Immunization

Denotes the process of inducing or
providing immunity artificially by
administering an immunologic
substances


Active
Passive
Active Immunization

When it produces the desired beneficial
effects by stimulation of endogenous
antibody production by the patient



Tetanous toxoid
MMR
BCG
Passive Immunization

Administration of preformed human or
animal antibodies to individuals already
exposed or about to be exposed to
certain infectious agents


Tetanus antitoxins
Immune globulins
Vaccination

Denotes the physical act of
administrating any vaccine or toxoids
Immunobiologic Substances


Vaccine - a suspension of live or inactivated
microorganism or fractions thereof
administered to induce immunity and prevent
infectious disease or its sequela
Toxoid – modified bacterial toxin that has
been made nontoxic but retains the ability to
stimulate the formation of antitoxins

Antitoxins – a solution of antibodies
derived from the serum of animals
immunized with specific antigens

Passive immunization


Diphtheria antitoxin
Tetanus antitoxin

Immune globulin (IG) - a sterile
solution containing antibodies from
human blood. Intended for IM use

for passive immunization


Measles immune globulin
hepatitis b immune globulin

IV IG – a product derived from blood
plasma from the donor pools similar to
the IG pool but prepared for IV used

Used in primary antibody-deficiency
disorders
-
Kawasaki disease
ITP
Hypogammaglobulinemia
Immunologic Constituents


Suspending fluids – sterile water, saline
Preservatives, Stabilizers, Antibiotics


used to inhibit or prevent bacterial growth
Stabilize the antigens or antibodies


Where to inject?
General rules:
 For children < 1 year old – lateral thigh
 For children > 1 year old - deltoid
 Buttocks should not be used for active
vaccinations because of the potential
risk of injury to the sciatic nerve
 If the buttocks are to used – use only
the upper outer quadrant
Fever:
To give or not to give?


Minor febrile illness or malnutrition is
not a contraindication to immunization
Immunization is deferred in the
presence of severe febrile illness
Vomiting:
What to Do?

Regurgitated oral vaccine


If the child vomit or regurgitate within 5 –
10 mins after giving OPV – another dose
should be given at the same visit
If repeated dose is not retained,
re-administered at the next visit
Diarrhea:
Could OPV be given?

Diarrhea should not be considered as a
contraindication for OPV but to ensure
full protection, doses given to children
with diarrhea SHOULD NOT BE
COUNTED as part of the series
Need to give 2 or more vaccines:
How to give?

Multiple vaccinations


Administer each vaccine at a different site
using different needles and syringes
If > 1 vaccine is to be used in a single
limb, use the thigh muscle and given at 1 2 inches apart
Interruption of Schedule
What to do?


Interruption with a delay between
doses does not interfere with the final
immunity achieved
No need to start the series again
Contraindications?

Live attenuated vaccines is
contraindicated in:



Pregnant woman
Immunocompromised person – leukemia,
lymphoma, malignancy, therapy with
steroids, alkylating agents, antimetabolites
Radiotherapy
Trivia


vaccines?

Guidelines for Giving Live
vaccines and killed Antigens

2 or more killed antigens – may be
administered simultaneously or at any
interval between doses

Example:



DPT and Hep B
DPT and Hib
Hep A and Hep B

Killed and live antigens – may be
administered simultaneously or at any
interval between doses

Example:




DPT and OPV
Hep b and MMR
DPT and Measles
DPT and varicella

2 or more live antigens – may administered
simultaneously or at 4 week minimum interval
if not given simultaneously

Example:


Measles and varicella
MMR and varicella
** OPV can be administered at any time before,
with or after MMR if indicated
Guidelines for administration
of IG & Vaccines

Simultaneous administration

IG and killed antigen – given at the same
time or at any time between doses



Hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B
vaccine
Tetanus antitoxins and anti-tetanus vaccine
IG and live antigen – should generally NOT
BE ADMINISTERED simultaneously

Immune Response


Immune response to one live virus
vaccine might be impaired if
administered within 30 days of another
live virus vaccine
Only OPV and MMR can be
administered at anytime before, with or
after each other
Immune Response


Live virus vaccines can interfere with
the response to a tuberculin test
Tuberculin testing can be done either
on the same day that live virus vaccines
are administered or 4 – 6 weeks later
Special Conditions…
Special Considerations

Persons with hemophilia




immunization hx: he had received 1 dose of BCG, 3 doses of
DPT, TOPV & Hepatitis B. If you are the attending physician,
how are you going to manage the patient?

Give measles vaccine if the exposure is within 72 hours

Give measles immunoglobulin if the exposure is more than 72
hours
 Give MMR if the exposure is within 72 hours

Give Mesles vaccine and immune globulin at the same time
