EXPANDED PROGRAM ON IMMUNIZATION
Immunity-✅✅ Condition of being protected against a particular disease
2 Types of Immunity-✅✅ Natural/Innate
Adaptive
Natural/Innate Immunity- ✅✅ The body's inborn system to protect itself
and fight infections
Adaptive Immunity- ✅✅ This develops as a result of exposure to a
disease-causing organism so that next time the body meets it again, it can
defend itself
Antigen-✅✅ Substance that causes the body to produce specific
antibodies
Antibody- ✅✅ Substance that is produced by the immune system and
defends the body against infections.
Naturally Acquired Active Immunity- ✅✅ Resulting from infection
eg: COVID-19 creates antibodies
Artificially Acquired Active Immunity-✅✅ Injection of Antigen (vaccine:
attenuated, killed, toxoid, recombinant DNA)
Giving a copy of the microorganism will trigger the immune system to
produce antibodies against the real microorganism to prevent infection
Naturally Acquired Passive Immunity- ✅✅ Transplacental or colostrum
Antibodies gained by the mother either through infections or vaccine will be
transferred to the baby
Artificially Acquired Passive Immunity-✅✅ Injection of antibody
eg: antiserum, immunoglobulin
Giving the body the antibodies needed to fight off or prevent an infection
, ✅✅
Artificially Acquired Active- Identify the type of immunity:
Animal handlers get rabies vaccinations to protect themselves from
potential exposure to the virus through bites or scratches
Naturally Acquired Passive- ✅✅ Identify the type of immunity:
Plasma therapy is one of the techniques currently being tested against
COVID-19. Patients who have recovered successfully from the disease
donate plasma from their blood.
Naturally Acquired Active- ✅✅ Identify the type of immunity:
A patient developed chickenpox when she was a kid. Despite having an
officemate who has chickenpox now, she did not get sick.
✅✅
Artificially Acquired Passive- Identify the type of immunity:
ER personnel attended to a patient who got injured by a rusty metal. He
was given Tetanus antitoxin to neutralize the tetanospasmin
Immunization- ✅✅ Beneficial and cost-effective disease prevention.
Process of inducing immunity against a specific disease through vaccines.
Passive (administration of antibody-containing preparations) or active
(stimulation of the immune system)
Protection is usually long-term if not lifetime
Smallpox- ✅✅ This disease was widespread in the 18th century and
resulted in a very high death rate.
✅✅
Variolation- Intentionally infecting a healthy person with the "matter"
taken from a patient sick with a mild attack of the disease
Cowpox- ✅✅ Persons who suffered an attack of ___ (a relative of
smallpox)- a relatively harmless disease that could be contracted from
cattle could not take the smallpox.
Edward Jenner- ✅✅ The father of immunization.
