Study Notes

Vaccine Administration and Types in Animals

Passive immunity in dogs and cats due to high levels of maternally acquired antibodies can make early immunization ineffective.
Active immune response is generally possible in animals by 6-12 weeks of age, but the timing of the loss of passive immunity and the maturity of the immune system is difficult to determine.
Vaccines are typically given every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age to stimulate active immunity and protect animals from disease.
Only 1-2 vaccinations are usually needed to stimulate an immune response in older animals, as passive immunity no longer interferes.
Vaccine types aim to stimulate active immunity without causing disease and are classified into noninfectious and infectious categories.
Noninfectious vaccines include whole pathogens that are killed or subunits, with limitations in stimulating a strong immune response.
Adjuvants are added to some noninfectious vaccines to help stimulate a stronger immune response, but they can also cause reactions.
Noninfectious vaccines have the advantage of not causing disease and are more stable than infectious vaccines, such as the rabies vaccine.
Infectious vaccines, including modified live attenuated and recombinant types, aim to stimulate immunity without causing disease, but may cause disease if not altered enough.
Vaccines typically involve refrigeration, and infectious vaccines lack stability, being freeze-dried to extend stability.
Vaccines are administered through subcutaneous or intramuscular routes, with some given intranasally to stimulate local immunity, but transdermal administration is uncommon.
Core vaccines are recommended for all animals of a species, while noncore vaccines are elective and not recommended for every animal based on exposure and lifestyle risk of disease.
