Principles of Vaccination
Kolářová Marie, EPI
Autumn 2016
Revised 2007
The word “vaccine” comes from the Latin word
vaccinus, which means “pertaining to cows.”
What do cows have to do with vaccines? The
first vaccine was based on the relatively mild
cowpox virus, which infected cows as well as
people. This vaccine protected people
against the related, but much more
dangerous, smallpox virus.
More than 200 years ago (in 1789), Edward Jenner, a
country physician practicing in England, noticed that
milkmaids rarely suffered from smallpox.
The milkmaids often did get cowpox, a related but far
less serious disease, and those who did never
became ill with smallpox.
In an experiment that laid the foundation for modern
vaccines, Jenner took a few drops of fluid from a skin
sore of a woman who had cowpox and injected the
fluid into the arm of a healthy young boy who had
never had cowpox or smallpox.
Six weeks later, Jenner injected the boy with fluid from a
smallpox sore, but the boy remained free of smallpox.
Dr. Edward Jenner
Dr. Jenner had discovered one of the fundamental
principles of immunization.
He had used a relatively harmless foreign substance to
evoke an immune response that protected someone
from an infectious disease.
His discovery would ease the suffering of people
around the world and eventually lead to the
elimination of smallpox, a disease that killed a million
people, mostly children, each year in Europe.
By the beginning of the 20th century, vaccines were in
use for diseases that had nothing to do with cows—
rabies, diphtheria, typhoid fever, and plague—but the
name stuck.

Variola virus, which causes smallpox, was once the scourge of the world.
This virus passes from person to person through the air.
A smallpox infection results in fever, severe aches and pains, scarring
sores that cover the body, blindness in many cases, and, often, death.
There is no effective treatment.
Although vaccination and outbreak control eliminated smallpox in the
United States by 1949, the disease still struck an estimated 50 million
people worldwide each year during the 1950s.
In 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a massive
vaccination campaign to rid the world of smallpox —and succeeded.
The last natural case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977.

two sick children to camp insulation.

by a virus that escaped from a neighboring lab.

Eradication of smallpox
Czech experts
A key figure in the global eradication program
smallpox was prof. MUDr. Karel Raska, MD.,
who drove in the sixties division
Communicative Diseases of the WHO
Secretariat in Geneva.
He promoted the establishment of a new, independent units
"Eradication of smallpox"and ensure its initial financial and
material support, not only in Geneva,
but also in regional offices of WHO.
With its support of the program also attended the 20
Czechoslovak health professionals (14 Czechs and Slovaks 6),
mainly epidemiologists.
They participated in both the preparation methodology and
procedures, thus working directly in infested areas.
Smallpox eradication was
officially announced
at the 33rd General Assembly WHO
8. May 1980.

Milestones in the eradication of smallpox
1789 Edward Jenner invents a smallpox vaccine.
1966 The World Health Organization (WHO) launches a massive global
campaign to eradicate smallpox.
1972 Smallpox vaccinations are discontinued in the United States.
1975 and 1977 The last cases of the two known variants of smallpox occur in
the world, in Bangladesh and Somalia.
1978 Two people are sickened in a lab accident in England; one dies.
1980 The WHO declares smallpox eradicated.

2011 WHO's decision-making body will meet in May to again vote on whether to kill
the remaining live viruses.
Remembering an Old Disease
Diphtheria:
PHIL Photo ID#7323
Causes and Transmission
Diphtheria is an infection caused by the toxic Corynebacterium diphtheriae
bacterium.
Diphtheria is spread (transmitted)
from person to person,
usually through respiratory droplets, like from coughing
or sneezing.
Rarely, people can get sick from touching open sores
(skin lesions) or clothes that touched open sores of
someone sick with diphtheria.
A person also can get diphtheria by coming in contact
with an object, like a toy, that has the bacteria that
cause diphtheria on it.
Symptoms
When the bacteria get into and attach to the lining of the respiratory system, they
produce a poison (toxin) that can cause:
 Weakness
 Sore throat
 Fever
 Swollen glands in the neck (sometimes referred to as „bull neck“)
The poison destroys healthy tissues in the respiratory system. PHIL Photo ID#5325
Within two to three days, the dead tissue forms a thick, gray coating that can build up
in the throat or nose. This thick gray coating is called a "pseudomembrane."
It can cover tissues in the nose, tonsils, voice box, and throat, making it very hard to
breathe and swallow.
The poison may also get into the blood stream and cause damage to the heart,
kidneys, and nerves.
Diphtheria once was a major cause of illness and death among children.
This upper airway infection often results in a grayish, thick membrane that
grows in the throat and obstructs breathing. Other symptoms include
fever, hoarseness, and coughing.
Most diphtheria deaths resulted not from blocked airways but from the
paralyzing toxin the bacterium secretes, which can cause the heart or
other organs to fail.
For clinical purposes, it is convenient to classify diphtheria into a number of
manifestations, depending on the site of disease:
 Respiratory diphtheria
 Nasal diphtheria
 Pharyngeal and tonsillar diphtheria
 Laryngeal diphtheria
 Cutaneous diphtheria
The incubation period of diphtheria is 2–5 days (range: 1–10 days).
After:
 the provisional clinical diagnosis is made
 and appropriate cultures are obtained,
persons with suspected diphtheria should be given:
1. - antitoxin and
2. - antibiotics in adequate dosage and
3. - placed in isolation.
Respiratory support and airway maintenance should
also be administered as needed.
In 2014, 7,321 cases of diphtheria were reported worldwide to the World
Health Organization, but many more cases likely go unreported.
The case-fatality rate for diphtheria
has changed very little during the last 50 years.
The overall case-fatality rate for diphtheria is 5%–10%,
with higher death rates (up to 20%) among persons younger than 5
and older than 40 years of age.
Before there was treatment for diphtheria, the disease was fatal in up to half
of cases.
In the EU/EEA.
The reported number of cases of diphtheria remains low.
During 2009–2013, 102 cases of diphtheria were reported in the EU/EEA with 55
cases of C. diphtheriae. There has been an increase in the number of C.
diphtheriae cases reported at EU level since 2011.
Latvia is the only EU Member State that reports indigenous transmission.
In a recent European study, ten European countries each screened between 968
and 8551 throat swabs from patients with upper respiratory tract infections for C.
diphtheriae during 2007–2008.
Six toxigenic strains of C. diphtheriae were identified: two from symptomatic
patients in Latvia and four from Lithuania (two cases, two carriers).
Among the toxigenic isolates, the Sankt Petersburg epidemic clone that caused
large diphtheria outbreaks in Russia and the NIS* countries in the 1990s was still
in circulation .
Carriage rates among household contacts of a laboratory-confirmed case may
be as high as 25% .
9.11.2016
A case of diphtheria in Spain
15 June 2015
The detection, management and public health response to the first case of
diphtheria in Spain in nearly 30 years has highlighted challenges for
preparedness against diphtheria in the European Union.
The case is a 6-year-old unvaccinated child. A case of diphtheria in an
unvaccinated individual within a highly protected population is not unexpected,
because vaccinated people can be asymptomatic carriers of toxigenic C.
diphtheriae.
The challenges for diphtheria case management, preparedness and public
health response experienced in Spain are shared by many EU Member States.
The most urgent critical issue is the shortage of diphtheria antitoxin (DAT) for
immediate use when clinicians suspect diphtheria.
DAT must be given as early as possible to be effective, often on the suspicion
of diphtheria before a laboratory confirmation.
EU Member States have for a number of years reported difficulties with
sourcing and maintaining adequate stockpiles of DAT for emergency use, a
problem they share with many countries around the world. EU Member States
have on occasion been forced to arrange emergency deliveries of DAT for
patients with diphtheria.

Úmrtí na záškrt v Belgii
24. březen 2016 | MUDr. Jana Košťálová
17. března 2016 zemřelo v Belgii, v Antverpách, na záškrt neočkované 3leté dítě
čečenského původu, narozené v Belgii (dívka). Dítě nikde necestovalo, rodiče zřejmě
ano.
První příznaky onemocnění se objevily 6. března, na jednotce intenzivní péče byla dívka
hospitalizována 11. března 2016, později se zdravotní stav dítěte zhoršoval.
Diagnóza záškrtu byla potvrzena 15. března Národním referenčním centrem v Belgii a
konfirmována WHO spolupracujícím centrem pro difterii ve Velké Británii.
Protože Belgie nemá difterický antitoxin, nabídlo ECDC zprostředkovat jeho zajištění.
Národní institut pro veřejné zdraví a životní prostředí (RIVM) Nizozemska dodal antitoxin
16. března 2016.
Přes veškerou snahu a podání antitoxinu dítě zemřelo 17. března, příčina úmrtí - srdeční
selhání (fatální myokarditida) v souvislosti s progresivním průběhem onemocnění.
Zdravotnické orgány Vlámského regionu nyní posuzují další případná rizika např.:
vyšetření kontaktů (rodina, zdravotníci, ošetřující personál, zaměstnanci děti ze školky),
preventivní profylaxe antibiotiky, očkování, aby se zavedla případná dodatečná opatření
pro prevenci a kontrolu.
Remembering an Old Disease
Tetanus:
Tetanus disease
Tetanus is a potentially fatal disease characterized by skeletal muscle
rigidity and painful convulsive spasms, which are caused by a potent
neurotoxin, tetanospasmin, produced by the vegetative form of Clostridium
tetani, an anaerobic spore-forming Gram-positive bacillus. C. tetani is a
member of the normal intestinal flora of animals, including humans.
Tetanus usually occurs following contamination of wounds by soil or animal
feces in which the spores of C. tetani can be found.

A newly published article demonstrates that the extracellular matrix
proteins called nidogens (or entactins) appear to be the receptor for the
tetanus neurotoxin to enter the neuromuscular junction (Bercsenyi K,
Schmieg N, Bryson JB, et al: Tetanus toxin entry. Nidogens are therapeutic
targets for the prevention of tetanus. Science.
Tetanus disease
Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) is among the most poisonous
substances on Earth and a major cause of neonatal death in
nonvaccinated areas.
TeNT targets the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) with high
affinity, yet the nature of the TeNT receptor complex remains
unknown.
The presence of nidogens (also known as entactins) at the NMJ
is the main determinant for TeNT binding.
Inhibition of the TeNT-nidogen interaction by using small
nidogen-derived peptides or genetic ablation of nidogens
prevented the binding of TeNT to neurons and protected mice
from TeNT-induced spastic paralysis.
Tetanus disease
Tetanus may follow surgical procedures, burns, deep puncture wounds, crush wounds, otitis
media, dental infection, animal bites, abortion, and pregnancy. The presence of necrotic tissue
and/or foreign bodies increases risk for tetanus because they favor growth of _C. tetani_.
Tetanus can also follow injection of contaminated illicit drugs.
Neonatal tetanus occurs usually in developing countries in infants with infection of the umbilical
stump who are born to a non-immune mother. Infants of actively immunized mothers acquire
passive immunity that protects them from neonatal tetanus. Tetanus is not directly transmitted
from person to person.
Tetanus occurs in people who are inadequately immunized, i.e., people who have not
completed the primary series and received appropriate boosters. Recovery from tetanus is not
necessarily associated with immunity, and primary immunization is indicated after recovery
from tetanus.
TETANUS DISEASE
 The incubation period for symptoms of tetanus to
begin can range from one to three weeks. The first
symptoms are likely to be headache, irritability,
fever, chills, and muscular stiffness of the jaw and
neck. As the poison increases and spreads, the
body becomes rigid and locked in spasm with head
drawn back, legs and feet extended, arms stiff,
hands clenched and the jaw unable to open with
difficulty in swallowing. The stomach muscles also
become rigid and convulsions may occur.
TETANUS DISEASE
 In 1948 there were 601 cases of tetanus
reported in the U.S., the highest number of
cases reported in one year. In 2002 there
were 25 cases of tetanus and 3 deaths
reported in the U.S. Tetanus is a much more
serious problem in underdeveloped
countries, especially among newborn babies
born in unsanitary conditions whose umbilical
cords can become infected with tetanus.
Tetanus—United States, 1947-2008
Tetanus disease
The vaccine-preventable disease, tetanus, has been
considered eradicated among children in the Central
European country of Slovenia for the past 20 years;
health officials report a case in an unvaccinated child as
reported in local media Fri, 14 Oct 2016.

TETANUS DISEASE
 TETANUS VACCINE: The most common reactions
reported to occur following DT vaccine include
swelling and pain at the injection site; sleepiness;
irritability; vomiting; loss of appetite; persistent
crying; and fever.
 Paleness, cold skin, collapse, rash, and joint pain
have also been reported.
 In 1994 the Institute of Medicine concluded that
there is compelling scientific evidence to conclude
that tetanus, DT and Td vaccines can cause
Guillain-Barre syndrome including death; brachial
neuritis; and death from anaphylaxis (shock).
Remembering an Old Disease
Poliomyelitis:
The highly infectious poliovirus, the cause of polio,
once crippled 13,000 to 20,000 people every year in
the United States. In 1 out of 200 cases, this virus
attacks the spinal cord, paralyzing limbs or leaving
victims unable to breathe on their own. In 1954, the
year before the first polio vaccine was introduced,
doctors reported more than 18,000 cases of
paralyzing polio in the United States. Just 3 years
later, vaccination brought that figure down to about
2,500. Today, the disease has been eliminated from
the Western Hemisphere, and public health officials
hope to soon eradicate it from the globe. In 2001,
only 537 cases of polio were reported worldwide,
according to WHO.
Poliomyelitis
Morbid changes occur
mainly in the gray matter of the spinal cord.
The infectious agent:
There are three types of polioviruses
-1, 2 and 3.
Virus excretion: 1 week from the nasopharynx,
6 weeks of stool.
80% of cases are asymptomatic.
 Polio Viruses, which are endemic or epidemic areas
 spreading in a population,we are known as wild polioviruses.
 Among them were for the purpose of preparing
live vaccines repeated passaging the virus in cell cultures
resulting strain called vaccinal.
Polio eradication
In 1988, the forty-first World Health Assembly adopted a resolution for the worldwide eradication of
polio, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). Since then, the number of cases has fallen by over
99% from an estimated 350 000 to 416 reported cases in 2013.
In 2014, only three countries in the world remained polio-endemic: Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
In 2015 to date, two countries have together reported 37 cases: Pakistan (29 cases) and Afghanistan
(eight cases), all due to wild poliovirus type 1.
The last natural circulation of WPV2 was in India in 1999 and the last WPV3 case was detected in
Nigeria in November 2012.
 Since then, WPV1 has been the only circulating wild type virus.
The last case of endemic paralytic polio in the WHO European Region (i.e. with the source of the
infection originating in the Region) was reported in Turkey in November 1998,
and the Region was declared polio-free in June 2002.
The most recent outbreaks linked to importations into the WHO European Region occurred in 2010 in
Tajikistan and in 2013–2014 in Israel where WPV1 was circulating in the environment without causing
clinical cases .
The most recent polio outbreaks in what today constitutes EU/EEA were in the Netherlands in 1992, in
a religious community opposed to vaccination,
and in 2001, when three polio cases were reported among Roma children in Bulgaria .
On 5 May 2014, WHO declared the international spread of wild poliovirus in 2014 a Public Health
Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) following the confirmed circulation of wild poliovirus in
several countries and the documented exportation of wild poliovirus to other countries.
The Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013–2018 sets out the actions required for a poliofree
world by 2018 and beyond.
Outbreak of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 1
(cVDPV1) in Ukraine
2 September 2015
Two cases of paralytic poliomyelitis caused by circulating vaccinederived
poliovirus type 1 (cVDPV1) were confirmed in Ukraine on 28
August 2015.
The cases, a 4-year-old child and a 10-month-old infant, had onset
of paralysis on 30 June and 7 July respectively and the positive stool
samples were collected from 5–10 July 2015.
The genetic similarity between the isolates indicates active
transmission of cVDPV1.
Both children are from the Zakarpatskaya oblast [region], in southwestern
Ukraine, bordering Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and
Poland.
Ukraine has been at high risk of vaccine-preventable diseases
outbreaks for several years due to persistent low routine vaccination
coverage.
Pertussis
Pertussis is an acute bacterial infection of the respiratory tract, caused by the
bacterium Bordetella pertussis. The disease is characterised by a severe cough,
which can last two months or even longer.
Humans are the only reservoir. Infected adults usually have only mild symptoms,
but can shed bacteria for weeks. Following infection (by inhalation of droplets),
susceptible individuals develop symptoms after an incubation period of about 10
days. The typical paroxysmal cough is usually seen in young children. Babies
less than six months old may not cough, but they manifest dyspnea and
paroxysmal asphyxia and are the most likely to die of the disease unless they
receive suitable treatment.
Affected children are also exposed to complications such as pneumonia,
atelectasia, weight loss, hernia, seizures, encephalopathy (probably due to
hypoxia). Antibiotics may reduce the duration of the disease, especially if
administered in its early stages.

This graph shows reported pertussis incidence (per 100,000 persons) by age group in the
United States from 1990–2014. Infants aged <1 year, who are at greatest risk for serious
disease and death, continue to have the highest reported rate of pertussis. School-aged
children 7 to 10 years continue to contribute a significant proportion of reported pertussis
cases.
This graph illustrates the number of pertussis cases reported to CDC from 1922 to 2014.
Following the introduction of pertussis vaccines in the 1940s when case counts frequently
exceeded 100,000 cases per year, reports declined dramatically to fewer than 10,000 by 1965.
During the 1980s pertussis reports began increasing gradually, and by 2014 more than 32,000
cases were reported nationwide.

Measles
During the 12-month period from July 2014 to June 2015, a total of 4 224 cases was reported by
30 EU/EEA countries. Twenty-three countries reported consistently throughout this period.
 • Germany accounted for 58.2% of the cases reported during this period.
In 10 of the countries reporting consistently, the measles notification rate was less than one case
per million population, including six countries which reported zero cases during the 12-month
period.
The diagnosis of measles was confirmed by positive laboratory results (serology, virus detection
or isolation) in 63.4% of all cases.
Of all cases, 89.2% had a known vaccination status and of these, 83.8% were unvaccinated.
In the target group for routine childhood MMR vaccination (1–4-year-old children), 76.9% of the
cases were unvaccinated.
One measles-related death was reported during the period July 2014–June 2015, and eight
cases were complicated by acute measles encephalitis.
Since the previous report, outbreaks of measles have been detected in several countries in the
WHO European Region: Austria, Belarus, Lithuania, Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom,
France, Sweden and Belgium.
Outside of Europe, measles outbreaks are reported from the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Guinea, Sudan, South Sudan, Brazil, Australia, Mali, Algeria, Chile, Peru, Cameroon, Taiwan,
Iraq and Malaysia.

Rubella
• Twenty-eight EU/EEA countries reported a total of 2 808 rubella
cases during the period July 2014 to June 2015.
• In 18 of the countries reporting consistently, the rubella
notification rate was less than one case per million population,
including 11 countries reporting zero cases during the 12-month
period.
• Poland accounted for 93.9% of all reported rubella cases in the
12-month period.
The highest number of cases was observed in 5–9- and 1–4-yearolds.
28.5% of the cases were unvaccinated.
However, this figure needs to be interpreted with caution as only 37
cases were confirmed through laboratory testing.
• No outbreaks of rubella have been detected by epidemic
intelligence since the last report.
MUMPS
Mumps is an acute illness caused by the mumps virus. It is characterised by fever
and swelling of one or more salivary glands (mumps is the only cause of epidemic
infectious parotitis).
Humans are the only reservoirs of the virus, which is transmitted from person to
person via droplets and/or saliva. Following infection, the incubation period lasts on
average 16–18 days. Salivary glands apart, other organs may be involved and
symptoms might include infection in the testicles (in post-pubertal males), prostate
gland, thyroid gland, and pancreas. Brain involvement is frequent, but mostly
without symptoms. Brain infection is believed to occur in only one in 10 000 cases,
but it often leads to death.
Mumps is preventable by a vaccine, which is most often administered in association
with anti-rubella and anti-measles vaccines (MMR).
MUMPS - NORWAY: INCREASED INCIDENCE
Date: Fri 6 Nov 2015
Around 80 cases of the mumps (called kusma in Norwegian) have been recorded in Norway
recently, mostly among college students. The outbreak began in Trondheim, but residents of
Oslo, Bergen and elsewhere along the west coast have also fallen ill.
Doctors in Trondheim alerted state officials at the Institute for Public Health (Folkehelseinstituttet)
late last week. By then, cases were spreading beyond Trondheim. All students suffering
symptoms that can be confused with flu were urged to undergo testing. Dr Karin Ronning of the
health institute said the outbreak is believed to have been brought in by foreign students.
"Since 1969, all children in Norway have been offered vaccination against
measles via the Childhood Immunisation Programme. The measles vaccine is
given in the form of 2 doses of MMR vaccine at 15 months and at 11 years
(Grade 6). If there is an increased risk of infection, the vaccine may be given as
early as 9 months, but a booster dose at
 15 months of age is recommended.„
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib).
Other familiar diseases that vaccines protect against
include chickenpox, hepatitis A and B, and
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Hib causes
meningitis, an inflammation of the fluid-filled
membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.
Meningitis can be fatal, or it can cause severe
disabilities such as deafness or mental retardation.
This disease has nearly disappeared among babies
and children in the United States since the Hib
vaccine became widely used in 1989.
Invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease
Invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease has become rare; the notification rate in Europe was
0.49 per
100 000 population, with a slightly ascending trend which may be attributed to improved
surveillance in most countries.
Country-specific rates were highest in northern Europe and in the United Kingdom;
age-specific rates were highest in children under one year and adults aged 65 years or over.
The national immunisation schedules of all EU/EEA countries include the Hib vaccine, which
has led to a
 progressive reduction of type b serotype infections.
Even though there appears to be a trend towards an increase in disease due to noncapsulated
(nontypeable) strains, European data is too scarce to draw conclusions on serotype
replacement.
Continued monitoring of strains, together with their associated clinical syndromes, is essential
for assessing the effect of interventions.
In 2012, 2 545 confirmed cases of invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease (all serotypes)
were reported by 27 countries, 24 of which have surveillance systems with national coverage.
Belgium, France and Spain reported data from sentinel surveillance and therefore had to be
excluded from the notification rates analysis, while no confirmed cases were reported from
Malta for 2012.

vyzvala k dalšímu boji proti tuberkulóze (TBC), která stále patří k
hlavním příčinám úmrtí ve světě a na kterou denně umírá 4400 lidí.
Toto číslo je podle autorů zprávy WHO o to „nepřijatelnější” a
smutnější, že v současnosti již lze diagnostikovat a vyléčit téměř
všechny nemocné TBC.
Dosavadní úsilí proti TBC umožnilo, aby se úmrtnost na toto
onemocnění ve světě od roku 1990 snížila o polovinu. Situace se
zlepšila hlavně po roce 2000. Nové diagnostické a léčebné metody
umožnily zachránit na 43 miliónů životů. Podle WHO je však třeba
pokračovat a zesílit boj proti TBC, který nyní brzdí hlavně nedostatek
peněz.
Loni se objevilo 9,6 miliónu nových případů onemocnění. Více než
polovina současných případů TBC připadá na Čínu, Indii, Indonésii,
Nigérii a Pákistán, upřesnila WHO.
Počty onemocnění v ČR trvale klesají, loni bylo hlášeno 512 případů.
Česko tak patří se 4,8 případu na 100 000 obyvatel k zemím s
nejnižším výskytem TBC na světě.

Immunity
 Self vs. nonself
 Protection from infectious disease
 Usually indicated by the presence of antibody
 Very specific to a single organism
Immunity
Principles of Vaccination
 Protection produced by the person's own immune
system
 Usually permanent
 Protection transferred from another person or animal
 Temporary protection that wanes with time
Active Immunity
Passive Immunisation
 Transfer of antibody produced by one human
or other animal to another
 Temporary protection
 Transplacental most important source in
infancy
Sources of Passive Immunity
 Almost all blood or blood products
 Homologous pooled human antibody
(immune globulin)
 Homologous human hyperimmune globulin
 Heterologous hyperimmune serum (antitoxin)
Monoclonal Antibody
 Derived from a single type, or clone, of antibodyproducing
cells (B cells)
 Antibody is specific to a single antigen or closely
related group of antigens
 Used for diagnosis and therapy of certain cancers
and autoimmune and infectious diseases
Active Immunisation
 A live or inactivated substance (e.g., protein,
polysaccharide) capable of producing an immune
response
 Protein molecules (immunoglobulin) produced by
B lymphocytes to help eliminate an antigen
Contraindications
 Generaly
 Acute illnes
 Reaction after last vaccination
 Anaphylactic reactions
 Recovery time
 Incubation period of some infectious diseases
 Pregnancy
 Immunosupression – therapy
 Hemoblastosis and other oncologic disease
Contraindications
 Specific
 Depends on the types of vaccine (exampl.- alergic
reaction on the some substances
Apliccation
 Under aseptic conditions !
 i.m.
 s.c.
 intradermal (epidermis)
 p.o.
 scarification
 …..
After aplication - 30 min - under oversight !
Reaction after apliccation
 Fysiolocal reaction
 Local
– erythema, swelling, soreness …
 Generally
- higher temperature, fever, tiredness, hedeache,
- pain of the muscles, joints,
- Indigestion
 Alergic reaction
Vaccination
 Active immunity produced by vaccine
 Immunity and immunologic memory similar to
natural infection but without risk of disease
Live Attenuated Vaccines
 Attenuated (weakened) form of the "wild"
virus or bacterium
 Must replicate to be effective
 Immune response similar to natural infection
 Usually effective with one dose*
*except those administered orally
Live Attenuated Vaccines
 Severe reactions possible
 Interference from circulating antibody
 Fragile – must be stored and handled
carefully
Live Attenuated Vaccines
 Viral measles, mumps,
rubella, vaccinia,
varicella, yellow fever,
intranasal influenza,
(oral polio)
(rotavirus)
 Bacterial BCG, oral typhoid
Vaccines in (parenthesis) are not available in the United States.
Inactivated Vaccines
 Cannot replicate
 Less interference from circulating antibody than
live vaccines
 Generally require 3-5 doses
 Immune response mostly humoral
 Antibody titer diminishes with time
Inactivated Vaccines
 Viral polio, hepatitis A,
rabies (influenza)
 Bacterial (pertussis) (typhoid)
(cholera) (plague)
Whole-cell vaccines
Inactivated Vaccines
 Subunit hepatitis B, influenza,
acellular pertussis,
(Lyme) (HPV)
 Toxoid diphtheria, tetanus
Fractional vaccines
Polysaccharide Vaccines
 pneumococcal
 meningococcal
 Salmonella Typhi (Vi)
 Haemophilus influenzae type b
 pneumococcal
 meningococcal
Pure polysaccharide
Pure Polysaccharide Vaccines
 Not consistently immunogenic in children <2
years of age
 No booster response
 Antibody with less functional activity
 Immunogenicity improved by conjugation
Immunisation in Czech Republic
