Types of Immunity
This type of immunity provides immediate but NON-specific protection.
What is innate immunity?
DTaP is first given at these three infant ages.
What are 2, 4, and 6 months?
The MOST common risk for patients on immunosuppressants.
What is infection?
Vaccines should NOT be given in patients with this condition.
What is active infection or severe febrile illness?
Antibodies do this when re-exposed to the same pathogen.
What is attack and destroy it quickly?
A patient scheduled for vaccination has a fever of 102°F.
What is hold the vaccine?
This triggers lymphocytes to produce antibodies.
What is antigen exposure?
Adults should receive Tdap boosters at this interval.
What is every 10 years?
Infection may go unnoticed in these patients because of this.
What is suppressed inflammatory response?
This group should NOT receive live vaccines.
What are immunocompromised patients?
Toxoid vaccines protect against these diseases (name one).
What is tetanus, diphtheria, or pertussis?
A transplant patient on mycophenolate reports “feeling fine,” but labs show infection. Why?
What is suppressed immune response masking symptoms?
This type of immunity occurs when a mother transfers antibodies to her infant.
What is natural acquired passive immunity?
These two vaccines are recommended during pregnancy.
What are influenza and Tdap?
Sirolimus, everolimus, and the calcineurin inhibitors cyclosporine and tacrolimus increase cholesterol and lead to this condition.
What is hypertension?
This group should NOT receive live vaccines.
What are MMR, varicella, polio (any two)?
Booster vaccines are needed for this reason.
What is to maintain immunity?
A pregnant patient asks about getting the varicella vaccine.
What is contraindicated due to live virus?
This type of immunity involves pre-made antibodies given after exposure (e.g., rabies).
What is artificial acquired passive immunity?
This lab confirms immunity after varicella vaccination.
What is antibody titer (anti-VZV)?
Cyclosporine requires monitoring of these two organ systems.
What are kidney and liver function?
Household members of immunocompromised patients should do this before live vaccines.
What is consult a healthcare provider?
Passive immunity is short-term because of this.
What is no memory cell formation?
A patient on cyclosporine mixes it with water. What is the issue?
What is incorrect preparation affecting drug effectiveness?
This type of immunity requires multiple doses and boosters for long-term protection.
What is artificial acquired active immunity?
These vaccines contain dead antigens and cannot cause infection.
What are inactivated vaccines?
Antiproliferative drugs are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy due to this risk.
What is birth defects (teratogenicity)?
Women on antiproliferative drugs must do this to prevent complications.
What is use two forms of contraception?
Innate immunity cannot do this.
What is provide long-term or specific immunity?
Why did the vaccination bring a suitcase?
Because it was ready to pack some serious protection!
