Study Notes
Vaccines
-
Meningococcal Vaccine (adolescent): Inactivated vaccine; stimulates immunity against Neisseria meningitidis; prevents meningitis and meningococcal disease; adverse reactions include pain at injection site, fever, headache, and fatigue. Immunosuppressants may reduce vaccine efficacy.
-
Meningococcal B Vaccine: Recombinant vaccine targets serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis; prevents meningococcal group B infection; adverse reactions include injection site reactions, fatigue, and fever. Efficacy may be reduced by immunosuppressants.
-
Pneumococcal Vaccine: Polysaccharide or conjugate vaccine; induces immunity against Streptococcus pneumoniae; prevents pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia; adverse reactions include local reactions and fever. Avoid use in immunocompromised patients; immunosuppressants may reduce efficacy.
-
Measles Vaccine: Live attenuated vaccine; provides immunity to measles virus; prevents measles; potential adverse reactions include fever, rash, and mild lymphadenopathy; avoid use in pregnancy, or severe immunodeficiency. Interactions with immune globulins are possible.
-
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Vaccine: Recombinant vaccine; prevents HPV infections and associated conditions like cervical cancer; prevents HPV-related cancers and genital warts; adverse reactions include injection site pain, headache, and fever. Hypersensitivity to vaccine components is a contraindication.
Varicella Vaccine
- Live attenuated vaccine; induces immunity against varicella-zoster virus; prevents chickenpox. Potential adverse effects include rash, fever, and injection site reactions. Pregnancy and severe immunodeficiency are contraindications. Avoid salicylates for 6 weeks after vaccination.
Zoster Vaccine
- Recombinant or live vaccine reduces the risk of herpes zoster (shingles); prevents shingles in older adults; potential adverse effects include injection site pain, fatigue, headache. Contraindicated for severe immunocompromised individuals (for live vaccine).
Rabies Vaccine
- Inactivated vaccine; prevents rabies infection by stimulating antibody production. Used for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis. Adverse reactions include pain, fever, and malaise. Hypersensitivity to vaccine components may be a contraindication; interactions with immune globulins are possible.
Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP/Tdap) Vaccine
- Inactivated bacterial toxoid vaccine; creates immunity against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis; routine childhood immunization; and booster for adults; adverse reactions include injection site reactions, fever, and irritability.
Rh Immune Globulin (RIG, IGIV)
- Immune globulin, prevents Rh sensitization in Rh-negative individuals; prevents hemolytic disease of the newborn; potential adverse reactions include local reactions, fever, and urticaria. Live vaccines may be less effective after administration; hypersensitivity to immunoglobulin is a contraindication.
Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine
- Inactivated bacterial toxoid; creates tetanus immunity; prevents tetanus; adverse reactions include injection site pain and fever; hypersensitivity to toxoid is a contraindication.
Antivenin (Antitoxin)
- Antitoxin; neutralizes venom from specific animal bites/stings; used to treat envenomation (e.g., snakebite, spider bite). Potential adverse reactions include hypersensitivity and serum sickness. Hypersensitivity to equine or ovine proteins should be considered a contraindication.
Medications
Filgrastim
- Colony-stimulating factor; stimulates neutrophil production; used in neutropenia during chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation.; potential adverse reactions include bone pain, fever, and injection site pain. Hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived proteins should be considered.
Folic Acid
- Vitamin; essential for DNA synthesis and red blood cell production; used for megaloblastic anemia and pregnancy supplementation; potential adverse reactions may be rare (rash or bronchospasm). Avoid use with known anticonvulsants due to reduced efficacy.
Leucovorin
- Folic acid derivative; protects cells from methotrexate toxicity; used in methotrexate rescue therapy and folate deficiency anemia; potential adverse reactions include allergic reactions and rash. Avoid use in patients with pernicious anemia.
Epoetin Alfa
- Erythropoiesis-stimulating agent; stimulates red blood cell production; used for anemia from chronic kidney disease or chemotherapy; potential adverse reactions include hypertension and thrombosis; uncontrolled hypertension is a contraindication.
Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)
- Vitamin; essential for DNA synthesis and red blood cell maturation; treats pernicious anemia and B12 deficiency;potential adverse reactions include injection site reactions, though rare; optic nerve atrophy is a potential, rare, adverse reaction. Avoid co-administration with chloramphenicol
