Summary Introduction
To describe:
The advice given to a person, who is refusing to get flu vaccine because she did not get vaccinated last year and did not fall ill.
Introduction:
The vaccine is referred to a biological preparation, which is given to a person, in order to achieve an acquired immunity against the disease. A preventative vaccine is a type of vaccine, which is given to a person when the person is unaffected by the pathogen. In preventative vaccination, an inactivated part of the pathogen is inserted into the body. The body recognizes the foreign body (inactivated pathogen) and manufactures antibodies against it.

As a support worker you are giving home care to a client who is recovering after major breast cancer surgery. She is ideologically opposed to immunizations. Because of an outbreak of measles in the area, her young son has been excluded from school for some time, which is causing her distress since she sees no wrong in her son attending school.
How can you explain to your client the benefits of protecting children?
In the text, the author describes the benefits of receiving vaccines. Are there
disadvantages? Why do you think some people might choose not to get vaccinated?
Vaccines typically contain particles that are pieces of the virus or bacteria they target. How do you think this helps you avoid getting sick in the future?
a) vaccine-preventable diseases are just part of life. it is better to have the disease than become immune through vaccines
b) vaccine programs fail to produce overall health benefits of a population by because they do not reduce the transmission od disease
c) the particles act as antibodies, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies
d) the particles act as antigens, against which the person's immune system will develop antibodies
e) vaccines create an entirely new immune system

- At a recent trip to the drug store, your pharmacist informs you that the flu vaccines are in. You fear the risk of getting the flu because you've had it before and it wasn't a pleasant experience. You proceed to get the vaccinated for the flu. Which of the following statements regarding your recent vaccination is true? O The vaccine you received protects you from every strain of the flu. O The vaccine you received protects you from the strain of bacteria which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season". O The vaccine you received protects you from the virus which scientists believe will be common in the upcoming "flu season". O The vaccine won't be effective because you've had the flu in the past and are immune to it.arrow_forwardHow much time does it take for a flu pandemic to infect people all around the world?arrow_forwardEach year we see flu shots advertised just about everywhere. Many are required to get them due to their professions. The elderly and children are also advised to get them as they are the greatest at risk. There is a growing concern and movement that has led to the proposal of a bill in Rhode Island that says a child can’t attend daycare or pre-kindergarten unless they have received a flu shot. Some believe this could be considered an intrusion into personal liberties. what are thoughts on this issuearrow_forward
- Which of the following best explains why vaccination of humans against rabies can be delayed until after exposure to a potential source of infection? A) Antibody responses are more rapid than those against other viruses B) T lymphocyte responses are more rapid than those against other viruses C) The virus does not infect any cells for several weeks or months D) The virus does not reach i target organ for several weeks or monthsarrow_forwardYearly vaccination is the primary means of preventing and controlling flu outbreaks. Here 'yearly' is important because: New vaccines with better efficacy are produced each year Circulating strains of influenza viruses change from year to year New vaccines with up-to-date strain components are produced each year Who is at higher risk of developing severe pneumonia when infected with SARS-CoV-2? An undergraduate A student at high-school A 6-month-old baby A 70 years old man with diabetes and high blood pressurearrow_forwardLast year 68 year old Juana received her influenza vaccination and two days later she showed all the signs and symptoms of having contracted influenza. A year later she refused to receive another influenza vaccine because she believes she will get influenza from the vaccine.

- Many hospitals are making seasonal flu shots mandatory for their employees. Some facilities will allow workers with a medical or religious release to be excused from receiving the shot but they are required to wear a mask for the duration of the "flu season".

Is it a living organism? How does it reproduce? The current vaccines that are being distributed in the United States are made by Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson and Johnson.
