Immunization

ATHAR SHIBLIZAINAB HASHEMALIAA HASSAN

Immunization:

• Immunization is the process of inducing immunity artificially by either vaccination (active imm.)or administration of antibodies (passive imm.)

2

Active immunization

• Active immunization entails the introduction of a foreign molecule into the body, which causes the body itself to generate immunity against the target. This immunity comes from the T cells and the B cells with their antibodies

3

Passive immunization This method of immunization begins to work very

quickly, but it is short lasting, because the antibodies are naturally broken down, and if there are no B cells to produce more antibodies, they will disappear.

The antibodies can be produced in animals ("serum therapy") although there is a high chance of anaphylactic shock because of immunity against animal serum itself. Thus, humanized antibodies produced in vitro by cell culture are used instead if available. this basically means 87 different are being affected

4

important of immunization

• eradication of disease EX: smallpox• Elimination of disease EX: polio• Control of disease EX: diphtheria

5

Immunizing agent: • Vaccine :a protein, polysaccharide or nucleic

acid delivered to body to produce immunity• Toxoid :a modified bacterial toxin (not toxic

but capable of producing antitoxin)• Antitoxin: antibodies derived from human or animal

serum after stimulation with specific antigen

6

Constituents of vaccine :

• Protein , polysaccharide ,nucleic acid• Preservative/stabilizer/antibiotics• Adjuvant (salts)• Suspending fluid • Component of organism: like influenza vaccine

7

Types of vaccines:

• Live attenuated:• Prepared from attenuated strains that render

them non-pathogenic .• Usually effective with one dose as they

replicate in the host and provide antigenic stimulation for long time.

8

Types of vaccines:

• Reversion to original pathogenic form causing full-blown is rare but possible especially in immunocompromised individuals,so we prefer to avoid live vaccine in most immunocompromised patients.

• EX: BCG, MMR, OPV, Varicella, Measles.

9

• Inactivated or killed : 1. Inactivated whole organism : Hepatitis A, whole cell pertusses 2. Detoxified exotoxins : Tetanus , Diphtheria

3. Purified protein antigen: Acelluar pertusses , Hepatitis B

4. Polysaccharide : Capsular Meningococcal

5. Capsular polysaccharide conjugated to protien: Hib, Pnemoccocal conjugated vaccine

6. Component of organism: Influenza vaccine

Generally require3-5 doses to be effective

10

Immune response to vaccine:

• In live attenuated vaccines ,the organisms multiply in recipient so it is more like the natural infection ,so it is likely to produce life long protection after 1st dose of vaccine.

• Killed vaccines :less antigenic so usually need booster doses.

11

• Nature and magnitude of immune response depend on many factors:

1. Age at administration 2. Presence of maternal antibodies younger than 6

months 3. Relative immaturity of immune system 4. Host factors: nutrition, immunity 5. Route of administration: IPV ,OPV Subcutaneous hepatitis B at buttock less

immunogenic than IM at deltoid

12

• T cell independent antigens are those that produce B cells proliferation and antibody production without help of T cells

• T cell independent antigens are poor immunogenic in younger than 2 years

• So conjugation with protein carrier will induce more immunity like Hib ,Conjugated pneumoccocal vaccine.

• Primary response to a vaccine : IGM serum antibody is usually detected 7-10

days then IGG type peaks at 2-6 weeks.

13

Vaccine schedules:• Generally a vaccine is recommended at the

youngest age at which significant risk of a disease and complication exist and at which protective immune response is expected.

• Either universal schedules or for selected

populations e.g. : specific diseases (nephrotic syndrome…) travel (yellow fever vaccine…) post exposure (rabies…)

14

The Jordanian National Immunization Program Age Recommended Vaccines First Month BCG 61 Days DPT-HBV-Hib IPV 91 Days DPT-HBV-Hib IPV OPV 121 Days DPT-HBV-Hib OPV 9 Months Measles OPV 18 Months DPT OPV MMR 6 Years (First Grade) Td OPV 15 Years (10th Grade) Td

15

Special conditions:

• Most vaccines can be given simultaneously without impairment of vaccines effectiveness or safety

• Breast feeding is not a contraindication to any vaccine ,although most live attenuated vaccines replicate in mother they are not excreted in human milk.

16

Special conditions:

• Lapsed immunizations: If interval between vaccine doses exceed

those recommended ,this does not adversely affect the immune response provided the series is completed, so no need to restart the series or to give extra doses.

17

Preterm infants:• Immune response to vaccination is a function

of postnatal age rather than gestational age• Prematurity does not increase the incidence

of vaccine related adverse effects• Doses are same as those for term infants (NOT

reduced)• Should be vaccinated at same chronological

age as full term ,according to schedule .

18

Corticosteroids:• Physiologic or low doses (less than 2mg/kg/day)

of prednisone ,inhaled or topical steroids the child can be immunized while on steroid.

• More than 2mg/kg/day,or alternate-day steroid for less than 14 days ,should have live vaccine deferred until at least stoping steroid. If more than 14 days defer the vaccine for at least 1 month.

19

Immunodeficiency:

• Depends on degree of immunodeficiency and underlying cause.

• Generally ,live attenuated vaccines are contraindicated e.g. OPV

• Some other vaccines are indicated e.g. Influenza vaccine and Pneumoccocal vaccine

20

General notes:Contraindications: Severe allergic reactions after a vaccine dose or to

some vaccine component

Precautions: Moderate or severe acute illness with or with out fever

(benefits & risks of a vaccine is individualized)

Adverse effects: Usually Mild Problems : Redness, warmth, swelling ,Fever

BCG:

• There is evidence that BCG provides appreciable protection against tuberculosis meningitis (50-80%) and miliary disease.

• Intra-dermal injection

24

BCG:

• Local lesion, papule, 2 weeks after vaccination.

• Small abscess might develop, 4-6 weeks. • At 6 weeks (crust, detaches, ulcerates) ,then a

scar (typically round and slightly depressed) remains

25

BCG:• Complications:1. Local abscess2. “Not so serious” Lymphadenitis Non-suppurative ,Suppurative3. Serious Lymphadenitis : Persistent, recurrent or multiple4. BCG osteitis5. Disseminated BCGosis in immune compromised
