Vaccinations

They were unable to in the past but currently are able to administer certain injections, I believe they are limited to vaccinations.

The canarypox vectors have more genes/epitopes that have HIV 'parts'. These are what cause the body to produce antibodies against HIV. So it acts as a type of carrier molecule. This molecule hasn't proven to work yet.

produce antibodies to help kill germs

ask your travel advisor but isn't turkey food?

the vaccine has a little bit of the disease in it so your body gets an atibody for the disease so when the disease trys to attack you body you have an immune system to it

Antibodies for measles don't work against chickenpox virus because antibody for measles virus can not bind to chickenpox virus. Antibody for a specific antigen should have a shape and structure that is able to fit into this virus. Then it will be able to inhibit the activity of this virus.

When a measles vaccine is inserted inside human body, or when someone has measles, the T type lymphocytes (White Blood Cells) detect the type of viruses and then B type lymphocytes produce the antibodies against this specific type of virus. If viruses of the vaccine are alive they will reproduce themselves inside the human body and the number of antibodies against them also increases. Antibodies bind to these viruses and destroy them. Now the virus (of specific disease which needs prevention) which was in the vaccine have been destroyed but the antibodies against this disease viruses are still there and they prevent from the actual disease causing viruses.

Antibodies are specific: An infection with the measles virus means that the person makes antibodies only against measles. It doesn't make any antibodies against chickenpox too.

No it can't. A flue vaccine can only be used if it is taken internally. If the flu vaccine is very small it might work like an ice cube just swallow it. The best job is the mist and shot, though, because the cells are not changed or frozen.

Chickenpox vaccine is not intramuscular. It is a subcutaneous vaccine.

The swine flu vaccine will be included in the seasonal flu shot in the US flu season of 2010-2011, so a separate shot won't be necessary this year.

They are highly recommended by medical professionals. They are proven safe and effective over decades of use with very very low adverse incidents. Most RNs and doctors take them and get them for their families, too.

BCG can be given either on right or left hand, technically it doesn't make a difference.

It is given on the left hand merely, as a convention, to maintain uniformity among all vaccinized individuals.

Shingles is an illness resulting from the same virus that causes Chicken Pox. Serious reaction to this vaccination are extremely rare. Most, if they happen, are very mild, and consist of redness and itching at the site of innoculation.

Although the March of Dimes campaign resulted in vaccination of the masses, I can find no evidence to support that it was mandated by law in the 1950s and 60s. Currently there is discussion of mandating its use by law in countries in which poliomyelitis still occurs.

The pathophysiology of febrile seizures remains unclear.[17] It is generally believed that an FS is an age-dependent response of the immature brain to fever.[17] This postulation is supported by the fact that most (80-85%) febrile seizures occur between 6 months and 3 years of age, with the peak incidence at 18 months.[6,7,8] Although the mechanism of this increased susceptibility is unclear, animal models suggest that there is enhanced neuronal excitability during the normal brain maturation.[17] It is well known that febrile seizures tend to occur in families, and this genetic susceptibility can be transmitted through both parents.[18,19] A positive family history for febrile seizures can be elicited in 25-40% of children with febrile seizures, and the reported frequency in their siblings ranges from 9-22%.[18] Familial clustering studies indicate a doubling of risk in children when both parents, rather than one parent, had febrile seizures.[19] Studies show a higher concordance rate in monozygotic as compared to dizygotic twins.[20] Although there is clear evidence for a genetic basis, the precise mode of inheritance is unclear.[20,21] Most studies suggest that the mode of inheritance of susceptibility to febrile seizures is mostly polygenic and rarely autosomal dominant.[20,21] No single human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotype has been found to be statistically more frequent among pooled FS subjects because of the considerable genetic heterogeneity of proneness to febrile seizures.[20,21] In recent times, linkage studies in several large families in Japan have mapped the FS susceptibility genes to two putative loci, FEB1 (chromosome 8q13-q21) and FEB2 (chromosome 19p13.3), indicating an autosomal dominant pattern with reduced penetrance.[21] Preliminary studies in children suggest that the cytokine network is activated and may have a role in the pathogenesis of febrile seizures.[22] Children with febrile seizures have been reported to have significantly low levels of plasma ferritin, suggesting a possible role of iron insufficiency.[23] The incidence of febrile seizures in thalassemic children is significantly lower, and iron overload may be a major factor that prevents their occurrence.[24] Also, significantly lower levels of zinc have been reported in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of children with febrile seizures.[25,26] However, the precise clinical significance of these observations remains unclear. The systemic effects of CSE are initially dominated by the body's attempt to maintain homeostasis.9 Blood pressure and central venous pressure increase, blood glucose increases, and the patient becomes tachycardic.9 10 CSE may also result in electrolyte imbalance and hyperthermia.11 Cerebral blood flow, blood glucose, and oxygen utilisation increase in the initial phases of a seizure to maintain cerebral homeostasis. After 30 minutes homeostatic failure begins and the patient may need systemic support.9 Cerebral blood flow, brain glucose, and parenchymal oxygenation all decrease and potentially play a part in the cell damage associated with CSE.9 10 Respiratory and metabolic acidosis, electrolyte imbalance (for example, hyperkalaemia), hyperthermia, and rhabdomyolysis may all occur (table 1).Treatment with drugs with depressant cardiorespiratory side effects (for example, benzodiazepines and barbiturates) may worsen the systemic complications of CSE.

Your last doctors office or where you were given the immunizations

Well, Antigua 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!

Yes, you can get flu vaccine and varicella vaccine at the same time.

If you had a flu vaccination and soon or immediately after getting it you had a mild fever and other mild flu symptoms caused by the vaccination, then the fever you have would not be due to contagious disease but, rather, due to the immune response that the vaccination caused in your body (which is how the shots give us immunity) and it would not be from infectious disease or the flu. These mild reactions to the flu shot usually only cause a low grade fever under 100F and last only a few days.

However, there is also always the possibility that you actually have the flu, since it takes about two weeks to develop full immunity from an inoculation and if you caught the flu before the vaccination, it could be what is causing a fever. Use careful hand washing technique to protect others in case it is actually the flu and until you have gone 24 hours without a fever.

Full form of OPV Oral Polio Vaccine.

Chickenpox vaccination is typically given in the deltoid or vastus lateralis. The choice usually depends on the age of the patient.

when i took my son to the doctor he was on amoxicillian for an ear infection and he didn't vaccinate him. but i think the reason why is so that he will not get even more sick since his immune system is already trying to fight off one virus

While some veterinarians in Kentucky may have vaccinated against EPM in the past, there is no longer and EPM vaccine on the market. Fort Dodge, while able to prove the safety of their vaccine and having it conditionally licensed for several years, could not prove efficacy and so lost the license for the vaccine.

it is a different shape

It is a very valuable instrument to avoid that you die or become disabled from a serious disease in the future.
