    Study Notes

    Fundamentals of Immunization

    • Oral alcohol should dry the mouth before vaccine injection.
    • No side effects are typically noted from alcohol used in preparation.
    • Maintain NPO (nothing per oral) for 30 minutes post-vaccine to prevent vomiting and ensure absorption.
    • For vomiting children, administer another vaccine dose; diarrhea allows OPV (oral polio vaccine) but counts as a missed dose, so schedule next visit accordingly.

    Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV)

    • Prevents poliomyelitis; provided as a liquid, clear solution.
    • Target age: 14 weeks with a dose of 0.5 ml via intramuscular (IM) injection in the vastus lateralis.
    • Local tenderness may occur post-injection.
    • Must adhere to strict cold chain, aseptic techniques, and monitor with Vaccine Vial Monitor (VVM).

    Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV)

    • Designed to combat pneumonia and meningitis; delivered in a liquid form.
    • Doses given at ages 6, 10, and 14 weeks, with a dose of 0.5 ml administered via IM in the vastus lateralis.
    • For ages 2-5 years, offer one dose.
    • Cold compresses recommended for post-injection management.

    Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccine

    • Administered at 9 months and again at 12-15 months.
    • Composed of live-attenuated viruses with potential side effects like local soreness and mild fever.
    • Delivered subcutaneously (SC) at a dose of 0.5 ml in the outer arm.
    • Vitamin A supplementation (200,000 IU) may enhance immunity.

    Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV)

    • Clear, pinkish live-attenuated vaccine aimed at GI immunity, administered at ages 6, 10, and 14 weeks.
    • Dose delivered orally as 0.5 ml (2 drops).
    • Vaccines can be mixed or given same day at different injection sites, maintaining distance when administering multiple in one leg.

    Hepatitis B Vaccine

    • Immunizes against Hepatitis B; cloudy solution derived from plasma or RNA recombinant.
    • Given at birth with a 0.5 ml dosage via IM injection at the vastus lateralis site.
    • Local soreness at the injection site is common; cold compresses may alleviate discomfort.

    Pentavalent Vaccine

    • Combines protection against Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Hepatitis B, and Hib.
    • Administered according to recommended schedule up to ages designated for vaccination.

    Contraindications and Considerations

    • Hospitalization-required serious conditions and immunocompromised states like AIDS are absolute contraindications.
    • Mild conditions (fever, respiratory infections, diarrhea, malnutrition) are generally not contraindications.
    • Ensure adherence to routine immunization schedules and instructions for caregivers regarding common side effects.

    Policies and Laws

    • PD No. 996 mandates immunization for infants and children below 8 years.
    • RA 7846 includes Hepatitis B for children under 8 years.
    • Mandatory Infants and Children's Health Immunization Act (RA 10152) governs immunization programs through age 5 and includes new vaccines.
