Vaccinations

viruses dont have mtabolism.Drugs must stop one of the steps of replication but that ocurre inside the host cell.Viruses mutate faster than bacteria creatin generation that are resistant to antiviraltherapy or difficult to find one.

The recommendations in the US are to get the first dose between 12 and 15 months old, and the second dose between ages 4 and 6 years. It can also be used to prevent infection if given within five days of exposure.

If a child or adult hasn't been vaccinated yet, s/he should get the first dose now, and the second dose at least three months apart if the patient is under 13, and at least four weeks apart for patients 13 and older.

If someone has had just one dose, they should get a second dose.

Yes! Keep in mind that no drugs, vaccines, or supplements is 100% free of side effects or adverse reactions. Like many things in life, you have to weight to risks versus the benefits. Many people tend to forget how bad were these diseases before the wide spread use of vaccines. Now, because of the vaccines, we don't see these diseases very often, but we do hear people with adverse reactions telling their stories loudly. Just like other things in life, bad news tend to spread like wildfire, but you'd never hear people who didn't have any problems.

The name "measles" is probably derived from the middle English word, maseles (plural mesels), which means spot.

In an adult, as long as it isn't in the same arm on the same day, and there is no allergic reaction, it will likely cause no problems. The worst might be more than usual soreness, redness and swelling at the injection site.

If you don't get a flu vaccination, either a shot or nasal mist, then you are putting yourself at an unnecessary health risk. It is proven that the risk of having a problem with the vaccine is so extremely low compared to the risk of catching and getting really sick from the flu (36,000 people a year in the US die from the seasonal flu), that it is ill-advised to avoid vaccination. The numbers speak for themselves.

If you wouldn't bet your life in a poker game, you shouldn't gamble with it with serious diseases, either. You not only put yourself in unnecessary danger, you also put loved ones and others to whom you can spread it at the same or higher risk. It is just common sense.

1) Antibodies bind to the pathogen to prevent them from entering or damaging cells

2) Antibodies coat the pathogen stimulating the removal of pathogen by macrophages and other cells

3) They trigger destruction of pathogens by stimulating other immune responses such as complement pathway

Vaccines inject a weak amount of the pathogen that causes the infection into you. This is not enough to harm you. This causes your bodies lymphocyte white blood cells to produce antibodies that lock onto antigens on the pathogen, marking then out for your phagocyte white blood cells to destroy them.

This means that next time you get infected with the pathogen, your body recognises it quicker so it can produce the antibodies much faster and destroy the pathogen before you express any symptoms.

The drug manufacturers and drug package insert data indicate that there are no known drug interaction problems with the flu vaccine and other medications. There should be no reason to avoid your regular prescribed medications after getting the flu vaccine.

If you take medications that cause immunosuppression or have disease that causes suppression of your immune system, then you should consult your prescribing physician before vaccination to find out whether you should use a vaccine and, if so, which type of vaccine you should use (e.g., live attenuated vaccine vs inert vaccine).

The meningitis vaccination is given into the deltoid muscle, or the upper arm.

Most people can get a flu vaccination with mild illnesses as long as they do not have a high fever. However, if you have the flu, you should be resting in bed and not out in public spreading the disease. After you have gone a full 24 hours without a fever (while taking no fever reducing medicines), you are considered no longer contagious, according to the US CDC. If you had an especially difficult bout of the flu with serious complications, you should ask your health care professional when you will be ready for vaccination, but usually only the above guidelines will apply.

The following are preventable pediatric illnesses that are vaccinated against in the recommended vaccination schedule from the CDC:

Diptheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), bacteria such as H. flu and S. pneumoniae that cause serious meningitis/pneumonia/blood infections, influenza, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, polio, chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella, meningitis caused by N. meningitidis, and human papilloma virus (HPV) which causes cervical cancer.

In addition, there are many other vaccines available to people traveling to international areas with high rates of different illnesses.

The doseage changes each year with the seasonal flu vaccines based upon human and laboratory trials to see what doseages are effective against the selected strains of flu that are expected to be predominant during the upcoming flu season. The swine flu vaccine is still (August 2009) being tested to determine this by the drug manufacturers. It is expected that this will be tested and determined for vaccine release very soon.

If injected it is given in the muscle as an intramuscular injection. It can also be taken as a nasal mist that is sniffed.

Vaccines are actually good for you. They help the body develop anti-bodies to fight off deadly and crippling diseases. With millions of vaccines given through the decades, there has been no proof that vaccines are the cause of many of the side effects that some claim.

Some feel that vaccines are so bad for you because of what many believe to be toxic ingredients. Several people have claimed that their children have gotten diseases from them to like cancer and autism.

the person who takes the vaccine wont die of polio (it causes weak muscles, affects the spinal cord,and might paralyze you), measles (causes a rash, runny nose ,fever, and it mostly lasts for 2 weeks) or tuberculosis (otherwise said as TB, it attacks the lungs and may cause death).

also when a virus attacks and there is a vaccine already injected into the human arm, the white blood cells are ready to fight and when the cells defeat the virus, the immune system grows stronger!

EXTRA FACTS ABOUT YOUR SELF AS VIRUSES

when you have cold (for example) that means you cant have that cold again (millions of different types of colds, so you get colds more then once)and as soon as that sickness is gone from your immune system, your body forms antibody's to defend yourself from the sickness you already got!

how our body defends us from sickness and viruses is that every time your white blood cells fight a sickness, the white blood cells become stronger, and the mucous in your nose or the hairs in your nose catches or traps the sickness until you sneeze it out into the air (the viruses are very small and travel throughout the air) and the saliva in your mouth helps trap the virus and makes it decay.

i hope this information helped you a lot :D have a nice day

A vaccination is usually a dead virus that has been administered at a specific dosage to trigger the body to produce antibodies. As a result of this production, the body will recognize the same virus in the future and "attack" it and kill it before it can make the body sick.

A vaccine contains complete or partial microbes or the toxins they produce. It stimulates the immune system to raise antibodies against the antigens on the disease carrying organisms. A pathogen against which the body has been vaccinated alerts memory cells so causing the immune system to launch an instant defence.

I think you really mean where is 0.67 mL on a 1 mL syringe? If so, and you are measuring Frontline (another assumption), you would be better off to get yourself a Monodose Teaspoon measure from Amazon ($1.50). You would be dosing about 1/8th of a teaspoon for the 0.67mL dose. It isn't exact, but very close and will still do the job.

The vaccine for chicken pox came out in the year 1995, because many people were dying from this disease. But only adults were dying from it and they say very few kids died from it.

February 30, 19990.543. If you are wondering why this is a dog that can lick oysters with its finger then pumpkins are green and have did you know that the tree in my backyard is purple and french fries taste good with grass cakes.
The first vaccine was given in 1975.
1995 in the United States

Hello there fellow user!

Firstly, pertussis or whooping cough is caused by a bacterium called Bordetella pertussis, not a virus. It is a highly contagious cough and a pretty bad one too.

Secondly, the vaccine against this disease is given in a combination with Diptheria and tetanus called the DPT vaccine. It includes toxoid proteins of Diptheria and tetanus bacteria, and either pertussis antigen proteins or the whole killed bacteria responsible for pertussis in combination.

Hope this helped you plenty! 😄

I was working as a Pharmacist at Wayne Apothecaries, a Detroit Professional Pharmacy, on the date that Poliomyelitis Vaccine first because available. That was April 18, 1952. So it was on that date or shortly thereafter that the first shot for Polio was given on the East side of Detroit.

Vaccines, medicines containing a preparation of weakened or dead microbes of the kind that cause a particular disease, are administered to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against that disease. They are used to force the body's white blood cells to develop a response to the specific pathogen and rid the body of the invading microorganisms.

Immunization can occur naturally when an untreated microbe in the environment is received by a person who has had no prior exposure to that microbe and, therefore, has no pre-made antibodies for defense.

The immune system of an otherwise healthy individual will eventually create antibodies for the microbe, but this is a slow process and, if the microbe is deadly, there may not be enough time for the antibodies to begin being used to inactivate the microbe before serious symptoms or even death can occur.

Artificial active immunization (vaccination) was created to boost the immune system's abilities to more quickly respond. In this process, the microbe is introduced into the person before they have been exposed to take it in naturally from the environment or directly from an infected person.

Microbes to be used in a vaccine are treated to weaken them (attenuated live vaccines) so that they will not cause disease in the person receiving the vaccination. Depending on the type of microorganism for which immunization is desired, vaccines can be used made from the attenuated pathogen, from entirely inactivated ("dead") microbes, from incomplete particles of the microbe, or treated toxins from the germ.
