Pediatric vaccination review summer update LAUREN RIDDERIKHOFF, DO – PGY 2 FAMILY MEDICINE LAKE CUMBERLAND REGIONAL HOSPITAL

OBJECTIVES OVERVIEW UPDATED VACCINE SCHEDULE AND GUIDELINES 2017 TYPES OF IMMUNITY TYPES OF VACCINES VACCINE MISCONCEPTIONS TRUE CONTRAINDICATIONS PREVENTABLE DISEASES UPDATED VACCINE SCHEDULE AND GUIDELINES 2017 CATCH UP GUIDELINES TALKING TO YOUR PATIENTS

TYPES OF immunity HERD IMMUNITY1 When the majority of the community has been vaccinated against a contagious disease there is not much opportunity for an outbreak Those who are unable to be vaccinated such as immunocompromised, pregnant women, or infants are also protected to a certain degree because those who are vaccinated decrease the likelihood of an outbreak and therefore decrease the likelihood the unvaccinated will catch a contagious disease The higher the proportion of individuals who are immune, the lower the likelihood that a susceptible person will come into contact with an infected individual. Public health’s general aim is to establish herd immunity in most populations. Complications arise when widespread vaccination is not possible or when vaccines are rejected by a part of the population (e.g. parental refusal to immunize). Since only a small fraction of the population (or herd) can be left unvaccinated for this method to be effective, it is considered best left for those who cannot safely receive vaccines because of a medical condition such as an immune disorder or for organ transplant recipients. (Kashif Iqbal, MPH; Leonard Mayer, PhD; Pamela Srivastava, MS; Nancy Rosenstein Messonnier, MD, MPH; Kristine M. Bisgard, DVM, MPH, Manual for the Surveillance of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (4th Edition, 2008)).

TYPES OF IMMUNITY ACTIVE IMMUNITY5 Immunity to a disease through creation of antibodies Exposure to the disease organism can occur through infection with the actual disease (natural immunity), or introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination (vaccine-induced immunity) If an exposed person comes into contact with that disease in the future, their immune system will recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight it Active immunity is long term

Types of immunity ACTIVE IMMUNITY6 Bacteria, virus, or parasite infects a cell The cell expresses the pathogen’s antigen on the cell surface T cells bind to the antigen on the surface of the infected cell Binding activates the T cells Nearby T helper cells release cytokines causing the activated T cells to differentiate into cytotoxic T cells Cytotoxic T cells then lyse the infected cells and promote macrophage phagocytosis B cells also bind to T helper cells The antigen binds to the B cell receptor (antibody) inducing differentiation into memory B cells and plasma B cells which produce antibodies to the antigen

Types of immunity PASSIVE IMMUNITY5 When a person is given antibodies to a disease rather than producing them through his or her own immune system A newborn baby from its mother via the placenta Through antibody-containing blood products (immune globulin), which may be given when immediate protection from a specific disease is needed Protection from the disease is immediate, whereas active immunity takes time (usually several weeks) to develop Passive immunity is short term

Types of vaccines LIVE, ATTENUATED10 Contain a version of the living microbe that has been weakened– it cannot cause the disease Elicit strong cellular and antibody responses that usually provides long term immunity in only 1-2 doses Retains its ability to replicate or mutate Need to be refrigerated Smallpox, MMR, Varicella, Intranasal Influenza, Rotavirus, Zoster, Yellow Fever, Typhoid

Types of vaccines INACTIVATED10 Produced by killing the disease-causing microbe with chemicals, heat, or radiation Stimulate a weaker immune system response than do live vaccines Usually takes booster dosing to maintain a person’s immunity Polio, Hepatitis A, Rabies

Types of vaccines SUBUNIT10 Include only the specific parts of the antigen that antibodies or T cells recognize and bind to in order to stimulate the immune system in a specific way Chances of adverse reactions are lower Hepatitis B, Influenza injection, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Pertussis, Pneumococcal, Meningococcal, HPV Research is ongoing for a recombinant subunit vaccine for Hepatitis C

Types of vaccines TOXOID10 Used when the bacterial toxin is the main cause for an illness Scientists inactivate the bacterial toxin into a toxoid using formalin Diphtheria, Tetanus

Vaccine misconceptions11 “Vaccine-preventable diseases have been virtually eliminated from my country, so there is no need for my child to be vaccinated.” We have reduced many vaccine-preventable diseases to low levels in many countries however many are still prevalent in other countries Anyone travelling may bring a vaccine-preventable disease back to any country and if not protected by vaccines these diseases could quickly spread throughout the population Vaccinate for TWO reasons: To protect ourselves To protect others who cannot be vaccinated

Vaccine misconceptions11 “Vaccines cause many harmful side effects, illnesses, and even death - not to mention possible long-term effects we don't even know about.” Most vaccine adverse advents are minor and temporary More serious adverse events are very rare, some even rare enough that risk is not able to be quantified A child is significantly more likely to be harmed from a vaccine preventable disease than from the vaccine itself For example: According to an analysis of the benefit and risk of DTP immunization, if there was no immunization program in the United States, pertussis cases could increase 71-fold and deaths due to pertussis could increase four-fold

Vaccine misconceptions11 “Giving a child multiple vaccinations for different diseases at the same time increases the risk of harmful side effects and can overload the immune system” Eating food, putting toys in their mouths-examples of things that expose children to foreign antigens every day An upper respiratory viral infection exposes a child to 4-10 antigens, and a case of strep pharyngitis 25-50 antigens Multiple studies have shown that simultaneous vaccination with multiple vaccines has no adverse effect on the normal childhood immune system We want to immunize children as early as possible to give them protection during the most vulnerable part of their lives Giving several vaccinations at the same time will also mean fewer clinic visits for vaccinations- saves parents time and money and can be less traumatic According to "Adverse events Associated with childhood vaccines", a 1994 report from the Institute of Medicine in the United States, "In the face of these normal events, it seems unlikely that the number of separate antigens contained in childhood vaccines . . . would represent an appreciable added burden on the immune system that would be immuno-suppressive

Vaccine misconceptions11 “The majority of people who get disease have been vaccinated” True, no vaccine is 100% effective, however not all vaccinated persons develop immunity Most routine childhood vaccines are effective for 85% to 95% of recipients In the US the number of people who have been vaccinated far outnumbers the amount of those who have not, so if there were to be an outbreak both unvaccinated and vaccinated persons who may have not developed immunity will become infected, as expected As you can see, this doesn't prove the vaccine didn't work — only that most of the children in the class had been vaccinated, so those who were vaccinated and did not respond outnumbered those who had not been vaccinated. Looking at it another way, 100% of the children who had not been vaccinated got measles, compared with less than 1% of those who had been vaccinated.

Do vaccines work? Disease incidence for all vaccine preventable diseases rapidly declined after vaccines were made available for each disease Current US sources of the diseases are foreign born people living in the US who have acquired the disease elsewhere or unvaccinated US citizens

Examples: Measles4 In 1954, John F. Enders and Dr. Thomas C. Peebles collected blood samples from ill students during a measles outbreak in Boston, Massachusetts In 1963, they transformed their Edmonston-B strain of measles virus into a vaccine and licensed it in the United States In 1968, an improved measles vaccine began to be distributed By 1981, the number of reported measles cases decreased by 80% Measles was declared eliminated (absence of continuous disease transmission for greater than 12 months) from the United States in 2000

measles4

Diphtheria3 The United States recorded 206,000 cases of diphtheria in 1921, resulting in 15,520 deaths Starting in the 1920s, diphtheria rates dropped quickly in the United States and other countries with the widespread use of vaccines In the past decade, there were less than five cases of diphtheria in the United States reported to CDC

pertussis7 The incubation period of pertussis is commonly 7–10 days, with a range of 4–21 days The most common complication, and the cause of most pertussis-related deaths, is secondary bacterial pneumonia with highest risk to young infants During 2012, 48,277 cases of pertussis were reported to CDC, including 20 pertussis-related deaths-the most reported cases since 1955 During 2014, 32,971 cases of pertussis were reported to CDC-a 15% increase compared 28,639 cases reported during 2013 Potential reasons why we’re seeing more cases including: increased awareness, improved diagnostic tests, better reporting, more circulation of the bacteria, waning immunity, some decrease in vaccination

pertussis7 Whole cell pertussis vaccines are associated with higher rates of minor and temporary side effects such as fever and pain and swelling at the injection site. Rare but serious neurologic adverse reactions, including chronic neurological problems, rarely occurred among children who had recently received whole cell vaccines

True contraindications2 PREGNANCY During pregnancy and up to 4 weeks prior to conception IMMUNOSUPPRESSED HIV patients with CD4 count <200 Long term immunosuppressive therapy (Ex: Prednisone 20mg daily or 2mg/kg for >2 weeks) Congenital immunodeficiency Hematologic and solid tumors Receipt of chemotherapy

True contraindications2 ALLERGY Severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis after a previous dose or to a vaccine component ENCEPHALOPATHY Encephalopathy within 7 days after administration dose of pertussis-containing vaccine that is not attributable to another identifiable cause

Precautions2 A condition that might increase the risk for a serious adverse reaction, might cause diagnostic confusion, or might compromise the ability of the vaccine to produce immunity (e.g., administering measles vaccine to a person with passive immunity to measles from a blood transfusion administered up to 7 months prior) In general, deferral of vaccination is appropriate when a precaution is present However, a vaccination might be indicated in the presence of a precaution if the benefit outweighs the risk for an adverse reaction Most are vaccine specific

General Precautions2 Presence of a moderate or severe acute illness with or without a fever. (Vaccinations should be deferred for persons with a moderate or severe illness) GBS <6 weeks after a previous dose of a vaccine A recent study found an increased risk for febrile seizures in children 12-23 months who receive MMRV compared with MMR and varicella vaccine Defer until neuro status clarified and stable.

influenza8 Everyone 6 months and older should be vaccinated annually CDC recommends use of injectable influenza vaccines (including inactivated influenza vaccines and recombinant influenza vaccines) Intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine (FluMist) should not be used during the 2016-2017 influenza season Both trivalent (three-component) and quadrivalent (four-component) flu vaccines will be available Precaution in severe egg allergy other than hives, e.g., angioedema, respiratory distress, lightheadedness, emesis, reaction requiring epinephrine or other emergency medical intervention (may be administered in an inpatient or outpatient medical setting under the supervision of a health care provider) Recent studies show FluMist had lower than expected effectiveness to H1N1 strains during 2013-2016 flu seasons.

Talking to your patients9 COMMUNICATION IS KEY Give strong recommendation to vaccinate Encourage and be open to questioning Educate on importance of vaccines, even for diseases that most may be unfamiliar with “Autism is a burden for many families, but well designed and conducted studies that I can share with you show that MMR vaccine is not a cause of autism.” “There’s no proven danger in getting all the recommended 2-month vaccines today. Any time you delay a vaccine you leave your baby vulnerable to disease so it is best to stay on schedule. If you’re uncomfortable, we can give some vaccines today and schedule you to come back in two weeks for the rest, however this is not recommended.” https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/conversations/conv-materials.html Evidence shows giving a strong recommendation to vaccinate increases vaccination rates. Communication manner should be not “directing” but should be an open dialogue acknowledging, without minimizing parental concerns.
