what is the difference between Tdap and DTaP?

- DTaP is for <7 yrs old. while Tdap is for >7 yrs old and for the adolescent booster shot at age 10-11. - Tdap, has a reduced dose of the diphtheria and pertussis vaccines, is approved for adolescents starting at age 11 and adults ages 19 to 64. It is often called a booster dose because it boosts the immunity that wanes from vaccines given at ages 4 to 6.

reactions to vaccines

- can be reaction to the preservatives in the vaccine mixture and not the vaccine itself. -hepB Vaccine- yeast allergy contraindication. -influenza vaccine- egg allergy. thimoresal- contains mecury- was present in some vaccines. some related this to cause autism. - inactivated viruses reactions- usually are mild local tenderness, erythema and swelling at injection site and low grade fever.

varicella (chicken pox)

- single dose of live attenuated form, 0.5ml SubQ. -1st dose- 12-18 months -2nd dose- 4-6 yrs - minimum age to receive vaccine - 12 months -second dose may be given before age 4 as long as atleast 3 months have passed from the first dose. - minimum interval is 3 months but 4 weeks can be accepted as valid. - the 2nd dose is to ensure immunity. but breakthrough illness can occur but there are reduced vesicles and shorter illness. -var can be given with mmr as long as different injection sites and syringes are used but if not given at the same time, you must wait 3 months. -var can also be given with DTap, IPV, HepB or HIB.

polio vaccine

- the vaccination is an inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV). - all children should receive 4 doses of IPV at 2months, 4months, 6-18months and 4-6yrs of age.

Tetanus

- there are 3 forms of the tetanus vaccine: tetanus toxoid, tetanus immunoglobulin, and tetanus antitoxin (no longer available in the US). -tetanus toxoid is used for routine vaccination, and it provides protective antitoxin levels for 10yrs. -for wound management TIG can be given. Td boosters should be given to children after 10yrs if Tdap was received in adolescence.

Hib vaccine schedule

-2 or 3 dose series with a final booster dose (so 3 or for shots total). at 12-15 months.

Haemophilus influenzae type B

-protects against many diseases caused by Hib- bacterial meningitis, epiglottitis, bacterial pneumonia, septic arthritis and sepsis. -Hib is a conjugated vaccine that is attached to a nontoxic form of another organism such as the tetanus toxoid, or diptheria protein, which increases the antibody response especially in infants. -hiberex- conjugate vaccine for the booster (final) dose of the Hib vaccine series for children aged 12 months to 4yrs. -injection is given via intramuscular site using a separate site and syringe from the other vaccines.

diptheria

-rare in the US but can result in severe morbidity. -has respiratory manifestations: respiratory nasopharyngitis or obstructive laryngotracheitis with upper airway obstruction. -cutaneous manifestations: vaginal, otic, conjuctival lesions. -give a single dose of equine antitoxin to a child with clinical symptoms due to fulminant progression of the disease. -vaccine can be given combined with tetanus and pertussis or dTaP with HIB. -diptheria vaccine does not produce absolute immunity, the protection lasts for 10 years, booster shots should be given every 10 yrs.

Mumps

-recommended at 12-15 months. -should not be given to infants younger than 12months because maternal antibodies will interfere with the immune response. -mumps immunization is recommended for all individuals born after 1957 who may be suseptible to mumps.

Cocooning

Strategy of protecting infants from pertussis by vaccinating all persons who come in close contact with the infant, including the mother, grandparents, and healthcare workers

polyvalent vaccine

a vaccine that immunizes against more than one disease

natural immunity

acquired as part of normal life experiences

combination vaccine

combination of multiple vaccines into one parenteral form

children who began primary immunization at the recommended age but fail to receive all doses

do not need to begin the immunization series again and they only need to receive the missed doses.

the use of meningococcal and diphtheria proteins in combination vaccines

does not mean the child has received adequate immunization for meningococcal or diptheria illnesses. the child must be given vaccines for those diseases.

emergency management of anaphylaxis

drug: epinepherine 0.01 mg/kg up to a max of 0.3kg. epipen observe for adverse reactions: tachycardia, hypertension, irritability, headaches, nausea and tremors.

what is the importance of needle length in vaccination?

fewer reactions to immunization is observed when it is given deep into the intramuscular tissue rather than subcutaneous tissue.

acquired immunity

immunity that the body develops after it overcomes a disease, or through inoculation (such as vaccination)

what is the recommended needle size for different age groups?

newborn- 2 months: 16mm (5/8 inches) infants: 25mm (1inch) toddlers and older children: 16-25 mm (5/8- 1inch) for deltoid and 25-32mm (1-1.2 inches) for vastus lateralis. use deltoid in children 18 months or older.

why was the use of oral polio vaccine changed to the use of IPV?

oral polio vaccine is related to the risk of vaccine associated polio paralysis (VAPP). the use of IPV has removed this risk.

rotavirus is one of the leading causes of severe diarrhea in infants and young children. schedule: rotarix- 2 and 4 months rotateq- 2, 4 and 6 months. - infants must receive the first dose before 15 months. - infants must receive the 2nd dose before 8 months. minimum age to receive the first dose is 6 weeks. - vaccine is administered orally.

passive immunity

the short-term immunity that results from the introduction of antibodies from another person or animal. ie antibody transfusion and to fetus via placenta or breastmilk.

conjugate vaccine

vaccine composed of a polysaccharide antigen covalently attached to a large protein molecule, to produce a greater immune response (ie. HIb vaccine).

Monovalent vaccine

vaccine designed to vaccinate against a single antigen or organism

active immunity

when antibodies are formed by the body against specific antigens that have been introduced either naturally or artificially.
