MMR vaccine

The management of each immediate contact with vaccine get harder as more and more connections are established between individuals. The bubbles with more connections and larger size pose greater spread chance and must be dealt with as soon as possible in all difficulty. As a result, my scores for the three difficulty is as follows: Easy – 90%, Medium – 75% and Hard – 86%. Individuals that should be given priority vaccination are the ones with the most connections between them and others, followed…

Quite a lot of times I have heard anecdotes of people avoiding STD tests because they're scared of knowing for sure that they have a sexually transmitted disease. They'd prefer to stay in the dark, but while there may have been a twisted logic to this some years ago when little could be done about sexually transmitted diseases, nowadays it makes no sense at all. Some STDs can be cured, and there are ways of managing the symptoms of others to ensure they're barely a hindrance any longer. In the…

as well as more specialized health concerns (often bioterrorism) such as anthrax and typhoid fever. Further, immunization science has also allowed researchers to deal with and study various deadly strains without undue danger to the researcher. Vaccines are cost effective, simple, and can be applied in a diverse set of situations and environments. There is a cross section of…

diseases. However, these accomplishments, which appear second nature to us, weren’t always available and accessible. In fact, the shift in proactive preventative public health occurred due to uncontrollable outbreaks such as diphtheria. Though we create vaccines to subdue mass epidemics, the issue of how to take further preventative action still persists globally. After reading the article, Diphtheria History, I felt really fascinated with the 1927 view of diseases. In this section, the…

Herpes simplex virus infections is an huge global health problem and there’s no current vaccine for it. According to Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have created a genetic mutant lacking that protein that advantage of a protein found on the virus outer surface of and works against it. The result is an effective vaccine against herpes viruses.The vaccine was affect for the two most common forms of herpes HSV-1 and HSV-2.There’s no exact date when…

resulting in viral copies that cannot destroy/infect new cells (Fauci, 2003). These combination treatments decline AIDs incidence and mortality in the U.S. Although many medications are presented to infected patients, there’s still no cure for HIV and no vaccine against the virus (Kates, 2011). Berg (2010)…

Long post, I apologize. **TL;DR:** I *might* have HPV. I wonder how my bf would react. I just had my first pap smear(to check for abnormal cells that have potential to become cervical cancer) + STI/STD tested. The results came out that I have abnormal cells, which *might* be due to HPVirus infection but negative for other STI/STDs. I was vaccinated against the common HPV strains that cause cancer and warts in 2009 (3 doses over the course of 6 months). Therefore, I refused to have the…

Seasonal influenza is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infections that annually effect a large portion of the population. These infections typically range from mild to moderate in severity, however life-threatening cases can occur. Frequently, complications associated with influenza infections are due to secondary bacterial pneumonia predominately caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae or Staphylococcus aureus (Rynda-Apple, Robinson, & Alcorn, 2015). Many efforts to resolve this pathology…

For centuries we have been working to come up with vaccines that help with disease. With new technology vaccines have now become part of modern medicine. According to Immunisation advisory Centre, “Edward Jenner is considered the founder of vaccinology in 1796, by demonstrating immunity to small pox” (Pg1). With Edward Jenner’s findings, we have been able to develop vaccines that help with all different kinds of diseases. Vaccines are very important because they have saved millions in the United…
