Does the swine flu vaccine cause sterility?
No.
The mere statement of a conspiracy theory does not lend any credence to the statement. If you want proof of a claim, back it up by verifiable, scientific sources.
How many children die from vaccines each year?
i will say about 50,000 children die each year from vaccines
Why is it impractical to include influenza vaccinations in the required childhood vaccinations?
There are many different strains of influenza. This is why you get a flu shot (or could) every year. So making a required vaccine would only protect the child for that one year.
Are there vaccines for hypogeusia?
No. This is a problem with an inability to taste. It is not caused by a virus or bacteria. Vaccines are not medicines for this kind of disorder.
Does your nose start bleeding if you do not get the flu shot?
There is usually no relationship between a nosebleed and getting or not getting a vaccination.
Your nose can bleed if you get the flu and have dehydration that causes mucous tissue to dry and crack, but you would also have had flu symptoms if that happens.
Getting an annual flu vaccination is the wise approach for many reasons, but this is not usually one of them.
What does febrile convulsions mean?
Febrile Convulsions occur when a young child's body temperature increases rapidly. The child loses consciousness, becomes stiff, and or flails the limbs. Children whose parents had Febrile Convulsions are more likely to have them, along with children who have suffered frequent illnesses. One in 1000 children may suffer from this 6-10 days after the measles vaccination.
Tetavax is a brand name for the Tetanus vaccination. See related link for information on Tetanus.
Is Mass inoculation worth the risk of the few who die from receiving the vaccination?
Yes. mass inoculation saves far more lives than the vaccination sickens. Anyone fatally sickened by the inoculation almost certainly could not have survived an pandemic of the disease for which they were inoculated.
Do you need any vaccines to go to Australia?
Well, Australia is a very interesting choice. I say it is interesting because of the procedures you will have to go through. First you must contact your local physician to get a multitude of about ten to twelve shots to prevent you from contracting any of the following diseases : Amebiasis, Chancroid, Hookworm infections, Keratitis, E.coli, Kuru, Rickettsial infections, and Rubella. You will also need to go through a chemical bath to prevent any crop diseases from spreading. That just about sums it up. I hope this helps!
Can one inject a vaccine through a tattoo?
Yes, but it may alter the appearance of the tattoo, also you won't be able to see if there is an adverse reaction to the vaccine- redness, etc because the tattoo will mask the reaction.
How many vaccinations should you have by the year 8?

When would Cogentin be used as an antidote?
It may be proven helpful in stallions with penile paralysis induced by phenothiazine tranquilizers (propriopromazine, acepromazine, and reserpine) if given with in the first few hours of the clinical signs. Cogentin generic name is Benztropine mesylate.
Same here, I had my 3rd today.
The first one hurts a bit.
The second is over in a few seconds and is really easy.
The third I didn't know whether they had even done it. Turns out they had. :)
You'll be fine!
Why are dead or weakened viruses used instead of normal viruses to create a vaccine?
Vaccines are used to build immunity in the recipient. Dead or weakened viruses do the job well. More importantly, it is pointless injecting a full on dose of a virus into someone you are trying to protect against that virus. Dead or inactive pathogens(things that cause disease) are used in vaccines so that they do not harm the patient. However, they still make the immune system of the patient react how it normally would if the pathogen were to infect them.
The purpose of a vaccination is to introduce into the body a sample of the germs that you want to be protected from so that the immune system can react to the germs and create antibodies to stop or kill them without your having to get the disease to gain that immunity. In order to give you a sample of the germs without making you sick from them, they use weakened or dead (inactivated) germs in the vaccine. Your immune system does not know that they would not make you sick, so it reacts as if they would and creates the antibodies that it will keep stored in case you ever do come in contact with the full strength germ later. That is how you develop immunity by using a vaccine instead of by having the disease.
Flu shots have been administered intramuscularly (IM) in the upper arm in adults and in the thigh in children aged over six months. Children under six months can not be vaccinated yet. There is also now a new intradermal (ID) injection for flu for adults ages 18 - 64.
The typical IM syringe needle is a 25.4 mm (1 or 1 1/2 inch) long needle and it is usually 22-25 Gauge size. It really isn't very big as medical intramuscular injection needles go.
The ID syringe needle is tiny in comparison (90% smaller) and is very useful for the needle-averse patient due to small size, less pain on injection, and the needle is not readily visible in the special micro-injection system.
ID needles are short, injected only 1.5 mm deep (0.039 inches) and are thin (30 gauge).
The amount of vaccine in an adult dose of the IM H1N1/09 flu shot is 0.5 mL (one half cc), which is a very small amount (approximately 1/10 of a teaspoon). But the micro dose of ID vaccine is only 0.1 mL.
The IM vaccine's dose of antigen is 45 mcg while the ID contains antigen in a dose of 27 mcg for as good or better immunization. The skin has special immune system cells available that help the ID vaccine work better.
In trials 96% of clinicians administering the vaccines would recommend the ID vaccine.
What is a placebo used for in scientific studies?
Placebo is a dummy drug, which is identical in appearance to the drug under study but will have no therapeutic property.
Placebos are used in clinical trials in order compare the effect of drugs on humans. The placebos are given to the control group and the drug is given to the treatment group.
The effects on both the groups are then documented and compared to see the action of the drug in humans.
Placebos are used in randomized, controlled trials.

Can you take doxycycline and get a flu shot?
It is usually OK to get a flu vaccine when using antibiotics; there is no drug interaction problem.
However, if you are taking antibiotics, then you must have a bacterial infection. If your infection is still acute - and you have ongoing symptoms such as a high fever - you may want to consult your health-care professional to be sure that your body will be able to tolerate the immune response needed to create immunity to the virus while you are also fighting an infection by a different type of organism.
Before receiving the injection the person about to give you the vaccine will ask you a series of questions that will include questions about fever or other infection symptoms, ask this clinician if there is any reason you should not have the injection, given your current condition.
No, it doesn't, because the vaccine 'primes' the system for the virus. It won't help once you're already sick.
Who is Fluvrin not recommended for?
Fluvrin is a vaccine against seasonal influenza. Children under four years old should not take this. It is not recommended for people who have a respiratory tract infection or high fever. It should not be taken by those who are allergic to eggs, chicken or such antibiotics like neomycin or polymixin. Talk to your doctor if you suffer any other illnesses such as asthma, breathing problems, or are taking any other health medication.
Should you have vaccinations before getting pregnant?
Answer-- Get all your vaccinations done BEFORE you get pregnant. You don't want live vaccine viruses around while you are pregnant, because they can hurt the developing baby. Some vaccines are live viruses and other vaccines are dead viruses, so check with your doctor which is which. As long as you get pregnant about 4-6 months after your final vaccination (for a live virus vaccine) you should be OK. Also, don't let the new baby get vaccines too young, or too many all at once. "Get your immunities to common childhood diseases (mumps and measles) tested. If you received the shots during certain years and lot numbers, they might not have worked. This is to avoid birth defects. Wait a while (at least three months) after getting the shot, before you get pregnant." "Getting rubella (German measles) early in pregnancy can cause birth defects. A simple blood test can tell if you have immunity. If you are not immune, a vaccine given at least 3 months before getting pregnant will protect you from getting rubella in the future."
