If a vial of influenza vaccine is left out of the refrigerator on the pharmacy counter overnight, what should be done with the vaccine? - LO 5.4; Module 5— Vaccine Storage and Handling. If a vaccine has been exposed to temperatures outside the recommended range, the vaccine should be quarantined and stored in the refrigerator or freezer (as appropriate based on where the vaccine should usually be stored). In the case, the IIV should be placed back in the refrigerator. This quarantined vaccine should be clearly marked "do not use" and the manufacturer should be contacted for further guidance. Pharmacists should document each of these steps any time there is a break in the cold chain. The presence of fever, diffuse maculopapular rash, and Koplik spots are characteristic of which of the following diseases? - Module 3—Measles, Mumps, Rubella. Measles The classic symptoms of measles include fever, cough, coryza (runny nose), conjunctivitis, Koplik spots (a bluish-white rash on mucous membranes, especially the mouth), followed by the development of a maculopapular rash approximately 14 days after exposure. Individuals infected with mumps may not have symptoms. Others may have nonspecific symptoms, such as headache, fever, myalgia, and malaise. About 30% to 40% of individuals may experience inflammation of the parotid glands. Rubella symptoms tend to be relatively mild and may present as a maculopapular rash that occurs approximately 14 days after exposure. Others may experience arthritis and arthralgia. Varicella presents as a generalized vesicular rash. What is the type of immunity that occurs when a pregnant woman is vaccinated with Tdap to protect the infant from pertussis after birth? - LO2. 1; Module 2—Passive vs. Active Immunity Acquired immunity involves immunological memory. It is something the body develops upon exposure to pathogens or antigens and results in antigen-antibody complex formation. Cell-mediated immunity is a component of acquired immunity and destroys pathogens that have entered cells. Acquired immunity can be active or passive. Active immunity occurs when an antigen from an invading pathogen or a vaccine triggers the immune system to respond. Passive immunity happens when antibodies are provided from another source, such as or upon receipt of blood products or immunoglobulin when maternal antibodies are transferred to the fetus. This is the reason Tdap is given with every pregnancy— the maternal antibodies passed to the fetus protect the newborn from pertussis.
