1 IMMUNIZATION

2 Immunization Immunization Vaccination
Deliberate provocation of an adaptive immune response by introducing antigen into the body Vaccination Deliberate induction of an adaptive immune response to a pathogen by injecting a vaccine, a killed or attenuated form of the pathogen

3 Vaccination The best known and the most successful application of immunological principles to human health

4 Vaccine (from vacca, Latin for cow)
Dr. Edward Jenner, 1796 Material from cowpox lesions to vaccine an 8 y/o boy vs smallpox (1st vaccine)

5 Rabies Vaccine Dr. Louis Pasteur, 1885
Vaccinated a 9 y/o boy who had been bitten by a rabid dog Altered preparations of microbes could be used to generate enhanced immunity vs. the fully virulent organism

6 Ultimate goal: eradication of disease
Immediate goal: prevention of disease TYPES OF PROTECTION INDUCED: Complete protection for life Partial protection (booster doses)

7 GOALS CAN BE ACHIEVED IN 2 WAYS:
ACTIVE immunization PASSIVE immunization

8 ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION Involves administration of all or part of a microorganism or a modified product of that microorganism (toxoid, purified antigen, antigen produced by genetic engineering, to evoke an immunologic response mimicking that of the natural infection but which usually presents little or no risk to the recipient.

9 PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION the administration of preformed antibody to a recipient for the prevention and amelioration of infectious diseases ( temporary protection)

10 Immunity Active Passive Injection of an antigen Injection of preformed
(vaccine) antibiotics (gammaglobulins) Protection produced by the Protection transferred from person’s own immune another person or animal System Usually permanent Temporary protection that wanes with time

11 Passive Immunity SOURCES Almost all blood or blood products
Homologous pooled human antibody (immune globulin) Homologous human hyperimmune globulin Heterologous hyperimmune serum (antitoxin) Transplacental most important source in infancy

12 ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION - Live attenuated viral vaccine – Measles, MMR, OPV, Varicella - Inactivated viral vaccine – Influenza , Hep A, IPV, Hep B (recombinant DNA) - Detoxified exotoxin (Toxoid) – Diphtheria, Tetanus - Purified protein antigens – acellular Pertussis, Hep B - Whole cell pertussis vaccine – DTP - Inactivated acellular pertussis vaccine – DTaP - Capsular polysaccharide – Typhoid - Protein conjugated polysaccharide vaccine – Hib, Pneumococcal - Live attenuated bacterial vaccine – BCG (Bacille Calmette Guerin)

13 ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION - Generalities
Contraindications to ALL VACCINES: - serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) after a previous vaccine dose - serious allergic reaction to a vaccine component Precautions : - moderate or severe acute illness with or without fever

14 ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION - Generalities
Contraindications to ALL LIVE VACCINES: immunocompromised patients patients given immunoglobulin and blood products for the past 3 months pregnancy and possibility of getting pregnant within 3 months household contacts of immunocompromised patients* (OPV)

15 ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION - Generalities
Simultaneous administration of Multiple Vaccines: no contraindications for multiple vaccines routinely recommended immune response to one vaccine generally does not interfere with other vaccines

16 ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION - Generalities
There should be an interval of 28 days between administration of live vaccines After 7th birthday, Td is recommended for both primary and booster vaccination Interchangeability of vaccine products is allowed for primary and booster doses

17 ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION - Generalities
Lapsed immunizations: in general, intervals between vaccine doses that exceed those that are recommended do not adversely affect the immunologic response, provided immunization series is completed

26 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
BCG Vaccine: - live attenuated bacterial vaccine - at birth or anytime after birth ml ID from birth to 4 weeks; 0.1 ml ID beyond 1 month at right upper deltoid - booster dose given at school entry, 0.1 ml ID at left upper deltoid Contraindications: immunodeficiency, progressive dermatoses Reaction: abscess at the site; axillary lymphadenopathy

27 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
BCG Vaccine: Usual reactions: induration: 2 – 4 wks pustule formation: 5 – 7 wks scar formation: 2 – 3 months Accelerated Reactions: induration: 2-3 days pustule formation: 5-7 days scar formation: 2-3 weeks

28 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Hepatitis B vaccine: - inactivated viral antigen - 0, 1 & 6 months - if mother is HBsAg(+): give HBIg & Hep B #1 within 12 hours of birth, Hep B #2 at 1 month and Hep B #3 at 6 months of age - children and adolescents who have not been vaccinated with Hep B may begin series during any visit Contraindication: anaphylactic reaction to previous dose Reactions: pain and swelling at site, fever

29 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis: DTaP DT are toxoids aP is acellular pertussis DTP or DTwP P is killed or inactivated whole cell pertussis

30 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis: Usual Side Effects: fever up to 72 hours (low to moderate grade) restlessness and irritability local reaction: pain and swelling at the site of injection Contraindications: encephalopathy (coma, prolonged seizures & decreased level of consciousness) within 7 days of administration of previous dose anaphylactic shock after a previous dose progressive neurologic disorders: infantile spasms, uncontrolled epilepsy, progressive encephalopathy

31 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis: Precautions : fever greater than 40°C within 48 hours after administration of a previous dose collapse or shock-like state within 48 hours after receiving a previous dose seizures within 3 days of receiving a previous dose persistent, inconsolable crying lasting for 3 hours and within 48 hours after receiving a previous dose moderate or severe acute illness with or without fever

32 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Poliomyelitis Vaccine: 2 types of vaccines: Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) - live attenuated (Sabin) ml orally; or 2 drops (using multiple dose) Absolute contraindications: altered immune states (malignancies [lymphoma, leukemia], therapy with alkylating agents, metaboltes, high dose steroids, radiation, HIV/AIDS) pregnancy household contacts of immunocompromised patients Relative contraindications: vomiting and diarrhea Adverse Reaction: paralysis

33 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Poliomyelitis Vaccine: 2. Inactivated or Killed Polio Vaccine (IPV) - given IM IPV was recommended to decrease the incidence of vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP)

34 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Measles Vaccine: - live attenuated ml SC - given at 9 months but may be given as early as 6 months during epidemics Adverse reactions: fever with or without rashes (5-12 days after administration) hypersensitivity reaction Contraindication: immunocompromised state, pregnancy Relative Contraindication: untreated active tuberculosis

36 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccine: Reasons for giving 2 doses of MMR: only 87-90% of children actually receive the measles vaccine 5% of children who receive the first vaccine won’t develop immunity children who had an immune response to the first dose could get a “booster” effect Contraindications: same as other live vaccines

37 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Varicella Vaccine: - live attenuated ml SC - routinely given at age 12 months and up but can be given as early as 9 months - can be given within 5 days of exposure - a patient given varicella vaccine can also develop shingles although the incidence is less frequent and less severe as compared to the actual varicella infection - varicella vaccine prevents moderate to severe cases of chickenpox

38 Summary of Rules for Childhood Immunization
Varicella Vaccine: Recommendations: single dose for ages 1-12 years 2 doses 6-10 wks apart in children >13 years Safety of Varicella vaccine: the virus is so weak that it is not transferred from someone who got the vaccine to another person it can be given to children who are living in the home of someone whose immune system is weak may also be given to patients whose mother is pregnant
