3 reasons Why we must take the covid 19 vaccine
I NEED INFORMATION ON MODERNA VACCINE. IT HAS TO BE MINIMUM OF 250 WORDS EXPLANATION, I NEED HELP REVIEWING AND SUMMARIZING THE FOLOOWING THREE KEY POINTS ON MODERNA VACCINE.
1. Type of vaccine (mRNA/viral vector) and shot requirements
2. How the vaccine stimulates an immune response in our body.
3. Safety concerns
True or false
1. Increased susceptibility to pyogenic (pus-forming) bacterial infections often points to a defect in antibody, complement, or phagocytotic function.
2. The population of HIV viral variants circulating in the human population is extremely diverse, which has hampered development of an HIV vaccine for all people. True or False: Within a given individual, all HIV viruses are genetically identical, leading to efficient elimination of virus on a per-patient basis.

He had been feeling well until 2 weeks before, when he experienced a sore throat, fever, chills, profound malaise, and myalgia. Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were observed. His medications included cyclosporine. 1. Could this patient be suffering from an infectious disease?2. Why would this patient be susceptible to an opportunistic infection?3. How could an infection of this type be potentially eliminated?4. Are health care workers at risk for infections of this type?arrow_forwardImmunology This 29 year old Lab Tech is suffering from fever, persistent fatigue, and joint pain. He reported that a needle in a plastic garbage bag nicked his finger about 2 months ago. His physical examination was within normal limits. His laboratory data, however, revealed elevated liver serum enzyme levels and total bilirubin levels. Additional laboratory data included positive HBsAg and positive IgM anti-HBc. His IgM anti-HAV and anti-HCV tests were negative. 1. Does this patient have a form of infectious hepatitis? If so, what type? 2. Can any further tests be done to confirm the diagnosis? 3.

- Clinical Case Study Four generations of the DOE family live in the southeastern United States: 72 -year old grandmother Nancy, 44-year old father Chad, Chad's oldest daughter, Gina, 23 years old, and Gina's 18 month-old son Joseph. As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions. While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes. 1) Besides blood and urine, what are other body fluids that can be collected for diagnostic purposes? 2) Do you believe that there are body fluids that are only clinically relevant at certain time points in life? Or, instead, are the diagnostic utility of these fluids equal across the lifespan?arrow_forwardCurrent vaccines against COVID-19 that has made it to the market.arrow_forwardPlease help me I really a comprehensive explanation please help.
