2. IMMUNIZATION
• Immunisation is the process by which
acquired immunity is induced.
Acquired Immunity
• Protection from disease
• Provided by introduction antigens or
premade antibodies into the body
3. Acquired Immunity
Active immunity
• In response to stimulus by an
antigen characterized by the
production of antibodies by the
host.
Passive immunity
• Immunity transferred in ready
made form.ie,no role of
immunesystem of the recipient.
4. Active immunity
Naturally acquired
• Repeated clinical &
subclinical infection
in childhood give
immunity.
• Eg:chicken pox
Artificially acquired
• Immunity induced
by vaccination
5. Passive immunity
Naturally acquired
• Transfer of maternal
antibodies
• Eg:
– Through placenta=Ig G
– Through colostrum=Ig A
Artificially acquired
• Following
administration of
Immune globulin or
antiserum
• Eg:Anti tetanus
serum(ATS)
7. VACCINATION
• A vaccine is an immuno-biological
substance(Ag) designed to produce specific
protection against a given disease.
• A vaccine is “antigenic” but not “pathogenic”.
8. Types of vaccines
• Attenuated live vaccines
• Inactivated killed vaccines
• Toxoids
• Polysaccharide and polypeptide (cellular fraction) vaccines
• Surface antigen (recombinant) vaccines.
9. Live Vaccines
Advantages
• Single dose enough
• Produce local immunity
• lnduce cell mediated immunity
• More convenient for mass immunization
Disadvantages
• Reversion to virulence
• Difficulty in storage
10. Killed Vaccines
Advantages
• No danger of spread
• Stability and safety
Disadvantages
• Multiple injection may be required
• May be contaminated with
• dangerous infectious agent
13. VACCINE ADVERSE REACTIONS
• Local
– Pain, swelling, redness at site of injection
– Common with inactivated vaccines
– Usually mild and self-limited
• Systemic
– Fever, malaise, headache
– Nonspecific
– May be unrelated to vaccine
• Allergic
– Due to vaccine or vaccine component
– Rare
14. VACCINE COLD CHAIN
• The system of transporting, storing and distributing vaccines in
a potent state at the recommended temperature from the
point of manufacture to the point of use is the Cold Chain.
• Vaccine potency once lost cannot be restored.
17. • Whole cell vaccine
–Contains suspension of whole bacterial cells
that have been killed. Eg: DTwP
–More effective but less safe
• Acellular vaccine
–Cell free vaccine prepared from purified
antigenic component of cell free
microorganism.
–ie,doesnot have complete cell but contains
fragments of cell best suited to stimulate
immune response. Eg: DTaP
–Less effective than DTwP but more safe
18. Vaccine Failure
• Primary = administration of recommended dose of vaccine
doesnot result in adequate protection against disease.
• Secondary = disease occur inspite of immunsiation.
20. BCG VACCINE
• Live attenuated vaccine (Bacille Calmettee – Guerin
strain)

fever

• Pulse polio immunization -- giving 2 doses 1month apart
• Complications: Vaccine associated paralytic polio--VAPP (due to
type 2)
22. Injectable Polio Vaccine
• Formaldehyde killed and purified poilio virus
– Type I-40
– Type II-8 D antigen units
– Type III-32
• Immunity – humoral, local pharyngeal,
intestinal
• Safe
• 6,10,14 weeks according to IAP
23. DTwP / DTaP vaccines
• DTaP has been licensed in India for private use
• Current recommendations for use of DTaP
– For infants who had severe reaction to 1st dose of DTwP
– For adolescents and adults
– For infant immunized abroad with DTaP
• DTaP adult formulation has now been recommended as booster by
WHO for adolescents and adults.
• Absolute contra indications for DTwP
– Anaphylaxis to previous dose
– Progressive neurological disorder
– Hypotensive hyporesponsive episodes
24. MEASLES VACCINE
• Live attenuated vaccine (Edmonston-Zagreb strain)
• Given IM or SC
• Given at 9 months (because at that time maternal antibody
wean off)
• Contraindications
– Malignancy
– Therapy with alkylating agent/ corticosteroid
– Immune deficiency
• Side effect -- TSS (toxic shock syndrome) due to bacterial
contamination.
25. MMR vaccine
• Measles---Edmonston-Zagreb strain
• Mumps-Jeryl Lynn strain
• Rubell--RA 27/3 strain
• Dose is 0.5 ml (2 dose one at 15 month and another 8 weeks later)
(S / C).
• Contraindication--pregnancy,immunosuppression
26. HEPATITIS B VACCINE
• Recombinant DNA vaccine (in yeast)
• 0.5 mL IM in <1 year and 1 mL > 1 year
• 3 doses at 0, 1, 6 months
• HBIG gives passive immunity
• HBIG should be given preferably within 48 hours of exposure.

37. Do’s and Don'ts After Vaccine Administration
• Do not rub the site vigorously.
• Gentle pressure at the site for a few seconds will
suffice.
• If blood oozes do not blot. Just apply gentle pressure
with cotton swab.
• No Heat, Ice or Cold Water fomentation is advocated.
• The wet cloth soaked in ordinary portable water can
be applied at the site of swelling or tenderness for
about 5 – 10 minutes.
• Repeat the procedure, if necessary, 3-4 times a day.
