Vaccinations

Common side effects of the Tetanus vaccine include pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site, mild fever, headache, and fatigue. More serious side effects are rare but can include severe allergic reactions or neurological problems. It is important to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider before getting the vaccine.

The first vaccine is the virus cowpox (the latin word for cow is vacca, hence vaccine). It produces a very mild and harmless infection in people but protects them from smallpox, one of the most deadly diseases in history.

Today, smallpox has been eradicated from the wild due to a worldwide effort to vaccinate enough people to wipe it out.

yes you do, because of all the dieases and stuff

uu would have to get some like..

hepatitus a+b,typoid,yellow fever,polio,rabies, tenatus (if uu havent already had it) and measles (MMR).

hope this clears things up.

In the disk diffusion test (also called the Kirby Bauer test), disks containing an antimicrobial agent are placed on the surface of an agar plate containing a medium that has been inoculated with the disease agent being tested, which will grow and fill the disk. The antimicrobial agent diffuses into the medium, killing some of the disease agent around where the anitmicrobial agent was innoculated, depending on how susceptible the disease agent is to the antimicrobial agent. The size of the area cleared of the disease agent shows how effective the antimicrobial agent is.

I am afraid the answer below is wrong, as researchers have managed to make one to the core proteins that don't change between strains. I was just wondering why it hadn't been done earlier. (quote of Wrong answer) There is no universal flu vaccine. It must be reformulated each year to try to match the flu strains though likely to be most important in the coming flu season. (end quote of wrong answer)

The fact that a universal flu has not been made earlier (though as of October 2008 is not commercially available) likely has to do with funding issues, changing technologies and the requirement for studies and clinical trials.

Since Type A flu mutates more readily than Type B, the research is aimed at finding and utilizing aspects flu viruses that do not readily mutate. So the mechanisms that would make it work are not the normal killed-virus vaccine. They must go through a process of studies and clinical trials before they will be approved by FDA. Fear of the Avian flu has spurred the research.

CHEMOTHERAPY: The treatment of illness or disease by chemicals. The compounds used are known as chemotheraputic agents. PASTEURIZATION: The process of heating milk and other liquids to destroy microorganisms which can cause spoilage or disease. STERILE FILTRATION: The process of filtering heat liable substances like enzymes and some drugs. The filter used can filter out microorganisms e.g. HEPA filter. VACCINATION: A prepration of either killed microoganism; living, weakened microorganism; or inactivated bacterial toxins, when adminstrated to induce development of the immune response and protect the individual against a pathogen or a toxin is called vaccination. RADIATION: The treatment of illness or disease like cancer by radiations lide magnetic radiations is called radiation therapy.

Live vaccines are made from weakened or attenuated forms of viruses or bacteria that are capable of reproducing in the body without causing disease. These vaccines stimulate the immune system to create a robust response, providing long-lasting immunity. Some examples include the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the oral polio vaccine.

I'm not an expert, but from what I can gather, vaccinations are used for both virus' and pathogenic bacteria (harmful bacteria).

Vaccines contain a section/segment of the virus or bacteria (for example a flagella) to infect the body. The body then produces memory cells so that the body has an immunity against the virus or bacteria (note that this immunity may not last a lifetime).

Microorganisms are used in vaccine production to grow the viruses or bacteria that will be used as the basis for the vaccine. They are also used in the process of creating antigens or proteins that mimic the pathogens in order to stimulate an immune response. Additionally, microorganisms are sometimes used to test the safety and efficacy of vaccines during the production process.

BCG is a vaccination against tuberculosis. The full form of BCG is Bacille Calmette Guerin. The vaccine can protect for up to 15 years.

There is currently no specific vaccine available for preventing rickettsial infections such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever or typhus. Prevention primarily involves avoiding exposure to infected ticks or fleas, using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and promptly removing ticks. Treatment usually involves antibiotics.

Vaccines are beneficial in that they have helped prevent millions of cases of infectious disease, and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Vaccines have eliminated the scourge of smallpox from the face of the earth, and polio and other diseases have been largely controlled.

A vaccine acts by stimulating a person's own immune system to produce antibodies against parts of a bacterium or virus. When the person is once again exposed to that bacterium or virus, the body can quickly produce antibodies and prevent infection.

In addition, vaccines can protect individuals who have not been immunized. If the percentage of the population that is vaccinated is high enough, epidemics can't take hold, as there are not enough susceptible individuals for the infection to spread. This helps to protect those individuals who are either unable to take the vaccine, unable to mount an immune response (chronically illl individuals, infants under 6 months old, people on immunosuppressant medications), or who had a poor response to the vaccine (and didn't become immune).

Louis Pasteur developed the rabies vaccine, which was first used in 1885 on a boy named Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. The anthrax vaccine was developed by Louis Pasteur as well in the late 19th century.

No. Thimerosol is a preservative often used in vaccines. TRACE amounts of mercury are present, but far too little to be harmful.

Many people have refused to have their children vaccinated against common childhood diseases for fear that the minuscule amounts of mercury could cause autism; however, this fear is unfounded. The scientist who had been making this claim has now been discredited. Unfortunately, thousands of children have fallen ill to preventable diseases, and a few hundred have died.

The small amount of mercury present in thimerosal is in the form of ethylmercury unlike the kind found in tuna fish which is methylmercury. Unlike methylmercury, which is infamous for bioaccumulation, ethylmercury does not collect in your body the same way.

BCG, or bacille Calmette-Guerin, is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease. This vaccine is not commonly given in the US. Previously a routine childhood vaccine in the UK, since it is no longer routine there have been several outbreaks.

Vaccinations help to protect individuals from getting sick by teaching the immune system how to recognize and fight off specific infections. They also contribute to herd immunity, which helps to protect those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons. Overall, vaccinations are a safe and effective way to prevent the spread of contagious diseases and save lives.

Yes, certain medications can cause changes in the smell of urine. For example, antibiotics like amoxicillin can sometimes give urine a strong, unusual odor. It's always a good idea to check with a healthcare provider if you notice any significant changes in the smell of your urine while taking medications.

For me the first one hurt more, as i worried more! As long

as you move your arm and move the fluids it will not ache after. Dont tense and Dont panic! Good luck sweet xx

The kind of shots needed depends on where your school is located and the rules and regulations regarding vaccinations for that area and whether or not you had your childhood immunization shots.

Vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US are:

Diptheria

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

Influenza

Measles

Menigococcal Disease

Mumps

Pertussis (Whooping Cough)

Pneumococcal Disease

Polio

Rotavirus

Rubella (German Measles)

Tetanus (lockjaw)

Varicella (chicken pox)

It depends if the monkey was wild or in a zoo/pet setting. Usually the vaccines given are Tetanus, and Rabies post-exposure shots. If the animal was in a zoo or pet then chance it has rabies are slim to none. Personally I would forgo the rabies shots. There has never been a reported case in the us of a primate with Rabies. The monkey would have to exposed to rabies first just as in humans. Tetanus shots are given more so to prevent infection from dirt which may enter the bite area, not so much the actual bite. Really the most important thing when bitten by a monkey, or any animal really, is to keep the bite wound clean, and away from dirt. If the bite wound is severe doctor will prescribe an antibiotic such as Amoxicillin.

If the animal was wild then the risk of carrying disease is slightly higher, but usually people are given the above shots and are fine. Its really not that serious. The only monkey which may potentially carry a virus is macaques who sometimes carry Herpes B. But it is very difficult to transmit, as the animal must be under severe stress to transmit it. Again there has never been a case in the US of macs shedding herpes B in the pet or zoo sector. Only 2 cases in research labs where animals are sometimes under severe stress.

Yeah, I guess. I don't know what will happen to you, but I don't think a vaccine will stop you from putting a glass to your mouth.

No, you can not.
