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
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.
Active immunity
Naturally acquired
• Repeated clinical &
subclinical infection
in childhood give
immunity.
• Eg:chicken pox
Artificially acquired
• Immunity induced
by vaccination
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)
Immunizing agents
• vaccines
• immunuglobulins
• antisera
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”.
Types of vaccines
• Attenuated live vaccines
• Inactivated killed vaccines
• Toxoids
• Polysaccharide and polypeptide (cellular fraction) vaccines
• Surface antigen (recombinant) vaccines.
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
Killed Vaccines
Advantages• No danger of spread• Stability and safety
Disadvantages• Multiple injection may be required• May be contaminated with• dangerous infectious agent
LiveAttenuated vaccines
KilledInactivated vaccines
Toxoids Cellular fraction vaccines
Recombinant vaccines
•BCG•Typhoid oral•Plague•Oral polio•Yellow fever•Measles•Mumps•Rubella•IntranasalInfluenza•Typhus
•Typhoid•Cholera•Pertussis•Plague•Rabies•Salk polio•Intra-muscular influenza•Japanise encephalitis
•Diphtheria•Tetanus
•Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine•Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine•Hepatitis B polypeptide vaccine
•Hepatitis B vaccine
Route
Intradermal BCG
Subcutaneous Measles, MMR, Meningococcal, Varicella
Intramuscular DTwP / DTaP, Hib, Hep A, Hep B, DTwP-Hep B-Hib, DTwP-Hep B, DTwP-Hib, Hep A-Hep B
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
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.
VACCINE COLD CHAIN
Vaccine vial monitor
• 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
Vaccine Failure
• Primary = administration of recommended dose of vaccine
doesnot result in adequate protection against disease.
• Secondary = disease occur inspite of immunsiation.
INDIVIDUAL VACCINES

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
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.
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
HEPATITIS B VACCINE
• Recombinant DNA vaccine (in yeast)
• 0.5 mL IM in <1 year and 1 mL > 1 year

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.
