Where is 67 ml on a 1ml syringe?

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.

What was the year of invention for chickenpox vaccine?

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.

What happens if you take the flu shot while sick?

Yes, if you have mild symptoms like the sniffles it is okay to get the vaccine, however, if you have a high fever, you should wait until that is over. If you are under a doctor's care, then ask them if you should wait or get the vaccination.

When you go to get the vaccination, the clinician who will be giving it will ask you about fever or other symptoms and will decide if it would be better to wait. You can call and describe your symptoms to a pharmacist and ask them if you can still get the flu vaccine. See also the related question below about who should not get a flu vaccination (it doesn't matter which strain of flu you are being vaccinated against to follow this advice).

Does the shingles vaccine contain a live virus?

The vaccines for the swine flu virus are made both ways. The nasal spray type of swine flu vaccinations contain the live, but weakened, virus and are usually not used by those who have immuno-suppression through disease, disorders or medications. The injected vaccines in the flu shots contain inactivated "dead" virus particles.

When did the polio vaccine come out?

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.

What is the goal of a vaccination?

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.

See the related questions below for more information about vaccinations.

How the first vaccine was made?

Vaccines are made in several ways. However, all vaccines have the same general goal: weaken the virus or bacteria in a way that allows the recipient to develop an immune response without developing any symptoms of infection. Vaccines are made using the same components that are found in the natural virus or bacteria.

Vaccines are made of small amount of the bacteria, virus or other antigen and administered to stimulate the immune system to create antibodies to prevent future infections with the disease.

What are the four different types of vaccines used in medicine?

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

Can a vaccinated person still catch the swine flu?

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).

Does it hurt when getting your hpv injection?

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.

How long are you protected from the cholera vaccine?

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

Who was the first physician to develop a vaccine?

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.

What is DTP?

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.

Can people who have recovered from Smallpox contract it again?

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.

Can you put anything in your urine to pass a drug test?

Is there any side affects of HIV vaccine?

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.

What happened at the first vaccination?

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.

Is there a vaccine for meningitis?

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.

What are some possible side effects of the influenza vaccine?

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.
