Adult Vaccines
Interview with dr. Juan Manuel Gomez. Institutional infectious diseases physician Funding Santa Fe de Bogota, who will talk about Vaccines in Adults.
1. It is generally believed that vaccines are for children in this sense, adults should be vaccinated and from what age?
Adults know and particularly doctors that adults need certain vaccines in particular some more than others will talk about that later, not only because we have lost some kind of defenses or immunity against many childhood vaccines, but also because we have a birthday put at risk of other diseases and particularly if you also suffer from some other disease because we are more susceptible to pneumonia or influenza-etc.
2. Against what should be vaccinated?
There are two vaccines that are put together that influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia is Streptococcus pneumonia, a bacterium, it is obviously an influenza virus, and it is worth mentioning that the flu is not flu, people have a bit that misconception, the flu is an ordinary cold and the flu is far more serious illness, you’ve heard of pandemic avian influenza virus are much more serious and these two diseases combined
pneumococcal and influenza are both capable not only cause pneumonia associated with viruses or bacteria, but complications in patients who are old over 60 years of age or chronic lung disease patients in fact there are a number of people who are at greater risk of complications for these two diseases mention the most important in smokers and lung chronically ill patient suffering from chronic cardiovascular disease, hypertension, coronary disease, the diabetic patient suffering from chronic kidney disease, cancer patients, or taking steroids, chemotherapy, etc.
Almost the majority of compatibilities, disease have patients at higher risk of complications that lead to intensive care to intubated respiratory intubation in intensive care for a simple flu patients also lack the body vessel, the vessel or a surgical trauma or issue are also at greater risk of these diseases, that’s a particular group is influenza and pneumococcus, and in fact children are also vaccinated today, there’s a particular pneumococcal vaccine for children and curiously as it also provides immunity or defenses flock to adults, immunized with the vaccine for children to drink in the first years of life,
particularly between the first two years that makes them less colonized or have fewer streptococci and to be less colonized infected unless your grandparents to your parents then there is a secondary protection for parents this is a relatively recent discovery of vital importance and the influenza vaccine in the same way there is for adults and children, about other vaccines such as tetanus vaccine should be given every 10 years for an adult or an adult and is close to 50, 60 and reinforcements has not been the ideal is to apply a couple of people booster dies of tetanus,
even in our countries is small, but it is a serious disease especially when women are involved in neonatal puerperal status in remote areas of the municipal give birth and then that they have complications from diseases such as tetanus in fact those people in the villages are given immune booster against tetanus in a few words that immunity is lost and we’re going to make memories of vaccination every 10 years and there are countless number of other vaccines, varicella is a benign disease that even of children, hepatitis A relatively benign disease in childhood, when the adult grows and has not had these diseases is applicable to vaccination exercise to avoid complications of a disease in adults and especially older adults call it cause serious complications encephalitis, pneumonitis, an important and widespread outbreak if the person is also a debilitating disease such as HIV, cancer, or taking cortisone, etc.
Then some other vaccines, also just out herpes vaccine bra post herpetic neuralgia causes important in older adults over time I can also apply this varicella vaccine not only against the same virus that is called herpessoster that causes the famous toad scourge so to speak, they say some, shingles is a viral disease that is acquired in childhood such as chickenpox and then initially expressed in the adult and elderly or chronically ill and secondly herpesosters vaccine of MMR which includes measles, mumps, rubella can not conceive now a young woman will conceive a child who becomes pregnant and has no adequate anticuepos as the risk of congenital rubella is important and not both rubella because the disease in the mother but the birth defects that can bring the fact of how are you suffering from an illness in the first trimester of pregnancy then there is a variety of shots depending on a patient’s age, the risk factors the patient has comorbidities as I said a pregnant woman must give them special care and HIV patients and a number of chronic diseases.
3. What are the risks and unintended effects of vaccines?
Vaccines are supremely safe there are two types of vaccines are called a replicating vaccines and other vaccines are not replicating, replicating vaccines are those made by Vius attenuated virus in some way or another, but agencies need to make a sort of check or do some type of immune recognition that the individual person to develop antibodies, which are bony viruses or bacteria that are capable of causing disease generally, in most cases but they are enough or have enough strength and enough components so to speak for the body to develop antibodies
the problem with live vaccines such as MMR, yellow fever, any and typhoid vaccines, or varicella vaccine if they are sometimes apply them to an adult who has a poor immune system by some factors mentioned above may cause the disease which is trying to prevent chickenpox then gives a small, has a flare that is uncontrollable, however, is a disease clinically as important as the disease itself but it brings complications or if a person taking steroids have to be very cautious about who can apply these vaccines or not, and there are clear contraindications, other non-replicating vaccines such as influenza vaccine, the vaccine against
strep pneumonia and against pneumonia, vaccines composed of toxins such as diphtheria and tetanus vaccines these are things which are viruses or bacteria say split or completely inactivated or pieces of these parts of bacteria that are completely unable for any reason to cause bone disease that to use a more technical word are immune and less immunogenic in complications that is why you have to give higher doses of these vaccines for the other side are not replicating vaccines can cause may not create the desired
antibody and have that problem but we must also attribute it really is safe when vaccinating the patient with the effects of most vaccines are relatively benign application site hours, relatively easy and simple fever of short duration and today if these vaccines are applied with caution and without contraindications should not be greater risk.
4. Contraindications:
The contraindications are as is as they say, if you have to put it in quotes and low defenses or immunity applies a terribly affected and therefore possibly a live vaccine can cause a problem to that person, now is not a simple fever contraindications smaller than the person is to have a beer at night, you are taking antibiotics, the majority of 99.9% excuses are excuses that have no meaning, they are also unaware of the true medical contraindications are suffering at this time a serious illness or disease is not known but the person is highly feverish as it simply is not a contraindication catorro who is taking antibiotics, have a beer at night and so on., etc.
What is nursing Mrs. contraindication and we must seize wing visit to the doctor for any reason to ask your doctor or refer you to someone suitable for him to tell the benefits of vaccination, especially when that person is a person who suffers from chronic problems health, hypertension, cardiovascular illness, which has been transplanted from one organ, taking cortisone, diabetics who have chronic pulmonary disease, which has no glass for one reason or another, the patient who has HIV, which takes chemotherapy, etc.
5. What is recommended once had a shot?
The only recommendation that one should ask the patient to see if you have a problem as described is to tell the minor side effects will not really be a greater problem, take a painkiller if you have a place at the site and obviously if the site where The vaccine has been applied in a disproportionate enrollment or local heat is obviously important for medical advice.
