Vaccinations
A vaccine is the preparation of dead microorganisms, living weakened microorganisms or inactivated toxins. Its administration induces the development of immunity and protection against a pathogen or toxin and is called a vaccination.

Why was the H1N1-09 swine flu vaccine made?
To protect us from the H1N1/09 virus that was new in 2009. Because it was a strain never before seen, it was anticipated that it could spread rapidly and have many associated deaths, since none of us would have immunity from prior exposure or prior vaccinations. It was also affecting young and healthy adults particularly, which was unusual for most seasonal flu strains.
It did prove to be a very easily spread virus, becoming a true pandemic as it quickly spread across the world. Luckily, however, the symptoms were less severe than expected, so there were not as many deaths as feared (although still very many worldwide).
Not as many seniors (65 and older) caught this flu as would be typical in usual flu seasons. It is thought perhaps due to their having had prior exposure many decades ago to this same strain or to one very similar that provided their immunity to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu.
In the US, in general, recipients of social welfare should report any and all income and assets, even though that money might be partially or wholly excluded when determining eligibility.
Why do vaccination produce active immunity?
vaccinations dont always work. they can actually kill people. vaccinations contain dead cells which causes your white blood cells to attack and try to build up an immunity to whatever vaccine you got. but most of the time the cells arent actually dead and your body wont know how to react. so do some reserch before getting your next flu shot, or whatever shot your getting. the only shots i trust are the tetnis shots.
Why aren't HPV vaccines given to infants?
They really should be. Vaccines always have side effects but the problem with this vaccine and the fact that it is given to a preteen, makes the parents think of sex. No parent likes to think that their kids will be doing that at least not yet.
It would be better given younger and then it would be seen as a anticancer vaccine instead of some how being tied with the sex idea. There are problems with giving many vaccines early so perhaps a better schedule could be set up.
What is injected in a vaccination during immunisation?
some of the dead cells of the disease you are being vaccinated from
Do they give the live virus flu shot to babies?
No. For the flu vaccines, there are no live injected (flu shot/jab) vaccines. All injected flu vaccines are made with inactivated virus particles. The MedImmune flu mist is the only type that includes LAIV (live attenuated influenza virus). It is sprayed into the nose as an intranasal form of immunization. The mist is weakened (attenuated) significantly so that it will not give an otherwise healthy person the flu. It is only approved for those aged 2 - 49 who are healthy.
Babies can be injected with the inactivated vaccines once they are 6 months old. Prior to that, babies are not able to be vaccinated for the flu since they have immature immune systems and must rely on mom's milk for antibodies to protect them or they may have benefited from her antibodies for the flu that were in her blood while they were developing in the womb. Babies under 6 months old are also reliant on those around them to have their flu vaccinations so they do not bring the infection home to the baby.
Which vaccinations to be given to a newborn baby in India?

We need vaccines to protect us from infectious diseases and to trigger the immune system to respond with production of antibodies made for that specific pathogen. See the related questions for more details of how this works.
Who cares what's causing it, call your doctor immediately. Black vomit is not a good sign, and a fever that high is downright dangerous.
If you can't get in touch with your pediatrician, take her to the emergency room.
Why is it important for everyone to be vaccinated?
Because disease prevention is the key to maintaining public health. It is always better to prevent a disease than to treat it. Vaccines prevent disease in the people who receive them and protect those who come into contact with unvaccinated individuals. Vaccines help prevent Infectious Diseases and save lives.
Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common killers in the US; including polio, measles, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), rubella (German measles), mumps, tetanus, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).
Vaccine-preventable diseases have a costly impact on society and can also be expensive for the patient and their family. These diseases often result in visits to doctor's offices, severe hospitalizations, and premature deaths. Approximately 36,000 people die of the common flu (influenza) each year in the US alone. Getting your vaccination will prevent your infecting someone else who can not be vaccinated (for medical reasons) themselves. Caring for sick children can also cause parents to lose time from work.
Immunizing individual children also helps to protect the health of our community, especially those people who are not immunized. People who are not immunized include those who are too young to be vaccinated (e.g., children less than a year old cannot receive the measles vaccine but can be infected by the measles virus), those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons (e.g., children with leukemia), and those whose immune systems cannot make an adequate response to vaccination to prevent infection (e.g., those with immune suppression by diseases or pharmaceuticals). Also protected when you get your vaccination, therefore, are people who received a vaccine, but who have not developed immunity.
Infants can not be given vaccinations for some diseases until their immune systems mature, therefore, you could expose infants who can not be vaccinated to your germs. Infants and adults 65 and over are at higher risk of death from influenza, for example.
First, a baby can develop a certain amount of immunities if breastfed. Second, a child or adult develops immunities by exposure to or getting the disease, or through being vaccinated, IF a vaccine exists.
What type of immunity occurs when a person receives the MMR vaccination?
When you are inoculated for MMR, your body develops antibodies to Measles, Mumps and Rubella. The antibodies help you resist those diseases.
What is Preparation and standardization of vaccines and immunization?
IT is prepared by weakening or killing a germ of that disease which is not strong enough to cause a disease. vaccines are given through a needle. these causes antibodies in the body's immune system which protect the body from diseases.
In veterinary medicine, that is a vaccine against Distemper, Adenovirus type 2 and Parvo Virus
How do scientists use the virus to create vaccines?
Scientists (virologists), first "grow" viruses (often in eggs) and then they can cause them to become inert and unable to make us sick, either by "killing" them or by weakening them significantly, usually chemically. Then the pharmacologists get these inert or weakened viruses from the virologists so they can add them to a medium to make them into a medication (vaccine) that is able to be introduced into our bodies, in a shot or sometimes in a nasal spray. These weakened or inert virus particles suspended in the administration medium won't make us feel sick, but they will cause our bodies to make defensive cells, since it will recognize them as substances that do not belong there.
This "artificial infection" simulates how we naturally would get immune to an infectious disease once we have had it. Except in the case of vaccines, we are tricking our body into thinking we have caught the actual virus when we haven't, so our immune system will start making attack cells. That way, if the same virus ever comes into our bodies again in the full strength of a natural virus going around a community, we will have already stored the pattern of the right cells that were able to destroy it and remove it from our bodies in the past. Since we don't have to take the time right then to build the pattern for these attack cells that are specific to that virus, we can get rid of it before it can even make us feel sick.
Our body "remembers" the pattern each time it makes cells that work to kill germs, so if that same germ comes along again, or even sometimes a similar one, our immune system wastes no time in getting rid of the invading organism because it knows already what will work.
a vaccine that protects against pneumonia & meningitis. it is typically given to infants and the elderly, both of which are very susceptible to these illnesses.
The weakened form of the virus or parts of inactivated virus strains to which the immunity from the vaccine is desired. There will also be other ingredients that preserve and prepare the compound for administration. See related question below.
How long to wait between flu vaccine and shingles vaccine?
interval- flu vaccine and the shingles vaccine
How to survive hpv vaccinations?
The vaccine is administered in three doses over a six-month period. Patients with HPV-positive throat cancer have a disease-free survival rate of 85-90.
How is the bodys reaction to a vaccine similar to its reaction when it is attacked by a virus?
They are actually the same. Except that the vaccine isn't going to cause the disease. It is just going to prep the body for a time when it will be exposed to that virus or bacteria.
What main substance would an influenza vaccine contain?
You suck! that is a easy question. why don't you answer it yourself? Oh my god ! Check my facebook if you want to know the answer facebook/hungphan34
