threatening diseases. - Answer -immunity
When is the recommended times for children ages 7-18 to get the Flu Vaccine? -
Answer -Every Year
vaccination - Answer -stimulate immune response
What are the routinely recommended vaccines? - Answer -Polio,mumps, rubella,
tetanus,
vaccination - Answer -the introduction into the body of a weakened killed or piece of a
disease causing agent to prevent disease
what is a vaccine? - Answer -a preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as
bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure that upon administration
stimulates antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen
immunization - Answer -when the body becomes immune to a disease
immunization - Answer -the process by which the body becomes immune to a disease.
A person can become immune by getting the disease or from a vaccination
What three things do companies test for in a vaccine? - Answer -potent, pure, and
sterile
According to the CDC, __________________ are tested to ensure that they are safe
and effective for children to receive at the recommended ages. - Answer -vaccines

Answer -11-12 years
,When is the recommended times for children ages 7-18 to get the HPV Vaccine? -
Answer -11-12 years
_______________________ is the body's way of preventing disease. - Answer -
Immunity
epidemic - Answer -when more people in a particular population get a disease than
typically expected
epidemic - Answer -when more people in a population get a disease than expected
what is immunization/vaccination? - Answer -act of inoculating an individual with a
vaccine (active) or providing protective antibodies (passive)
What to organizations monitor the vaccines? - Answer -FDA and CDC
what is the way of a artificially acquiring passive specific immunity? - Answer -
preformed antibody in immune serum by injection --> transient protection
pandemic - Answer -worldwide outbreak of diease (ex. flu - 1918)
pandemic - Answer -when a disease outbreak is global or over large areas of the world
How do vaccines work? - Answer -They spike the immune response and help the
immune system fight off the infection and remember it for next time(made of small
amount of weak or dead cells)
When a baby is born, his/her _______________system is not fully developed, which
can put him/her at greater risk for infections. - Answer -immune
When is the recommended times for children ages 7-18 to get the MEN AWY Vaccine?
- Answer -11-12 years, and 16-18 years
Community immunity - Answer -The idea that one person getting a vaccine will help the
whole community.
What is the MenACWY Vaccine? - Answer -meningococcal conjugate vaccine
According to the CDC, ________________ reduce your children's risk of infection by
working with his/her body's natural defenses to help safely develop immunity to disease.
- Answer -Vaccines
pathogen - Answer -is a disease causing agent. it usually refers to a virus, bacteria,
fungi, or protozoan parasite
the goal of vaccine? - Answer -prevent disease
, what is the way of artificially acquiring active specific immunity? - Answer -antigens in
vaccines--> body makes antibodies and specialized lymphocytes--> long term
protection
what is the way of naturally acquiring passive immunity? - Answer -antibodies from
mother to fetus =IgG
antibodies from mother to nursing child= IgA
--> transient protection
how vaccines work - step 1 - Answer -an antigen ¨tags¨ a pathogen as foreign
virus - Answer -a small, infectious agent that only can replicate inside the cells of a
living organisms. It has a core DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not
itself a living cell
Live-Attenuated vaccines - Answer -weakened (attenuated) form of the germ
Vaccines use very small amounts of __________________ to help a child's immune
system recognize and learn to fight serious diseases. - Answer -antigens
What is the MenB Vaccine? - Answer -serogroup B meningococcal
It is recommended for people that are at higher risk of developing pneumococcus and
Hepatitis A, the PCV13 and Hep A Vaccine should be given what years between 7-18? -
Answer -All Years 7-18
____________________ are parts of germs that cause the body's immune system to go
to work. - Answer -antigens
Inactivated vaccines - Answer -Use the killed version of the germ
bacteria - Answer -are a large group of microorganisms. They are less complex than
eukaryotes, they usually are unicellular, their DNA is not contained in the nucleu and
they do not have membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.
WHile some bacteria cause disease, the majority are harmless, and many are essential
to life
how vaccines work - step 2 - Answer -memory cells are present (they see pathogen)
what is the way of naturally acquiring active immunity? - Answer -antigens enter body
naturally--> produce antibodies and specialized lymphocytes
--> long term protection
which Ig is used to diagnose neonatal infections? - Answer -IgM
