SUMMARY. An increasing number of new and improved vaccines to prevent childhood diseases are being introduced. Combination vaccines represent one solution to the problem of increased numbers of injections during single clinic visits. This statement provides general guidance on the use of combination vaccines and related issues and questions.. To minimize the number of injections children receive, parenteral combination vaccines should be used, if licensed and indicated for the patients age, instead of their equivalent component vaccines. Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccines, in either monovalent or combination formulations from the same or different manufacturers, are interchangeable for sequential doses in the vaccination series. However, using acellular pertussis vaccine product(s) from the same manufacturer is preferable for at least the first three doses, until studies demonstrate the interchangeability of these vaccines. Immunization providers should stock ...

PY - 2007/11. Y1 - 2007/11. N2 - Preharvest intervention strategies to reduce Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cattle have been sought as a means to reduce human foodborne illness. A blinded clinical trial was conducted to test the effect of a vaccine product on the probability that feedlot steers, under conditions of natural exposure, shed E. coli O157:H7 in feces, are colonized by this organism in the terminal rectum, or develop a humoral response to the respective antigens. Steers (n = 288) were assigned randomly to 36 pens (eight head per pen), and pens were randomized to vaccination treatment in a balanced fashion within six ...
Vaccines in vitro characterization is required to identify optimal formulation conditions to ensure physical, chemical, and biological integrity of antigens and adjuvants. Analytical methods currently in use are mostly suitable for the characterization of unformulated antigens - requiring the complete desorption from aluminum-based adjuvants - and are not always able to reveal individual antigens in vaccine combinations. Here, the Luminex technology is proposed as proof of concept for the development of an improved analytical method for vaccine characterization, based on the use of specific antibodies bound to magnetic microspheres presenting unique digital signatures for simultaneous recognition of respective antigens in the entire formulation. TdaP combination vaccines were chosen as a model to develop an assay able to quantify acellular pertussis antigens and their levels of adsorption to adjuvant at the same time. This assay was directly applicable on the commercial vaccine product, avoiding ...
On February 27, 2008, new information was presented to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) regarding the risk for febrile seizures among children aged 12--23 months after administration of the combination measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine (ProQuad®, Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, New Jersey). This report summarizes current knowledge regarding the risk for febrile seizures after MMRV vaccination and presents updated ACIP recommendations that were issued after presentation of the new information. These updated recommendations remove ACIPs previous preference for administering combination MMRV vaccine over separate injections of equivalent component vaccines (i.e., measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR] vaccine and varicella vaccine). The combination tetravalent MMRV vaccine was licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 6, 2005, for use in children aged 12 months--12 years (1). MMRV vaccine can be used in place of trivalent MMR ...
Vaccination compliance will predictably become a significant concern as current schedules approach the limit of public acceptance [1] and new vaccines become available. The development of combination vaccines is a common practice that addresses the concern of repeated visits to the clinic by reducing the total number of injections required compared with administration schedules for the monovalent vaccines. Yet, physical, chemical, and biological interactions between the components of combination vaccines must be considered to avoid detrimental effects on safety or efficacy. For example, when the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine was combined with diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine, a decrease in antibody titer for the Hib vaccine was observed [2]. Thus, there is a need to develop new approaches for delivery of multiple vaccines.. We evaluated delivery of multiple vaccines intradermally (i.d.) to physically isolate each component, thus directly preventing formulation ...

Immunovaccine Inc., a clinical stage vaccine company, presented positive data from clinical and preclinical vaccine studies, including DPX-Survivac, the companys lead therapeutic cancer vaccine, this weekend at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2014 Annual Meeting. In a poster presentation, Immunovaccine highlighted results demonstrating that metronomic cyclophosphamide (mCPA), an immune modulating agent, enhanced the immunogenicity of DepoVax™-based vaccines in preclinical cancer models consistent with previously reported Phase I data showing a similar enhancement of DPX-Survivac in patients. Importantly, the animal studies demonstrated the combination therapys ability to eliminate advanced tumors that could not be treated with vaccine or mCPA alone. Tumors exposed to the combination therapy specifically exhibited an increase in T cell activation markers, suggesting increased immune-mediated anti-tumor activity at the tumor site with the vaccine/mCPA therapy and further ...
The current study demonstrates efficacy of the M hyo and PCV2 combination vaccine in 3 week old piglets in the presence of high PCV2 MDI level. Results of this study are in agreement with previous findings regarding the efficacy of the combination vaccine in the face of average PCV2 MDI levels (9.38 log2) [25].. Definitive diagnosis of EP is based on the demonstration of typical lung lesions [3]. The mean LLS in this study were significantly reduced in the vaccinated pigs, indicating the test products efficacy against M. hyo. In addition, lung lesions were also less severe in vaccinated pigs as nearly two thirds of vaccinated animals had a score , 10 compared to more than half of the controls with a score , 10. This finding further supports the vaccines efficacy against EP.. Moreover, during the finishing period, vaccinated pigs had a significantly better ADWG and the overall gain was 18 g per day greater than in the control pigs. The ADWG results were also in agreement with several previous ...

FRIDAY, April 14, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental vaccine therapy shows promise in treating glioblastoma, according to a study published online April 14 in Clinical Cancer Research.. Investigators tested the safety of the chemotherapy/vaccine combination in 11 patients. Patients received an intensified dose of temozolomide, followed by at least six vaccine injections. The vaccine therapy targets cytomegalovirus antigen pp65.. The vaccine treatments were well tolerated, the researchers found. Four of the 11 patients in this study survived for more than five years after vaccine/chemotherapy treatment.. While not a controlled efficacy study, the survival results were surprising, and they suggest the possibility that combining the vaccine with a more intense regimen of this chemotherapy promotes a strong cooperative benefit, lead author Kristen Batich, M.D., Ph.D., from the Duke Cancer Institute in New Haven, Conn., said in an institute news release. Our strategy was to capitalize on the ...

An approach to minimize this diversity is to focus immunity on conserved proteome sequences; therefore, we selected four relatively conserved regions (Gag amino acids 148 to 214 and 250 to 335, Env amino acids 521 to 606, and Nef amino acids 106 to 148), each created in three mosaics, to provide better coverage of M-group HIV-1 sequences. A conserved-region vaccine (CRV) delivering genes for these four regions as equal mixtures of three mosaics each (each region at a separate injection site) was compared to a whole-protein vaccine (WPV) delivering equimolar amounts of genes for whole Gag, Env, and Nef as clade B ...
There are no contraindications to the simultaneous administration of multiple individual vaccines, although the use of licensed combination vaccines can significantly reduce the required number of injections during the first 2 years of life. Combination DTaP/Hib vaccine should not be used for primary immunization of infants because it results in a blunted, suboptimal response to Hib; the combination may be used for booster immunizations. Simultaneous administration of the most widely used live and inactivated vaccines has not resulted in impaired antibody responses or in elevated rates of adverse reactions. In fact, this approach increases the likelihood that a child will ultimately be fully immunized. The simultaneous administration of vaccines is useful in any age group when the potential exists for exposure to multiple infectious diseases during travel to endemic countries. Live-virus vaccines may be given together on the same day; if this approach is not feasible, an interval of at least 30 ...

Wakefield, the pro-vaxer, is the martyr for cheering anti-vaxers. He advocates that the 3-in-1 MMR injection be applied as three separate injections. By obsessing on the unconfirmed validity of these three viruses (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Wakefield advocates three toxic vaccinations instead of one. Update: Wakefield is becoming more anti-vax, but he still maintains the same energy-sucking arguments that avoid the scientific fundamentals, as listed above. [ref ...

Dr Anand says: Just look at the Rapid Responses in the bmj over the past few years. Find a SINGLE response from a public health epidemiologist or physician or specialist, or from manufacturers of vaccines, replying to questions from patients carers, from Mr Stone, or Dr Noel Thomas, or from me, a retired doctor who spent a professional life-time promoting immunisation of the susceptible against a prevailing infection.[1]. At this time we have little or no accountability for vaccination policy and practice. Citizens such as John Stone and myself are raising legitimate questions about increasing vaccine product use and safety, but the authorities refuse to engage. Old school doctors such as Jog Anand, Noel Thomas and Allan Cunningham are commendable for trying to raise valid discussion relevant to vaccination policy. It seems this work is left to the retired doctors, how many currently practicing doctors would have the courage to rock the boat in these currently hostile times? Its ...

Vaccination is an extremely effective tool in reducing the burden of infectious diseases. There are many vaccine products currently available in Europe. Vaccines developed recently have been introduced according to common European Union (EU)-wide regulatory procedures since 2003, which implies that they are licensed for common indications and population groups across the EU.
Background: Immunization against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis has been applied in Iran since 1950. WHO suggests periodical evaluation of effectiveness of the triple diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis (DTwP) vaccine, worldwide. Objectives: To determine the immunogenicity of locally manufactured DTwP vaccine administered to preschool children in a number of health centers of Tehran in 2006. Methods: In this prospective study, 350 children aged 4-6 years were injected with DTwP vaccine manu-factured by Razi Institute of Iran. Blood samples were collected before and 2-4 weeks after the vaccination. The immunogenicity of the vaccine was assayed by measurement of specific antibodies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Results: Of the 337 children who were vaccinated, 99.4% and 100% had protective anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus antibody titers, respectively. The vaccine response and seroconversion for pertussis was achieved in 70.3% of the subjects. The geometric mean titers
Summary The need for a single childhood immunization schedule prompted the unification of previous vaccine recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). In addition to presenting the newly recommended schedule for the administration of vaccines during childhood, this report addresses the previous differences between the AAP and ACIP childhood vaccination schedules and the rationale for changing previous recommendations. INTRODUCTION Since 1988, the U.S. childhood immunization schedule has rapidly expanded to accommodate the introduction of new, universally recommended vaccines (i.e., Haemophilus influenzae type b {Hib} conjugate {1,2} and hepatitis B {2,3} vaccines) and recommendations for a second dose of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) (4,5) and the use of acellular pertussis vaccines (2,6). For approximately 30 years, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Committee on Infectious ...

Vaccines are among the most safe and effective public health interventions to prevent serious disease and death. Because of the success of vaccines, most Americans today have no firsthand experience with such devastating illnesses as polio or diphtheria. Health care providers who vaccinate young children follow a schedule prepared by the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Under the current schedule, children younger than six may receive as many as 24 immunizations by their second birthday. New vaccines undergo rigorous testing prior to receiving FDA approval; however, like all medicines and medical interventions, vaccines carry some risk.. Driven largely by concerns about potential side effects, there has been a shift in some parents attitudes toward the child immunization schedule. The Childhood Immunization Schedule and Safety identifies research approaches, methodologies, and study designs that could address questions about the safety of the current schedule.. This report is ...

Natural News) Have you ever questioned why todays children are receiving over 75 doses of vaccine, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)? The CDC, owning several vaccine patents, is the vaccine industry enforcement arm and policy guide for pedestrians and hospitals in the U.S. The CDCs childhood immunization schedule is so intense, pediatricians are now pushing shots for unborn babies still living inside their mothers. Forty-nine or more doses of vaccine are strongly recommended before a child reaches kindergarten age. State legislatures rapidly introduce new bills that try to restrict a parents rights when it comes to making medical decisions for their children. Every state has in place a legal framework that forces parents to either obtain a written medical, religious or philosophical exemption to vaccination in order for children to attend public learning institutions.. Medical choice and informed consent was once an inherent right of parents; now parents must seek ...
Healthy 4-6 y old children from Italy and Sweden immunized with DTPa and inactivated or oral polio vaccines at 3, 5 and 11-12 months of age, received 1 dose of combined DTPa-IPV (n = 211) or DTPa+IPV as separate doses (n = 205) in a randomized trial. The pre-booster seroprotection rates were similar in each group and were above 60% against all antigens except diphtheria (31.3% and 37.0%) and PT (21.5% and 25.9%) in the DTPa-IPV and DTPa+IPV groups, respectively. At least 99.5% of subjects had seroprotective antibody levels against diphtheria, tetanus and polioviruses and ≥96% showed a vaccine response to each pertussis antigen after vaccination. Post-booster antibody levels increased at least 51-fold for anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus, at least 18-fold for anti-pertussis antibodies and at least 32-fold for antibodies against all 3 poliovirus types, compared to prior levels. DTPa-IPV was comparable to DTPa+IPV in terms of seroprotection rates and mean antibody levels against each vaccine ...
KUALA LUMPUR, August 5 - The National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) has given conditional registration for emergency use of Modernas mRNA Covid-19 vaccine in Malaysia.. Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said this decision was made during a meeting today by the Drug Control Authority (DCA), which is under the NPRA. This conditional registration requires information on the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the vaccine product to be monitored and evaluated based on the latest data from time to time. It is to ensure that the comparison of benefit over risk for the vaccine product remains positive, Dr Noor Hisham said in a statement today.. The NPRA-approved vaccine by Moderna, an American pharmaceutical company, is made by Rovi Pharma Industrial Services S A based in Madrid, Spain.

In this study, we used the unique data resources of the VSD to evaluate the association between injection site and risk of medically attended local reactions to IM vaccines commonly given to children 1 to 6 years of age. In evaluations of IM vaccines given alone, we found that local reactions occurred more frequently after a DTaP vaccine than after an inactivated influenza or hepatitis A vaccine and that injection of a DTaP vaccine in the arm was associated with a significantly higher risk compared with administration in the thigh, whereas there was no association of injection site and risk of a local reaction for the other 2 vaccine types. A higher risk of local reactions with arm administration of DTaP vaccine was also suggested by the results of analyses of vaccine combinations that included a DTaP vaccine.. The current ACIP recommendations, which were adopted in 2011, state that IM vaccines given to children 3 years of age and older should be administered in the deltoid, and for toddlers ...
Hib vaccine is usually given as 3 or 4 doses (depending on brand). Hib vaccine may be given as a stand-alone vaccine, or as part of a combination vaccine (a type of vaccine that combines more than one vaccine together into one shot).. Infants will usually get their first dose of Hib vaccine at 2 months of age, and will usually complete the series at 12-15 months of age.. Children between 12-15 months and 5 years of age who have not previously been completely vaccinated against Hib may need 1 or more doses of Hib vaccine.. Children over 5 years old and adults usually do not receive Hib vaccine, but it might be recommended for older children or adults with asplenia or sickle cell disease, before surgery to remove the spleen, or following a bone marrow transplant. Hib vaccine may also be recommended for people 5 to 18 years old with HIV. Hib vaccine may be given at the same time as other vaccines.. ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Keystone Policy Center worked together in 2011 to gather input from the public and national stakeholders to inform decision-making related to the childhood immunization schedule. The Keystone-led process engaged 277 local stakeholders and interested members of the public in a pilot project designed to get input regarding the values that could inform Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendations about whether or how to add new vaccines to the childhood immunization schedule. Participants had a general discussion about vaccines that protect children from rare but severe illnesses and a specific discussion about recently licensed and soon-to-be licensed meningococcal vaccines for infants.. The four public meetings were part of a process that also engaged national-level stakeholders in the same discussion. National stakeholder meetings involved participants from a number of organizations, including the American Academy of ...

Risk Summary All pregnancies have a risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of TWINRIX in pregnant women in the U.S. Available data do not suggest an increased risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in women who received TWINRIX within 28 days prior to conception or during pregnancy (see Data).. A developmental toxicity study was performed in female rats administered TWINRIX prior to mating and during gestation (0.2 mL at each occasion). This study revealed no adverse effects on fetal or pre-weaning development (see Data).. Data Human Data: A pregnancy exposure registry was maintained from 2001 to 2015. The registry prospectively enrolled 245 women who received a dose of TWINRIX during pregnancy or within 28 days prior to conception. After excluding ...
The GAVI Alliance is supplying the vaccine to India for free. Union health secretary P K Pradhan said, Gavi is giving us vaccines worth Rs 765 crore for three years for 10 states. However, we are rolling it out in two states which have high routine immunization coverage rate. We will decide on the request of the other six states by analyzing their capability to handle adverse effects of vaccination. After three years, India will bear the expense for procuring the pentavalent vaccine on its own ...
While many children handle vaccines without any noticeable difficultly, some have reactions which cause understandable concern among parents - concern which can affect how and if they continue vaccinating their children. Adults suffer side effects too. Just how real are these reactions? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has created a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) for every vaccine so that consumers can understand the small risk of moderate to severe side effects which may occur. Vaccine Product Inserts, written and distributed by the vaccine manufacturers, provide even more detailed information.. DTaP vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis):. The CDC tells parents that about 1 in 1000 babies will react with non-stop crying for 3 or more hours. What the CDC fails to disclose, however, is this type of crying after receiving vaccines refers to what is known as encephalitis, which is much more harmful than the standard fussiness common after most vaccines. Encephalitis is ...

If you are wondering whether you should get the pneumonia shot, the answer is determined by your age. Babies 2 years old and younger and all adults 65 years and older are at greater risk of pneumonia and other pneumococcal diseases. Babies receive the PCV13 vaccine as four separate injections, at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 1 year old. Seniors aged 65 years and older should receive both the PCV13 and PPSV23. The two vaccines should not be given in the same visit. Additionally, adults aged 19 to 64 years who have a long-term health condition may need additional doses of the pneumococcal vaccinations, depending on their underlying health problem.. ...
According to an announcement made by India-based Bharat Biotech last week, the company has been working on two candidates for the Zika vaccine for more than a year. The vaccines in development - one of which is an inactivated for the virus, while the other is a recombinant vaccine containing antigens from the surface of the virus - could put the company ahead of others in the search for a Zika vaccine.. The company claims that they are likely the first to apply for a patent for their Zikavac vaccine candidate, which has already begun pre-clinical animal trials. Like all potential vaccines against the Zika virus - currently in development by companies such as Inovio, Sanofi and now Takeda - it could be many years before the vaccine is approved for widespread use among those at risk.. Currently, our efforts are towards scale-up and characterization of the vaccine product, said a statement released by Bharat. Our interest in Zika virus, an obscure virus when we started the project a year ago, ...

While surveillance and diagnostics are key to selecting the right vaccine or vaccine combination, applying them correctly is essential, the expert stressed.. According to Jackwood, vaccination by spray in the hatchery is the most efficient and easiest to monitor. But while this may sound simple, he cautioned, its easy for things to go wrong.. As an enveloped virus, IBV is very fragile, the expert said. Its easily affected by temperature and shearing forces and can lose titer quickly, so the vaccine should be kept cold, mixed with cold diluent and used before it warms to room temperature.. Proper dosage is also important, he added. When disease pressure is lower in summer, he said, producers sometimes cut doses to reduce vaccine reaction. However, if the dose is too low - or if the vaccine is not a good match for circulating field strains - it may not induce adequate immunity. This allows field virus to replicate at a low level under radar, potentially giving rise to new and more virulent ...
If you did not have the vaccines before starting treatment, and vaccines are thought advisable later, these can be given by your GP on the advice of your dermatologist. Although inactivated vaccines can be given to immunosuppressed patients, the response may be less than in someone not taking this medication. A blood test can be taken to check the response to the vaccine.. Is it important to know whether I have had chickenpox in the past?. Yes. This is because chicken pox can be a serious infection in someone whose immune system is not fully active. Discuss with your doctor/GP whether you have had chickenpox in the past. If you are unsure, a blood test can be done to check for antibodies to Varicella (chickenpox). If you are not immune (i.e. no antibodies are detected) you may be offered vaccination prior to starting treatment.. However, the vaccination in adults involves having 2 separate injections 4 to 8 weeks apart. As this may delay starting your treatment for up to 3 months your doctor may ...

Influenza (also known as the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, and headache. Children commonly experience vomiting and diarrhea, as well. Serious outcomes of flu infection can result in hospitalization. Examples of complications from flu include pneumonia, ARDS, exacerbation of underlying conditions, bronchitis, and sometimes death. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions (including, but not limited to, are diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular disease, and pregnancy) are at high risk for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated each year. Each year a new vaccine combination, based on surveillance data from the previous year, is distributed. Because it takes two weeks for immunity to build up, it is best to get your vaccine in October, before flu season ...
The science has shown that those with weakened immune systems often do not develop the same level of immune response after their initial COVID-19 vaccine series as those with uncompromised immune systems, said Dr. Ryan Westergaard, Chief Medical Officer for the Bureau of Communicable Diseases. Fortunately, studies show that a third dose can help bolster the immune response in these individuals to achieve the same strong protection from the virus that those who are not immunocompromised were able to develop with just the two-dose series. If you are not included in this new group of individuals recommended for an additional dose, you should be reassured that the data shows good protection with the one or two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series at this time.. The additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine should be administered at least 28 days after completing the primary COVID-19 vaccine series. ACIP recommends that patients should receive the same vaccine product as the first two doses. However, if ...
Dr. Adel Mahmoud, FVR Board Director and tireless vaccine advocate, dies at 76. FVR Board Chair, Prof. Simon Wain-Hobson, writes:. Sadly, our good friend Adel Mahmoud passed away on June 11. Adel was a great teacher and mover, beloved by colleagues and everyone whose lives he touched. As president of Merck Vaccines, he played a pivotal role in bringing the rotavirus, HPV and shingles vaccines to market, as well as the quadrivalent measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) vaccine. According to Merck, more than 500 million doses of these four vaccines have been distributed globally, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.. Our perspective is less well known. He was an active and unswerving supporter of the Foundation for Vaccine Research. On a rough day, Adel would always find a way to encourage, infecting us with his enthusiasm. He could be very down to earth. While recognizing the power of modern technology, he saw the disconnect between academic research and the grunt work necessary to producing a ...
Thursday, October 20, 2016. The U.N. Childrens Fund reports a steep drop in the price of a crucial childhood vaccine will prevent millions of deaths in dozens of the worlds poorest countries.. The U.N. childrens fund reports 1.5 million children under five die each year from illnesses preventable by vaccines. Thanks to a breakthrough deal with six pharmaceutical companies to lower the price of a pentavalent vaccine many of these deaths will be averted.. Director of UNICEFs supply and procurement headquarters, Shanelle Hall, says it has taken 16 years to bring down the price of the vaccine.. From next year through 2019, we will be able to procure this pentavalent vaccine, which protects children against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenza B for less than one dollar a dose, and that is half the price that we pay this year, this month, this week, she said.. ...

Parents of children who died after administration of the pentavalent vaccine have reported to me of their children crying inconsolably soon after vaccination and then having seizures-continuous and intractable seizures-before they died. Convulsions are a known adverse reaction to vaccination. If a child survives, the convulsions are attributed to the vaccine because convulsions are acknowledged as a known adverse reaction to the vaccine. If a child died due to continuous convulsion , it is labelled as a coincidental death (and not a death related to vaccine) because death is not an acknowledged side effect of the vaccine. This has happened repeatedly but each death is erased as not related and then health authorities can claim that no death has ever been reported related to the vaccine, even after extensive phase 4 trials in millions of children ...
Persons who do not meet all 3 of the above criteria should continue to follow current quarantine guidance after exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.. It is important to note that the CDC has not systematically evaluated the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines from manufacturers that have not sought an EUA in the United States. For the purposes of these quarantine criteria, considerations for accepting a vaccination series that is not FDA-authorized include whether the vaccine product has received emergency approval from the World Health Organization or authorization from a national regulatory agency.. Although the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from vaccinated persons to others is still uncertain, vaccination has been demonstrated to prevent symptomatic COVID-19; symptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission is thought to have a greater role in transmission than purely asymptomatic transmission. Additionally, individual and societal benefits of avoiding unnecessary quarantine may ...
In response to questions posed in the first part of this article, veterinary vaccinologists have recommended new protocols for dogs and cats. These include: 1) giving the puppy or kitten vaccine series followed by a booster at one year of age; 2) administering further boosters in a combination vaccine every three years or as split components alternating every other year until; 3) the pet reaches geriatric age, at which time booster vaccination is likely to be unnecessary and may be unadvisable for those with aging or immunologic disorders. In the intervening years between booster vaccinations, and in the case of geriatric pets, circulating humoral immunity can be evaluated by measuring serum vaccine antibody titers as an indication of the presence of immune memory. This latter phrase is more correct that protective immunity, because protection against disease means survival after challenge with the infectious agent and may not correlate with the serum antibody titer. Titers do not ...
