Questions and Answers

What is one of the basic principles of bioethics related to vaccination safety?

  • Vaccines should only be given to sick people

    • What is the significance of the phrase 'Primum non nocere' in relation to vaccination safety?

  • It emphasizes the importance of minimizing harm in medical interventions (correct)
  • It promotes the use of experimental vaccines
  • It encourages giving vaccines only to sick individuals
  • It suggests that vaccines are similar to common drugs

    • What does a temporal association between vaccination and adverse events not prove?

  • PRAC
  • Pathogenesis of vaccine-induced side effects
  • Vaccine and host factors
  • Coincidence vs causality (correct)

    Explain how can side effects of vaccine have very strong consequences on vaccination program

    <p>If people start vaccinating themselves the prevalence of disease decreases. The more people are vaccinated the more chances for different adverse effects. If people get too scared and dont vaccinate it can cause an outbreak of the disease again and the erradication will take longer time</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Study Notes

    • Vaccines have led to the successful prevention and eradication of several infectious diseases, such as smallpox and polio, with significant reduction in cases and deaths for others like pertussis, measles, and rubella.
    • However, vaccine confidence can be influenced by adverse events, which can range from minor reactions like fever, pain, and redness at the injection site to more severe ones like anaphylaxis, allergic reactions, and neurological disorders.
    • Side effects of vaccines can jeopardize vaccination programs, leading to decreased coverage and potential resurgence of diseases.
    • For example, in the case of pertussis vaccination in the USA, the number of cases and deaths decreased significantly after the start of vaccination in the 1940s, but side effects of the whole cell pertussis vaccine (Pw) led to loss of confidence and a resurgence of the disease in the late 1980s and 1990s.
    • Vaccine side effects can be immediate (hours to days) or delayed (days to weeks), and can be local or systemic in nature. Some common local reactions include pain, swelling, redness, while systemic reactions can include fever, chills, fatigue, headache, and myalgia.
    • Immediate type hypersensitivity reactions (type I), such as anaphylaxis, can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. These reactions are rare, occurring in less than 1:1 000 000 vaccine doses, and can be caused by excipients as well as vaccine proteins.
    • Type III hypersensitivity reactions, such as Arthus reactions, can cause local inflammation and swelling, and can occur after vaccination with tetanus and diphtheria toxoid.
    • Type IV hypersensitivity reactions, such as delayed cutaneous reactions, can occur after vaccination with BCG and mRNA vaccines.
    • Vaccine-associated enhanced disease (VAED) can occur due to antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), antibody-enhanced disease (AED), Th2-skewed responses, or components of vaccine formulations.
    • ADE occurs when antibodies increase the ability of a virus to infect cells, while AED occurs when antibodies exacerbate inflammation. Th2-skewed responses can be pathogenic for some infections, and components of vaccine formulations can mediate pathogenic cellular responses when encountered again as contaminants in the challenge material.
    • It is important to evaluate vaccine safety through rigorous testing and monitoring, as well as addressing vaccine criticism, hesitancy, and refusal.
    • Examples of vaccine-associated side effects include pustule formation and scarring with cowpox vaccine, lymphadenitis with BCG, vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) with OPV, intussusception with rotavirus vaccine, and meningitis with mumps vaccine.
    • Mechanisms of vaccine-associated enhanced disease include antibody-dependent enhancement, antibody-enhanced disease, Th2-skewed responses, and components of vaccine formulations.
    • Examples of vaccines associated with enhanced disease include the formol inactivated RSV vaccine and the dengue infection.
    • It is important to recognize and treat vaccine-induced adverse reactions, such as anaphylaxis, and to ensure appropriate vaccine preparation and administration to minimize the risk of vaccine-associated side effects.
