PED Immunizations

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Vaccination   is actual process of administering agent; can be a toxoid, antitoxin or Ig  
🗑
Immunization   is process of inducing immunity which is active or passive  
🗑
Active Immunization   via vaccination or natural infection; permanent . Vaccination results in active immunity and immunologic memory consistent with natural infection but without risk of disease  
🗑
Passive Immunization   via exogenously formed antibodies; temporary  
🗑
Types of Vaccines   Live, attenuated, inactivated, subunit vaccines, recombinant vaccines, conjugated vaccines.  
🗑
Vaccines also usually contain:   Preservatives/stabilizers: (thymerosol) these inhibit microbial growthAdjuvants: usually aluminum salts that enhance host immune response  
🗑
Inactivated Vaccines   cannot replicate in hostusually require multiple dosesprotected in vivo against circulating antibodies  
🗑
Live, attenuated Vaccines   decreased pathogenicityeffectiveness depends on ability to replicateresponse similar to natural infectionusually effective with single dose  
🗑
Inactivated Vaccines   Influenza (TIV), polio, Hep A, Hep B, Diptheria, tetanus, penumococcal, meningococcal, HIV, HPV  
🗑
Live, attenuated Vaccines   measles, mumps, rubella,MMR, varicella, yellow fever, rotavirus, influencza (LAIV)  
🗑
recombinant   genes that code for a specific viral protein are expressed in another microbe. Ex: Hep B, HPV  
🗑
Conjugate   vaccines for bacteria with polysaccharide capsules; linked to protein carriers; ex: pneumococcal, HIV, meningococcal  
🗑
Subunit   produced from specific purified antigens. Ex: DTap, Tdap  
🗑
Vaccine general recommendation   Generally, vaccines recommended at youngest age at which risk of disease is greatest and desired immunologic response can be obtained  
🗑
Oral vaccine   rotavirus  
🗑
Routes of Administration   IM (most common; thigh), SQ: MMR, IPV, Varicella, Oral: rotavirus. Each injection is given at a different site with a different needle & syringe  
🗑
Information to Log   Log date given, manufacturer and lot #, name, title and address of person giving vaccine(s)Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)  
🗑
Currently, most children receive about ___ vaccines   40 between 0-18 years  
🗑
DTP   diptheria, tetanus, pertussis  
🗑
MCV   meningococcal  
🗑
Influenza vaccine recommended up to age   18  
🗑
DTap   Diptheria Tetanus and acellular pertussis (never give to anyone over 7; amount of pertussis that you can give a 5 yo would seriously harm a 7 yo)  
🗑
Tdap   given to kids over 7 yo.  
🗑
Hep A Reasons to vaccinate   children often have asymptomatic and/or unrecognized infections and therefore play major role in transmission of disease to adults. ACIP began incremental implemented of HepA in 1996; added nationwide 2007  
🗑
Only vaccine given 5 times before you are 6 yo   Diptheria, Tetanus, & Pertussis Vaccine (EXAM QUESTION)5 dose series given at 2 mos, 4 mos, 6 mos, 12-18 mos and a booster at 4-6 years  
🗑
Hep A   inactivated  
🗑
Hep B Reasons to vaccinate   Chronic infection more likely if infection acquired early in life. ~25% of HBV-infected infants will die of HBV-related disease. Transmission of HBV from child-to-child has been documented. 30% of HBV infxns occur in persons w/out a known risk factor  
🗑
Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis Vaccine: reasons to vaccinate   Pertussis infections occur in infants/young children:~20% in infants < 6 months and ~50% in children < 5 years. Serious complications: pneumonia, seizures, encephalopathy. Pertussis is highly contagious.  
🗑
Waning/lost immunity is problem w/ Pertussis   10x increase in pertussis cases in last decade with most cases in adolescents. Tdap vaccines debuted in 2005 for adolescents/adults. DTaP for children up to age 7  
🗑
Td   Td is the adult vaccine routinely given for booster  
🗑
adverse effects generally attributed to whole cell pertussis:   high fever, unusualy cry, seizures, rarely acute encephalitis, these have been decreased dramatically with DTap  
🗑
Adacel   Tdap vaccine approved for 11-64 yo  
🗑
Adolescents 11-18 who have already received Td   should get a single dose of Tdap  
🗑
HIB (haemophilus influenza) vaccine: reasons to vaccinate -   Before vaccine availability HiB was responsible for invasive disease in 1 in 200 children < 5 yrswas #1 cause of bacterial meningitis in children < 5 yrs; high rate of neurologic complicationspneumonia, cellulitis, epiglottitis, septic arthritis.  
🗑
IPV   inactivated polio virus. Reason to give:~85% of infected persons will transmit the virus to susceptible contactsmanifestations include subclinical infection (most common), non-specific viral syndrome, viral meningitis & paralytic polio (least common)  
🗑
Oral Polio vaccine notes   Oral vaccine (OPV) was long-time standard but associated with an increased risk of indigenously acquired disease (VAPP)  
🗑
Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine; Reasons to vaccinate -   few practicing clinicians recognize measles!measles causes >1 million deaths/yr worldwide, mumps can be severely painful, fetal infxn with rubella can be devastating (frequent outbreaks in latino communities). Combined more effective than individual  
🗑
AE of MMR   5-15% incidence of fever, 5% incidence of rash. parotid swelling; arthralgias (mumps vaccine)  
🗑
Varicella Vaccine   FDA-approved in 1995; widely adopted in 1999. Now required for school attendance in most states  
🗑
PCV-7   Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-7) Prevnar  
🗑
Major cause of severe gastroenteritis in children 0-5 yrs   Rotavirus. 1 in 80 US infants hospitalized annually. 1/2 million office visits annually. Immunocompromised children at increased risk of death. Virus shed in large #s in stool  
🗑
RotaTeq (RV)   Rotavirus. Prentavalent LIVE vaccine given orally. targets strains that cause >90% of rotavirus gastroenteritis in US  
🗑
Meningococcal vaccine is recommended between   ages 11-12. Highest risk populatinon: Freshmen in dormitories

Don't give LAIV to   kids and adults with asthma  
🗑
Influenza vaccine is recommended for   children with chronic disease and all children 6-59 months of age (now 6mos-18yrs) (TIV or LAIV if ≥ 2yrs)  
🗑
Influenza vaccine: reasons to vaccinate -   highly contagious virus, 0-2 yo at increased risk: no prior immunity, increased rate of hospitalization, neurologic and pulmonary copmlications. Children have highest attack rate (daycare, schools facilitate spread)  
🗑
Gardasil protects against which HPV strains?   6, 11, 16 &18. IM injection. recommended age: 11-12 yo females  
🗑
