Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Immunization" by Dr Rasha salama.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about immunization, also known as vaccination. Immunization is the process of protecting an individual against infectious diseases by stimulating their immune system with a vaccine. Vaccines contain weakened or killed versions of the pathogen, or pieces of the pathogen (antigens), which are not capable of causing disease but can still trigger the immune system to produce an immune response. This immune response produces antibodies that can fight off the actual pathogen if the individual is exposed to it in the future.

Immunization is a highly effective way of preventing the spread of infectious diseases and is one of the most important public health interventions of the last century. Immunization has helped to eradicate or control many infectious diseases, including polio, smallpox, and measles.

It is recommended that individuals receive certain vaccines at specific ages or stages of life, such as childhood vaccines, adolescent vaccines, and adult vaccines. Vaccination schedules vary depending on the country and the individuals health status.

Some common types of vaccines include live attenuated vaccines, inactivated vaccines, subunit, conjugate, and toxoid vaccines. The specific type of vaccine used depends on the pathogen being targeted and the desired immune response.

While immunization is generally safe and effective, some people may experience mild side effects, such as pain or redness at the injection site, fever, or muscle aches. Severe allergic reactions are rare but can occur. It is important to discuss any concerns or questions about immunization with a healthcare provider.

Immunity Specific defenses Immunity Passive immunity Active immunity Following clinical infection Following subclinical infection Following vaccination Following administration of Immunoglobulin or antiserum Transfer of maternal Antibodies Through milk Transfer of maternal Antibodies Through placenta natural acquired
Slide 3-

Active immunity Resistance developed in response to stimulus by an antigen (infecting agent or vaccine) and is characterized by the production of antibodies by the host.
Slide 4-

Passive immunity Immunity conferred by an antibody produced in another host. It may be acquired naturally or artificially (through an antibody-containing preparation).
Slide 5-

Immunizing agents
Slide 6-

Immunoglobulins There are 5 major classes: IgM, IgA, IgG, IgE, IgD. Two types of immunoglobulin preparations are available for passive immunization: Normal human immunoglobulin Specific (hyper-immune) human immunoglobulin
Slide 7-

Antisera or antitoxins These are materials prepared in animals or non human sources such as horses.
Slide 8-

Immunoglobulin and antiserum
Slide 9-

Vaccination Vaccination is a method of giving antigen to stimulate the immune response through active immunization. A vaccine is an immuno-biological substance designed to produce specific protection against a given disease. A vaccine is “antigenic” but not “pathogenic”.
Slide 10-

Types of vaccines Live vaccines Attenuated live vaccines Inactivated (killed vaccines) Toxoids Polysaccharide and polypeptide (cellular fraction) vaccines Surface antigen (recombinant) vaccines.
Slide 11-

Live vaccines Live vaccines are made from live infectious agents without any amendment. The only live vaccine is “Variola” small pox vaccine, made of live vaccinia cow-pox virus (not variola virus) which is not pathogenic but antigenic, giving cross immunity for variola.
Slide 12-

Live attenuated (avirulent) vaccines Virulent pathogenic organisms are treated to become attenuated and avirulent but antigenic. They have lost their capacity to induce full-blown disease but retain their immunogenicity. Live attenuated vaccines should not be administered to persons with suppressed immune response due to: Leukemia and lymphoma Other malignancies Receiving corticosteroids and anti-metabolic agents Radiation pregnancy
Slide 13-

Inactivated (killed) vaccines Organisms are killed or inactivated by heat or chemicals but remain antigenic. They are usually safe but less effective than live attenuated vaccines. The only absolute contraindication to their administration is a severe local or general reaction to a previous dose.
Slide 14-

Toxoids They are prepared by detoxifying the exotoxins of some bacteria rendering them antigenic but not pathogenic. Adjuvant (e.g. alum precipitation) is used to increase the potency of vaccine. The antibodies produces in the body as a consequence of toxoid administration neutralize the toxic moiety produced during infection rather than act upon the organism itself. In general toxoids are highly efficacious and safe immunizing agents.
Slide 15-

Polysaccharide and polypeptide (cellular fraction) vaccines They are prepared from extracted cellular fractions e.g. meningococcal vaccine from the polysaccharide antigen of the cell wall, the pneumococcal vaccine from the polysaccharide contained in the capsule of the organism, and hepatitis B polypeptide vaccine. Their efficacy and safety appear to be high.
Slide 16-

Surface antigen (recombinant) vaccines. It is prepared by cloning HBsAg gene in yeast cells where it is expressed. HBsAg produced is then used for vaccine preparations. Their efficacy and safety also appear to be high.
Slide 17-

Types of vaccines
Slide 18-

Routes of administration Deep subcutaneous or intramuscular route (most vaccines) Oral route (sabine vaccine, oral BCG vaccine) Intradermal route (BCG vaccine) Scarification (small pox vaccine) Intranasal route (live attenuated influenza vaccine)
Slide 19-

Scheme of immunization Primary vaccination One dose vaccines (BCG, variola, measles, mumps, rubella, yellow fever) Multiple dose vaccines (polio, DPT, hepatitis B) Booster vaccination To maintain immunity level after it declines after some time has elapsed (DT, MMR).
Slide 20-

Periods of maintained immunity due to vaccines Short period (months): cholera vaccine Two years: TAB vaccine Three to five years: DPT vaccine Five or more years: BCG vaccine Ten years: yellow fever vaccine Solid immunity: measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines.
Slide 21-

Levels of effectiveness Absolutely protective(100%): yellow fever vaccine Almost absolutely protective (99%): Variola, measles, mumps, rubella vaccines, and diphtheria and tetanus toxoids. Highly protective (80-95%): polio, BCG, Hepatitis B, and pertussis vaccines. Moderately protective (40-60%) TAB, cholera vaccine, and influenza killed vaccine.
Slide 22-

The Cold Chain The "cold chain" is a system of storage and transport of vaccines at low temperature from the manufacturer to the actual vaccination site. The cold chain system is necessary because vaccine failure may occur due to failure to store and transport under strict temperature controls.
Slide 23-

The Cold Chain Equipment
Slide 24-

(d) Cold boxes: Cold boxes are supplied to all peripheral centers. These are used mainly for transportation of the vaccines. (e) Vaccine carriers: Vaccine carriers are used to carry small quantities of vaccines (16-20 vials) for the out of reach sessions. 4 fully frozen ice packs are used for lining the sides, and vials of DPT, DT, TT and diluents should not be placed in direct contact with frozen ice packs. The carriers should be closed tightly. (f) Ice packs: The ice packs contain water and no salt should be added to it.
Slide 25-

Among the vaccines, polio is the most sensitive to heat, requiring storage at minus 20 degree C. Vaccines which must be stored in the freezer compartment are : polio and measles. Vaccines which must be stored in the COLD PART but never allowed to freeze are : typhoid, DPT, tetanus toxoid, DT, BCG and diluents
Slide 26-

HAZARDS OF IMMUNIZATION No immune response is entirely free from the risk of adverse reactions or remote squeal. The adverse reactions that may occur may be grouped under the following heads: Reactions inherent to inoculation Reactions due to faulty techniques Reactions due to hypersensitivity Neurological involvement Provocative reactions Others
Slide 27-

1. Reactions inherent to inoculation: These may be local general reactions. The local reactions may be pain, swelling, redness, tenderness and development of a small nodule or sterile abscess at the site of injection. The general reactions may be fever, malaise, headache and other constitutional symptoms. Most killed bacterial vaccines (e.g., typhoid) cause some local and general reactions. Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and live polio vaccine cause little reaction.
Slide 28-

2. Reactions due to faulty techniques: Faulty techniques may relate to faulty production of vaccine (e.g. inadequate inactivation of the microbe, inadequate detoxication), too much vaccine given in one dose, improper immunization site or route, vaccine reconstituted with incorrect diluents, wrong amount of diluent used, drug substituted for vaccine or diluent, vaccine prepared incorrectly for use (e.g., an adsorbed vaccine not shaken properly before use), vaccine or dliluent contaminated, vaccine stored incorrectly, contraindications ignored (e.g. a child who experienced a severe reaction after a previous dose of DPT vaccine is immunized with he same vaccine), reconstituted vaccine of one session of immunization used again at the subsequent session.
Slide 29-

Use of improperly sterilized syringes and needles carry the hazard of hepatitis B virus, and staphylo - and streptococcal infection
Slide 30-

3. Reactions due to hypersensitivity: Administration of antisera (e.g., ATS) may occasionally give rise to anaphylactic shock and serum sickness. Many viral vaccines contain traces of various antibiotics used in their preparation and some individuals may be sensitive to the antibiotic which it contains. Anaphylactic shock is a rare but dangerous complication of injection of antiserum. There is bronchospasm, dyspnoea, pallor, hypotension and collapse. The symptoms may appear within a few minutes of injection or may be delayed up to 2 hours. Some viral vaccines prepared from embryonated eggs (e.g., influenza) may bring about generalized anaphylactic reactions. Serum sickness is characterized by symptoms such as fever, rash, oedema and joint pains occurring 7 -12 days of injection of antiserum.
Slide 31-

4. Neurological involvement: Neuritic manifestations may be seen after the administration of serum or vaccine. The well-known examples are the postvaccinial encephalitis and encephalopathy following administration of anti -rabies and smallpox vaccines. GuillainBarre syndrome in association with the swine influenza vaccine is another example.
Slide 32-

5. Provocative reactions: Occasionally following immunization there may occur a disease totally unconnected with the immunizing agent (e.g., provocative polio after DPT or DT administration against diphtheria). The mechanism seems to be that the individual is harboring the infectious agent and the administration of the vaccine shortens the incubation period and produces the disease or what may have been otherwise only a latent infection is converted into a clinical attack.
Slide 33-

6. Others: These may comprise damage to the fetus (e.g., with rubella vaccination); displacement in the age-distribution of a disease (e.g., a potential problem in mass vaccination against measles, rubella and mumps).
Slide 34-

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN Before administration of the antiserum or antitoxin, it is necessary to test for sensitivity reaction. This can be done in 2 ways: (a) instilling a drop of the preparation into the conjunctival sac. A sensitized person will develop pricking of the conjunctiva. (b) a more reliable way of testing is by intradermal injection of 0.2 ml of antiserum diluted 1 : 10 with saline. A sensitized patient will develop a wheal and flare within 10 minutes at the site of injection. It should be borne in mind that these tests are not infallible.
Slide 35-

Adrenaline (1: 1000 solution) should be kept ready when giving foreign serum. In the event of anaphylaxis, for an adult, 0.5 ml of adrenaline solution should be injected intramuscularly immediately, followed by 0.5 ml every 20 minutes if the systolic blood pressure is below 100 mm of mercury. An injection of antihistaminic drug should also be given, e.g., 10-20 mg of chlorpheniramine maleate by the intramuscular route, to minimise the after-effects such as urticaria or oedema. The patient should be observed for 30 minutes after any serum injection.
Slide 36-

The risk of adverse reactions can be reduced by proper sterilization of syringes and needles, by proper selection of the subject and the product, and if due care is exercised in carrying out the procedure. Measles and BCG vaccines should be reconstituted only with the diluent supplied by the manufacturer. Reconstituted vaccine should be discarded at the end of each immunization session and NEVER retained for use in subsequent sessions. In the refrigerator of the immunization centre, no other drug and substances should be stored beside vaccines. Training of immunization worker and their close supervision to ensure that proper procedures are being followed are essential to prevent complications and deaths following immunization.
Slide 37-

Vaccination Coverage Vaccination coverage is the percent of at risk or susceptible individuals, or population who have been fully immunized against particular diseases by vaccines or toxoids. To be significantly effective in prevention of disease on mass or community level at least a satisfactory proportion (75% or more) of the at risk population must be immunized.
Slide 38-

Ways of achieving satisfactory immunization coverage Efficient immunization service; urban and rural Health awareness and cooperation of the public Periodic mass immunization campaigns, to cover those who missed regular immunizations Outreach programs in rural and nomad areas, and home visits
Slide 39-

Application of active immunization Infants and children expanded immunization program (schedule) Active immunization for adult females Vaccination for special occupations Vaccination for special life styles Vaccination for special environmental situations Vaccinations for special health status persons Vaccinations in travel Vaccines against bioterrorism
Slide 40-

Compulsory (obligatory) vaccination for infants, and booster vaccination for children (Expanded immunization program) See local schedule of vaccination Note (children failing to complete childhood vaccination schedule)
Slide 41-

Active immunization for adult females MMR vaccine is given in adolescence before or after marriage, but not during pregnancy and has to be before 3 months of conception Tetanus toxoid in pregnancy to prevent tetanus neonatorum in the newborn. In the first pregnancy on the third month and after 1 month. The third dose in the second pregnancy, and the fourth on the third pregnancy with a maximum of 5 doses. If 10 years elapse, and then pregnancy occurs, the doses are given from the start. Live attenuated vaccines should not be given during pregnancy.
Slide 42-

Vaccination for special occupations Health care workers: hepatitis B, influenza, MMR, polio Public safety personnel (police, fire fighters) and staff of institutions for the developmentally disabled: hepatitis B, influenza Vets and animal handlers: rabies, plague and anthrax Sewage workers: DT, hepatitis A, polio, TAB Food handlers: TAB Military troops and camp dwellers: pneumococcal, meningococcal, influenza, BCG (for non reactors), tetanus
Slide 43-

Vaccination for special life styles and special environmental situations Homosexually active males, Heterosexual with promiscus sexual partner specially who has STDs, and Injecting drug users Inmates of long term correctional institutes, residents of institutions for the developmentally disabled, and household contacts of HBV carriers or patients All should receive hepatitis B vaccine
Slide 44-

Vaccinations for special health status persons Immuno-compromised persons ( Leukemia, lymphoma, HIV, malignancy…) Hemodialysis and transplantation Should receive the following vaccines according to their situation: HBV, Influenza, Pneuomococcal vaccines
Slide 45-

Vaccinations in travel Varies according to the country of arrival and departure. Primary vaccine series Continuation of booster doses Specific vaccine according to the country traveled to: TAB, YF, cholera, meningiococcal, pneuomococcal, HIB, influenza, rabies, plague, Japanese encephalitis. Haj for instance necessates meningococcal vaccination from all over, and YF from places like south Africa, and cholera from places like India.
Slide 46-

Vaccines against bioterrorism Anthrax Small pox plague
Slide 47-

New approaches Schistosomiasis Cancer HIV/AIDS Malaria
Slide 48-

Vaccine surveillance and testing “monitoring vaccine effectiveness” Through: Randomized field trials Retrospective cohort studies Case-control studies Incidence density measures
Slide 49-

Randomized field trials The standard way to measure the effectiveness of a new vaccine introduced. In this type of trial, susceptible persons are randomized into two groups and are then given the vaccine or the placebo The vaccinated and the unvaccinated are followed through the high risk season of the year
Slide 50-

Randomized field trials (cont.) The attack rate (AR) is then determined in each group: AR = Number of persons ill Number of persons exposed to the disease next the vaccine effectiveness (VE) is calculated: VE = AR (unvaccinated) - AR (vaccinated) AR (unvaccinated) X 100
Slide 51-

Retrospective cohort studies The antigenic variability of influenza virus necessitates frequent (often yearly) changes in the constituents of the vaccine to keep them up date with the new strains. Retrospective cohort studies are thus done to evaluate the protective efficacy of the vaccines.
Slide 52-

Case-control studies Done because randomized control trials are very costly. VE = 1- AR (vaccinated) AR (unvaccinated) = (1- RR) or (1- OR)
Slide 53-

Incidence density measures They are used to determine the the optimal timing for administration of a new vaccine and the duration of the immunity produced. It has the following formula: ID = Number of new cases of a disease Person-time of exposure (days, weeks, months, years..)
