Attenuated Whole Agent Vaccines -MMR (measles, mumps, rubella vaccine)
-VAR (varicella [chickenpox] vaccine)
-Zoster (Zostavax shingles vaccine)
-LAIV (nasal Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine;
Flu Mist)
-RV (RotaTeq & Rotarix rotavirus oral vaccines)
Inactivated Whole Agent Vaccines -vaccine contains inactivated "dead" microbes
-incapable of infecting the host
PROS:
safe--no chance of infection from the vaccine
IPV (Injected Polio Vaccine)
IIV (Inactivated Influenza Vaccine)
HepA (Hepatitis A vaccine)
,Toxoids Vaccine that contains inactivated bacterial toxins
PROS:
safe--no chance of disease from vaccine
CONS:
immunity to toxoids is short-lived
boosters required for life
DtaP, Tdap (Tetanus vaccine)
DtaP, Tdap (Diphtheria vaccine)
Acellular or Subunit Vaccine Vaccine contains purified microbial antigens
PROS:
safe--no chance of infection
HepB (hepatitis vaccine)
DtaP, Tdap (pertussis/whooping cough vaccine)
HPV4, HPV2 (human papillomavrius & cervical
cancer vaccines)
PPSV23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine)
, Conjugated Vaccines Vaccine contains sugars purified from bacterial
surfaces combined with a carrier molecule
PROS:
-safe--no chance of infection
-children < 18 months of age generally have a
poor immune response to sugars
-combining the sugars with a carrier molecule
induces a better immune response
Hib (Hemophilus influenzae B conjugate vaccine)
PCV13 (Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine)
MCV4 (Meningococcal conjugate vaccine)
Polio -caused by poliovirus
-poliovirus is transmitted by food, water,
contaminated hands, and fomites via the fecal-
oral route
-95-98% of polio cases are subclinical or cause
"flu-like" illness
- mild cases or subclinical carriers shed
poliovirus
- difficult to trace outbreaks to their sources
-2-5% of polio cases involve the nervous system
and become paralytic
-can cause limb paralysis or respiratory paralysis
