What is a vaccine?
|
It is a product which immunizes against diseases caused by infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses.
|
|
|
Give me 5 examples of each of the 5 types of vaccines discussed in class.
|
1) MODIFIED LIVE - Combo DA2PPL and DHPPL but becomes a modified live mixed vaccine when mixed with liquid Lepto vaccine.
2) KILLED- Rabies vaccines 3) POLYVALENT-Lepto 4) SUBUNIT-Felv 5) HETEROLOGOUS-Measles to vaccinate against canine distemper |
|
|
Advantages and disadvantages of Modified Live Vaccine
|
Advantages:* Rapid onset of protection
* Longer lasting immunity * Only need one dose, although we usually give a booster Disadvantages: *Potential for virulence, especially in immunosupressed animals *Potential for abortion or fetal abnormalities *must be handled carefully to maintain vaccines viability |
|
|
What is an adjuvant and what type of vaccines are these added to?
|
It is a substance that is added to a killed vaccine to slow the release of the antigen into the body which leads to stimulation of the immune system and a higher immune response to the vaccine. It is ALWAYS added to KILLED vaccines.
|
|
|
Advantages and disadvantages of killed vaccines?
|
ADVANTAGES: *No possibility for virulence
*less likely to be immunosuppressive *less likely to cause abortion *remains stable longer in solution DISADVANTAGES: * Hypersensitivity reactions, possibly linked to adjuvants *Not as immunogenic as modified live *Requires adjuvant |
|
|
What does DA2PPLCV stand for and what is the schedule for it?
|
Distemper
Adenovirus 2/or Hepatitis Parainfluenza Parvo Leptospirosis - 4 serovars Corona virus SCHEDULE: 1st dose at 6-8 weeks *Booster at 10-12 weeks *Adults with unknown history initial shot should be followed by a booster in 2-4 Weeks *Annual boosters thereafter |
|
|
When is the rabies vaccine typically given the first time?
|
16 weeks is the common age
|
|
|
What is included in the kennel cough vaccine and what is its schedule?
|
It contains Bordetella bronchiseptica
Advenovirus2 or Hepatitis Parainfluenza SCHEDULE: Puppies 1st dose 10-12 weeks Booster 14-16 Weeks Adults with unknown history initial injection followed by booster in 2-4 weeks If given by injection, annual re-vaccination schedule If given intra-nasally: Puppies at 10 to 12 weeks with a 6 month re-vaccination schedule Adults after initial vaccination, then every 6 months thereafter |
|
|
What does FVRCCP stand for and what is the schedule for this vaccine?
|
Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis
Calici virus Chlamydia Panleukopenia SCHEDULE: 1st dose at 6-8 weeks 2nd dose at 10-12 weeks 3rd, no earlier than 16 weeks Adults with unknown history, initial injection followed by a booster in 2-4 weeks |
|
|
What are some causes of vaccine failure? When does maternal interference end in puppies and kittens?
|
1) Maternal interference- antibodies received from mother interfere with vaccine and this should decrease sufficiently by 16 weeks
2) Stress- resulting cortisone release may inactivate vaccine 3) Age-very young or vary old 4) Nutritional deficiency 5) Immunusupression 6) Concurrent drug administration-usually steriods cause issues 7) Concurrent disease 8) Vaccine interference due to several vaccines being given at the same time |
|
|
Where would you administer the following vaccines?
a. Rabvac 1 b. Duramune Max 5 4L c. Bronchisheild III d. Felovax PCT e. Felovax LV-K |
a. Rabvac 1: SQ in Right hind leg, distal to hip
b. Duramune 5 4L: SQ Right front distal to mid-scapula c. Bronchisheild III- intranasally d. Felovax PCT- SQ right front distal to midscapula e. Felovax LV-k -SQ Left hind distal to hip |
