Vaccinations

In the US, there are two brands of FDA-approved vaccine that contain chickenpox. Varivax vaccinates against chickenpox only, and Proquad vaccinates against chickenpox, measles, mumps, and rubella.

Home-school.

The HIb vaccine is one of the vaccines that are recommended that children have during their immunizations. The health benefits are they provide long term protection against such things as pnemonia.

You need to get MMR twice. A normal schedule is at 1 yo and 4-6 yo.

You can get it done at Manipal Hospital on Old Airport road

for muscle relaxation sideeffects are Dizzy ness, nausea and etc.

The vaccine puts dead flu cells into your body. Because the cells are very weak, you immune system can completely kill that virus. After you immune system kills the virus, antibodies are still left over in your blood stream. So, if you are exposed to the flu, the already made antibodies can kill the flu virus before it spreads and gets too serious for your immune system to overcome.

Poor nutrition, or fungal/bacterial infection. This can also occur if you tan a lot, or use a tanning bed.

I don't believe that doctors have any debates about the benefits of the vaccines. It's all the media and lay people (parents) that have concerns about possible adverse outcomes.

Once someone is convinced about something, any evidences to the contrary somehow only make him/her even a stronger believer. There are many studies proving the vaccines are safe (few parents care to remember those), but the one discredited study that showed possible link to vaccine is quoted by all concern parents.

Vaccines, like all medicines, are not perfect. Some people will have adverse reactions just like any other medicines. The majority will not have any reactions at all, otherwise, they wouldn't be approve for use.

There are still two types of polio vaccines available. One of those is administered PO ("per os" ~ Latin for "by mouth") known as OPV (oral polio vaccine) and the other is the injected form IPV (inactivated polio vaccine). Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) is a live attenuated (weakened) vaccine. As the name implies, IPV is a vaccine made with inactive/"dead" virus particles.

The polio virus is still in the environment in some places and usually gets into the body by way of the intestines, so the oral vaccine is especially effective against the "wild" viruses through gastrointestinal immunity. The wild viruses are not as prevalent as in the past due to the long term use of polio vaccines, and are currently seen in only some areas of the world without that history of vaccinations.

There are no preservatives in the live attenuated oral polio vaccine, but there are some traces of some antibiotics used in the purification of contaminates that may get in the vaccine during manufacture. Those people with antibiotic allergies need to talk to their health care professionals about any allergic reaction risks, as you would for any prescriptions in allergic individuals.

The live virus also presents some extra difficulty with handling and storage, and is more difficult to preserve in hot areas or over long transport to out of the way locations. This is compounded by strong regulations about the storage and preservation of the OPV that adds costs to maintain compliance and so can make IPV more preferred.

The OPV produces immunity to three poliovirus types. Three doses can produce immunity in 95% of those who receive oral polio vaccine. One dose is effective in 50%.

There can be some "secondary immunization" provided to others by those who receive the oral vaccine and pass the virus through their feces. This gives, in a sense, a vaccination to the others exposed to their feces and the minute doses of the vaccine it contains. This is a plus in the more remote and economically deprived locations.

There is also the injected IPV (inactivated polio vaccine) that mostly prevents the virus from getting into the body through the nervous system. This is what is seen used most often in areas of the world that do not still have wild polio in the environment (like in the US). However, the live vaccine is still used in areas of the world where there is more incidence of the disease in the "wild". This is because any concerns about an increase in the virulence of the weakened live virus that could potentially cause infection are offset by the increased effectiveness, need for fewer doses, and often life long protection that a live vaccine produces.

Some are produced in the US, but the US may not be the headquarters of the company making the product.

Penicillin is a type of antibiotic that is prescribed to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Alexander Fleming is the person who found the penicillin vaccine in 1928.

TD stands for tetanus-diphtheria

One should get a rabies vaccine if they are exposed to rabies or have a high risk of being exposed to rabies. There are three doses to the rabies vaccine, and one can get it from the Health Department or from one's doctor.

To attend Community College you need vaccination records it is required by New york stae law.

The methods of vaccine administration are either by injection or orally.

Methods of Admiinistration of sustances.

They get samples from patients from labs and in the US from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and then once it is decided exactly which strain of a particular flu will be best (easiest to grow quickly, most prevalent strain in the location, etc.), they grow the selected virus in eggs a lab. When they have enough virus particles to start making the vaccine, then they either inactivate them ("kill" them-these are used for flu vaccine injections) or they weaken them chemically (they make them too weak to give you the flu, these are used in the nasal spray flu vaccinations).

Because they are grown in eggs, this is why they will ask you if you are allergic to eggs before they give you the vaccine.

They are called live attenuated vaccines. Attenuated means weakened. The nasal mist flu vaccine is an example of a live attenuated vaccine. The vaccines for flu that are injected are made from pieces of viruses or "dead" viruses. See the related question below for more information on these two types of vaccines.

It depends in what form the vaccine is given. If it is FluMist (through the nose) or a single-dose pre-filled syringe, then it does not contain thermisol (mercury). If it a multiple dose vaccine, then it contains therimosol to help preserve the vaccine. The FDA has suspended the limits of mercury in the H1N1 vaccine, which means the multiple dose vaccine may contain amounts of mercury higher than the FDA has previously allowed.

It's NOT for people with skin disorders, like eczema, and other immune disorders.

Indeed, vaccines ARE beneficial for the majority of children. Vaccinations have nearly wiped out many contagious diseases -- unless parents did not vaccinate their children. MMR--measles, mumps, rubella (German measles)-- is one. Small pox another; polio containment a HUGE achievement.

Besides deformities, like from polio, and years of medical treatments, many of these contagions resulted in death for babies and young children.
