Vaccinations

No, they are different infectious diseases of the respiratory system. However, they can be associated since bronchitis and pneumonia are common complications of influenza. Influenza is caused only by influenza viruses, but bronchial pneumonia, bronchitis and other respiratory infections can also be caused by other infectious agents such as bacteria and fungi.

Typically, the rabies vaccine your vet gives to your cat/dog/other animal lasts one year the first time given, and the following rabies shot is usually for three years. Your vet probably sends out reminders to get pets vaccinated, but if your animal gets bitten by a raccoon/skunk/something known to have rabies, you can always take it in to get a booster shot to prevent any chance of your pet getting rabies.

The discovery was made by the French Calmette and Guerin who instituted the basis for the vaccine against tuberculosis by using a low virulence Tb bacteria vaccine. The last step needed in the therapy of tuberculosis was made in the middle of the Second World War when chemotherapy was invented.

Yes! I did and it can happen to you! I woke up with a stuffy nose, conjested, coughing, and feeling tired and dizzy. It also took a week to go away.

If you're thirteen or older, you can get the second chickenpox vaccine as long as it's been at least 28 days since the last one. For patients under thirteen, they must wait three months minimum until the second vaccine.

People might have weak bodies that can not deal with pathogens.

There might be live viruses in the vaccine that can kill someone.

People might be allergic to needles.

Allergic Reactions.

Too many microbes in vaccine.

Too little microbes in vaccines (people might think the person is ready for the illness when they are not.

A flu shot will prevent the type of influenza virus or viruses that have been used to make the vaccine. A,nd it may sometimes protect against a different, but very similar, strain.

the over all pattern has gone down ;)

There were some reports of dizziness and confusion among some Japanese teenagers who got the vaccination, along with some who had other neurological symptoms including hallucination. The side effects were short lived, but in some cases were serious. It is not clear why these teens in Japan had these symptoms, since they have not been reported by any recipients in the US, there is evaluation and monitoring underway to try to determine if the vaccine was the cause, and if there is a possible genetic or ethnic reason for those side effects to have been found only in those patients so far. In the mean time when adolescents and teenagers are getting the vaccine, they should be observed for any neurological symptoms such as these for the first few hours after the vaccination and report any signs like this immediately to the doctor.

Slight dizziness is one of the side effects that is more common from any flu shot, along with a low fever, aches, and soreness at the site of the injection.

The vaccines themselves contain no latex. The rubber in the syringes and vials is latex free. Tell the clinician who will give you the vaccine that you are allergic to latex before they give you the vaccination to be safest and to prevent their use of latex gloves during the vaccination. See questions below for the ingredients of the vaccines.

Yes. The cholera vaccine is a killed vaccine.

Some vaccinations lose their effectiveness over time, so you could call them temporary. Sometimes this is because the organism mutates and the vaccine is no longer a "fit" to protect against the mutated form, and sometimes it is because our bodies need a "reminder" of the pattern of antibodies that prevent the disease, or sometimes there was not a complete immune response the first time (booster, often needed in children whose immune systems may have been immature when they were given the original vaccination and didn't respond fully). However, many other vaccines provide life-long protection against the infective agent (antigen), such as the commonly given MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella).

I had athletes foot for almost a year and i thought it would never go away but i discovered how. Talk to your doctor, i took a few different kinds of pills in order to reduce sweating and swelling. Also constantly wear slippers and always clean off ur feet and in between ur toes. Some powders i recommend when using shoes are Zeasorb-AF make sure AF. Lastly when u think ur athletes foot is gone always play it safe and keep using ur method of clearing it because it can easily come back so play it safe for around 2-4 weeks.

It is the Purified Protein Derivative tuberculin skin test.

It is a vaccine to prevent Whooping Cough (also known as Pertussis).

Adults should get seasonal influenza vaccine annually.

If you have been exposed to the virus that causes H1N1 Pandemic Swine Flu, either from having had the flu or from getting a vaccination for it, then your body will have made antibodies to the virus, as long as you have a healthy immune system. Once your body has made antibodies to that virus, you are immune to the disease if exposed in the future, as long as it is the exact same virus and not a mutated form of it. This immunity is provided by the previously made antibodies.

Flu shots do not cause autism. Because when one identical twin has autism, the other twin almost always has autism, too, we know that it is in the genes. Some of the genes associated with autism have been identified. But, since there are rare occasions when the other twin does not have autism, it is thought that something extra must trigger the development of autism in those persons who have the genes for it. The factors that could trigger autism genes are not known.

1. to avoid getting the disease ourselves
2. to minimize the severity and duration if we do get the disease
3. to create "herd immunity" in the population, slowing the spread of the disease and reducing the chance of epidemics
4. for a very few very serious diseases highly specific to humans total eradication of the disease in the wild (e.g. this was successfully done for smallpox, was nearly done for polio and could be done in the future, and perhaps another half dozen similar diseases at some point in the distant future)

It is quite normal and not uncommon for your arm to sometimes be tender, red and swollen at the point of the injection of the vaccine. This is due to the desired immune system response to the vaccination. It means the shot is working and so is your immune system. It usually lasts less than 3 days. The best thing to do, even though it may hurt more at first, is to use the arm normally. The more you use it doing normal things, the less it will hurt. You can take mild analgesics like Tylenol or Ibuprofen if it is too uncomfortable, or ask your pharmacist what would be helpful to make you more comfortable. But the best thing is use and time. If it stays sore for longer than a few days, contact your health care professional to be sure that you don't need an exam to rule out a bacterial infection from the needle. Drink plenty of fluids.

The MMR Vaccine contains tiny doses of living but inactivated viruses that cause measles, mumps and rubella. Once these viruses are injected into the body, the immune system will develop certain antibodies against these three diseases shortly following vaccination. Because your body has memory cells it now knows how to defeat these diseases when they enter the body again, and it will know which certain antibodies it needs to produce; these antibodies in your body will give a lifelong protection against these diseases.

active natural

Yes, vaccines contain a weakened form of the disease that is injected into the bloodstream, your immune system detects this weakened disease as a threat and neutralizes it, but also copies the coding of the disease so you can quickly get rid of it if or when it attacks.

Vaccines are not effective against a virus for very long though, due to a virus changing its structure , but for most bacteria diseases it is.

H1N1 is the general name of several influenza viruses, of which H1N1/09, the pandemic swine flu, is one. It is a Type A influenza virus and the H and N stand for the two proteins on the outer surface of the virus. See the related question below with more information about the make up of H1N1.
