shot. They may suggest that in your case the risk of getting the flu on top of pneumonia at the current stage of your lung infection, would be higher than the risk of an improper immune response to the vaccination and therefore will want you to take the vaccination now.
