Vaccinations

It is only a problem for adults who get two doses because they may have paid for the second vaccine when they didn't need it. There are no ill-effects on the adult body if a second dose is received in one season.

Not exactly, but it does have a role in production of flu vaccines. The viruses that are used to make a flu vaccine are grown in a laboratory in a growth medium that is made from chicken egg protein (including albumin from the egg whites). Once the viruses are fully developed and extracted to use in making the vaccines, there are only negligible amounts of minute traces of the egg protein that are not fully extracted by the purification processes of manufacturing.

For this reason, people who are allergic to chicken or chicken eggs are advised to wait after a flu vaccination to be monitored for any potential allergic responses. These are very rare and, with treatment as soon as the first signs of allergic reaction are evident, often today anaphylactic reactions can be prevented. See the related question in the related question section for more detail about egg allergies and flu vaccinations.

Check to see if there are any vaccinations you need to get before going. Some countries require them, and some don't, so it's always best to check with you local health department in plenty of time before your scheduled trip. You can also receive any required vaccinations there, too.

Since it would be extremely impractical to bring enough bottled water with you, you should bring water purification tablets, or drink only commercially bottled water purchased in Mexico. Distilled water would actually be much safer than spring or mineral water, since it is pure, sterile water.

You should also have a list of all medical conditions you have, as well as a list of all medications you take. Be sure to bring enough prescription medications to last a few days longer than you plan to stay, since there are often unforseen problems that can delay your return trip home. Just be sure to have your medications in the original prescription bottles, especially any that are narcotics. Otherwise, you could be charged with illegal possession of a controlled substance.

Be sure to also have a list of all your doctors' names, office addresses, and phone numbers in case of a medical emergency. The attending physician in Mexico may need to consult with your regular physician, and if you were unconscious or unable to provide them with that information, they would still be able to contact your doctors. You should also have a list of emergency contact names and numbers with you at all times so your family can be contacted if necessary. This includes both the name(s) and number(s) of anyone traveling with you and the name of the hotel where you are staying, as well as those at home.

Patients of all ages get the same 0.5 ml dose of chickenpox vaccine. If your child got a different dose, follow up care (in particular, reinection) will depend on if the dose was too high or too low. Find out what dose your child received, then call your local Department of Health vaccination department or your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

The three types of immunity is innate immunity, adaptive immunity, and passive immunity.

To prevent disease

A vaccine is a medicine for immunity and does not have "seconds".

If you mean how many seconds does it take for the vaccine to be administered, then the injection of a vaccine usually only takes 5-10 seconds to put the vaccine into your body with a needle since the amount of vaccine needed is so small. If the vaccine is available in a nasal mist, the inhalation of a nasal mist takes as long as it takes for you to sniff.

If you mean how long will the immunity last before you need a booster vaccination, you should check with your doctor about the type of vaccine you are getting (e.g. influenza, bacterial pneumonia, etc.). Depending on your age and the type of vaccine, some vaccinations need boosters every so often. Your doctor can tell you how long the one you are getting lasts.

A mass immunization campaign is when the vaccination needs lots of people to get the jab for it to work otherwise it doesn't work and the people who had the jab won't get any benefits from having it.

Vaccines.

Probably, there are no drug interaction problems with the flu vaccines according to the manufacturers' package inserts. However, it would be best to contact your health care professional to confirm that you should get the vaccination. Your doctor may have other reasons related to your condition for which you take the anticoagulant that would exclude the vaccination, so checking first would be best.

You also should be sure to tell the clinician before they give you the vaccine that you take this medicine so they can be careful to watch for and monitor any bleeding from the injection if you get the shot instead of nasal spray.

Yes. A recent study has shown that Gardasil is 90% effective at preventing genital warts in males. Genital warts are caused by HPV (Human Papiloma Virus). Genital warts are responsible for most penile and rectal cancer, and by vaccinating against HPV, these men are protected from penile and rectal cancer caused by HPV. Giving the vaccine to men will also mean that they can not transmit HPV to their female partners. This would greatly reduce the risk of cervical cancer due to HPV infections in women. If all boys and girls were vaccinated for HPV, the HPV virus would be eliminated, causing rates of cervical, penile, and rectal cancer to drop by 80%. For the vaccine to be effective it must be given before an individual is exposed to HPV. This is why the vaccine should be given in childhood, usually between the ages of 9 and 14. However the vaccine can and should be given to men of any age, as it reduces the risk of getting HPV, genital warts, and penile and rectal cancers caused by HPV. At this point doctors can give the HPV vaccine Gardasil to males as an off label use. The label for Gardasil should be updated by the summer of 2009 to indicate its use for prevention of HPV infection, genital warts, penile cancer, and rectal cancer in males.

No. There are many situations in which people get two series.

Otherwise healthy adults, teens and children over 10 only need a single vaccination for the flu to be fully protected. After about 2 weeks from the time of the vaccination you will be protected. Younger children need a series of two flu vaccinations, usually given a month apart. After around another 2 weeks from the time of the second vaccination, they are protected. Babies under 6 months old do not have immune systems mature enough to get vaccinated for the flu.

I will say that you potentially can. My boyfriend was vaccinated as a child, and he contracted the virus within a few weeks. We don't know if perhaps the polio was already in his system and he was just vaccinated too late, or if something went wrong with the vaccine and he got sick as a result.

Actually you can take the vaccination if you are taking antibiotics unless you have a fever at the time. Fever is a sign that the infection, for which you were prescribed the antibiotics, is still being fought by your immune system. It is best not to overburden your immune system with vaccinations if it is actively fighting something else.

However, as soon as you are fever-free you can and should get the vaccination. The drug manufacturers indicate in the package inserts that there are no known drug interaction problems with the flu vaccines. Antibiotics would have no effect on the flu vaccine. See the related links section below for a link to more related information at the US Flu.gov site.

The influenza vaccines are available widely and are being offered at numerous locations of pharmacies and health care professional offices for the 2011-2012 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere, which is just beginning this month (October). Get the vaccination as soon as possible to avoid risk of catching the flu before you can get the vaccine.

The H1N1/09 pandemic swine flu vaccine is included this year again in the annual seasonal flu vaccine. The vaccines are now available in formulations for administration by the usual IM shot/jab, the nasal mist, and now, new this year there is an intradermal (ID) vaccine called Fluzone that is injected using a micro-injection system with a tiny needle under the layers of the skin. If you have a preference as to the type of administration route, you may need to call ahead to find out if the type you prefer is available and if you are a candidate for the type you are considering. You can also discuss this with your pharmacist or primary health care professional. It is approved for use in adults age 18 - 64.

The nasal mist is a live attenuated vaccine and can only be used for non-pregnant healthy individuals ages 2 - 49. It is not indicated for those who are immuno-suppressed. The intradermal and intramuscular (IM) injections are made from inactivated ("dead") virus particles, approved for all ages down to 6 months. Infants under 6 months can not be vaccinated due to their immature immune systems.

If you are 110% guaranteed to refrain from sex, there is no need to get immunised. If you may or will become active, get the shot.

You should get it done as soon as possible. Boosters rely on a schedule based on previous shots. If you wait too long, a baby may need to start again from the first shot.
