Vaccinations

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, there are 2 types of influenza vaccines - trivalent and quadrivalent.

Only sort of, and only maybe in very specific circumstances. Usually, being "contagious" means you have the disease or infection and can give it to someone else. That won't happen when someone gets a vaccination, because they can't get the flu from the vaccination.

In the US, the vaccine that is injected in a flu shot for H1N1/09 influenza is made from "dead"/inactivated virus particles that can not give anyone the flu. So, you would not get the flu to be able to be contagious after getting that type of vaccination.

The nasal spray vaccine is made from active/"live" viruses, but they are processed to be too weak to cause anyone healthy to get the flu from the vaccine. This is called an attenuated live virus vaccine. If you are healthy and old enough to take the vaccine (over 2), you would also not get the flu from this vaccine, so you would not be contagious.

The exception is when this type of "live" vaccine is given, and someone with a severe immune disorder, that makes them very susceptible to infections, is in very close contact immediately following the vaccination with the person who received the nasal spray. In that specific circumstance, there is a very rare chance that there could be virus that is loose on the person, or able to be sneezed from the nose of the person, so that the virus is passed to the susceptible person. It is not so much that they were contagious, because they didn't have the flu, it is that the virus was loose in the environment or on their body and could then be available for the other person to pick up and infect themselves.

For this reason, people who get the nasal spray vaccine, made with attenuated (weakened) live virus, are warned to wait seven days as a precaution before being in close contact with someone with a severe immune disorder (like those who must be in protective "bubbles", or are on anti-rejection transplant medications, for example).

Everyone says one hurts more than the other. This is a lie! They are all the same size needle and same amount of vaccine. Seriously, take a deep breath and relax, if you tense up it's likely to cause more muscular ache afterwards. The nurse normally talks to you about your day and then there, done. Your arm aches for a while afterwards but the best thing to do it keep it moving as the it won't cease up, promise all you feel is a small prick and then it's all over in the space of 5 seconds.

You dont need any vaccination to travel to Turkey. Also there is not any mandotary vaccination.

There's not a vaccine for cholera. People ususally just let it run it's course, the only way you die from this bacterial infection is from dehydration-you loose like 5 gallons of water a day from diarrhea. You can take antibiotics, but I hear it doesn't help that much.-Jess

Louis Pasteur, a french doctor, was the first to explain the principles of vacccination.

His first human vaccination was on a child against rabies in 1885.

But a century before, Peter Plett, a German teacher and Edward Jenner, a English doctor practised the first vaccination separetly at the same time.

They inoculated the vaccine (the cow version of variola) to people who will be acknowledeged as immuned against variola.

Some historians also say that inoculation of variola had already been made in ancient China.

It is an abbreviation for Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis, which are serious viral diseases. Usually children are given the DTP vaccines when they are young.

No you cannot get Smallpox twice. Like other Pox viruses if you have it once and survive it you have immunity to it from that point on. However, in the current day and age smallpox has been eradicated in the natural world It is ridiculously impossible and improbable that anyone currently has or has had a case of Smallpox since the 1970's when the last cases occurred. There is a vaccine for Smallpox but it is reserved by governments for use in case of a biological terror attack.

No, you cannot add anything to your urine that will allow you to pass a drug test. Once the drug is in your system, you cannot add anything to it to get rid of it.

THE ONLY hepatitis injection that is truly a VACCINE, that I am aware of, is one given for hepatitis B. That is given BEFORE EXPOSURE to prevent you from GETTING HEP B if you are EXPOSED to it. AFTER you are EXPOSED to HEP A or B, the doctor will give you shots of GAMMA GLOBULIN to help fight it off. There are many different types of Gamma Globulin; Gamimune N, Gammagard S/D, Gammar-P, Sandoglobulin, Venoglobulin,. They are given anywhere from as soon as possible to many days after exposure. The possible side effects include pain (or muscle stiffness) at the injection site, headache, nausea, chest pain, fever and tiredness.

I think you can only get h p v when you are at your between the ages of 12 till the age of 26. That is what the lady at my school said so any way and she is a profecinal.

It was an improvised small pox vaccine which his inventor (I forgot his name, it was in the 18th century) tried on a 5-year-old, who was a servant's son (without warning his parents, of course). He used a virus taken from the bovine (cow) version of the disease, which was less virulent while offering immunity against the deadly human disease.

Well it depends on whether the disease is viral meningitis or bacterial meningitis, if Bacterial then no vaccine is needed but immediate iv antibiotics is recommended after more serious symptoms are shown. There are a variety of viral vaccines, the most common virus to attack the meninges are enteroviruses, herpes, mumps, measles and arboviruses, and cause them to inflame, so really there is no one vaccine for meningitis and viral meningitis can not be cured, at least not with today's technology, but there has been work within a company Poly-Technologies International, that has been working on a new nano-technology that may be able to repair the meninges. Their work is extremely experimental and won't be truly test ready for a few years. So the only true way to prevent meningitis in the viral capacity is to stay away from mosquitos, and to keep up with you vaccines.

The simple truth is that any vaccine can cause side effects, but they are usually minor. The most common side effects from the flu vaccine are soreness, redness, pain and swelling of the injection site, fever and malaise.

None at all

Japan is advanced and very safe so you need zero vaccinations.

A LOT of places give flu shots. Pharmacies, Instant Care Units in stores like grocery stores, doctor's offices, etc. However, some places may not have a nurse available so you have to be over 18 years of age to get a flu shot there.

You should be up to date on routine vaccinations, like MMR and flu. Special vaccinations that you should get our hepatitis A and typhoid. Some people need hepatitis B or rabies. Consult your doctor for more information.

I would not think so just medical details!

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends for travel to Israel that you make sure you are up to date on the standard vaccinations, and also recommends vaccination for Hepatitis A & B. See the related link for more information.

If you are coming from the US there is not specific requirements for Vaccinations for Abu Dhabi; However, it is good practice to have the following vaccinations when doing international travel of any kind:

HEP A & B
MMR
Typhoid
Tetanus/Diphtheria

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a country specific list of recommended vaccines. Check there (link below) for the countries you wish to visit. If you are travelling to Germany, for example, CDC only recommends the usual complement of vaccines plus Hepatitis B.

sorry dear, there is no facility to get a yellow fever vaccine in pune. you will have to go to mumbai . in mumbai two places this vaccine is given 1. seamens bhuvan at ballard pier and 2. sahar airport

Routine Recommended if you are not up-to-date with routine shots such as, measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria/pertussis/tetanus (DPT) vaccine, poliovirus vaccine, etc. Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG) Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high level of hepatitis A virus infection (see map) where exposure might occur through food or water. Cases of travel-related hepatitis A can also occur in travelers to developing countries with "standard" tourist itineraries, accommodations, and food consumption behaviors. Hepatitis B Recommended for all unvaccinated persons traveling to or working in countries with intermediate to high levels of endemic HBV transmission (see map), especially those who might be exposed to blood or body fluids, have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment (e.g., for an accident). Typhoid Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in Southern Africa, especially if visiting smaller cities, villages, or rural areas and staying with friends or relatives where exposure might occur through food or water. Rabies Recommended for travelers spending a lot of time outdoors, especially in rural areas, involved in activities such as bicycling, camping, or hiking. Also recommended for travelers with significant occupational risks (such as veterinarians) for long-term travelers and expatriates living in areas with a significant risk of exposure, and for travelers involved in any activities that might bring them into direct contact with bats. Children are considered at higher risk because they tend to play with animals, may receive more severe bites, or may not report bites. Note: Rabies vaccine is temporarily in limited supply. For updates on the rabies vaccine supply, please check the Rabies News and Highlights page regularly.
