Q

Explanation of why immunisations are important?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Vaccinations help protect children from serious disease and also provide protection for society as a whole (herd immunity).
  • Programme is very safe, and almost all babies will have them
  • To protect your child from harm, and the community as a whole
  • Dramatically lowers the risk of them catching the illness which could be extremely harmful to them both in the short and long-term
  • By stopping the disease developing in your child, we also stop your child being able to spread the disease, so it can be considered a public health benefit too
  • The aim is to immunize enough people that we can stop the disease completely – this happened with smallpox in some countries
  • Check understanding
  • “Does everything I’ve said so far make sense?”
  • “Do you have any questions?”
19
Q

What to expect on vaccine day?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • The nurse will ask a few questions about how baby is – whether they have been unwell recently, started on any new medication, had any new diagnoses or any allergic reactions
  • This is to make sure it is suitable to give the vaccination
  • The vaccination will be given as an injection, usually in the thigh (can be given in the upper arm of children older than 1 year)
20
Q

What are the normal reactions in immunisations?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Normal for baby to be a bit upset by the injection and cry at the time
  • You may find they are a little more irritable for 48 hours afterwards, and may have a bit of a temperature
  • If this occurs there are a few things you can do to help – ensure baby keeps up their fluids, and you can give Calpol
  • In about 1 in 10 children, the place of injection can be a bit red and sore for a day or so – this again is relieved by Calpol, some reassurance and a cold compress may help
21
Q

More extreme reactions to immunisations?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • If there is a large swelling at the site of injection, or you notice any rashes or swelling elsewhere (especially around the lips and mouth) it is important to contact the doctor urgently
  • Very occasionally, a child may have an adverse reaction to the vaccine and may have a temperature that does not respond to Calpol or a seizure
  • If this happens contact the hospital
  • Complications of vaccines are very rare (less than 1 in 1000, and anaphylaxis in less than 1 in 500,000)
  • Complications of the diseases which we are vaccinating against are more common and often more serious, and that is why we feel it is for the best to immunize children
22
Q

Contraindications of vaccines?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Immunocompromised
  • Current pyrexia
  • Pregnancy
23
Q

MMR causes autism??

Study These Flashcards
A
  • There was a piece of research published a number of years ago, claiming a link between MMR and autism
  • Since its release it has been discredited – the research was on a very small group of individuals and the outcomes were biased by several factors
  • The research has since been withdrawn and the researchers have been struck off
  • Giving the MMR as one injection rather than 3 separate ones is shown to be just as safe, and arguably gives baby less pain to go through
24
Q

Summary to do in immunisations?

Study These Flashcards
A

o Just to summarise – with your consent, your child will have ….vaccination(s)
o The reason for vaccination is both to benefit baby and reduce any potential harm to them, as well as in the interest of public health and reduction of spread of disease.
o Vaccinations are safe, but may have some minor side-effects including a slight fever and some irritability; this can usually be managed with Calpol and some reassurance
o If baby has a more severe reaction or there is anything you are worried about, we advise you to contact a doctor straight away.”
