16
Q

what are some common SE of immunisation?

A

transient like illness- fever, rash, muscle aches, headache

localised reaction- lump/swelling/pain

17
Q

what are some contraindications to vaccination?

A
  1. immunodeficiency- contraindication to live attenuated virus vaccines
  2. previous anaphylactic shock to immunisation
  3. current evolving neurological disease
  4. relative contraindication- don’t immunise a febrile acutely unwell child; wait until the fever passes first
18
Q

can a patient with an egg allergy safely receive immunisations?

A

generally yes unless they are anaphylactic to egg.
mild reactions like rash is fine.

If anaphylactic, may require vaccination with an immunology doctor or allergy specialist.

egg containing vaccines- influenza/yellow fever/Q fever

19
Q

how many doses are there of the HPV vaccine, and at what time points should they be administered?

A

3 doses

0 months, 2nd month, 6th month

20
Q

who should be given VZIG?

A

High-risk susceptible contacts where vaccination is not indicated, such as neonates, pregnancy and immunosuppressed persons, should be offered VZIG within 72 hours of exposure. If vaccination is not contraindicated, it should follow at least 5 months later.

21
Q

how might we manage an unimmunised pregnant woman who has been exposed to varicella?

A

Susceptible pregnant women who have been exposed during pregnancy should seek specialist obstetric advice. Susceptibility can be assessed by serological testing for varicella immunoglobin G (IgG). The woman may be offered VZIG and antivirals (famciclovir, valaciclovir or aciclovir), especially where delivery is imminent.

Where chickenpox develops in pregnancy, specialist medical review within 24 hours of rash onset is indicated to consider treatment options.

22
Q

which virus has been successfully eradicated globally by immunisation?

A

small pox

23
Q

why do we get an increasing incidence of pertussis even though we have a vaccine for it?

A

pertussis

the immunogenicity of the vaccine isn’t strong–> immunity wanes overtime

24
Q

why do we see a fluctuating course of cases of measles in australia despite robust immunisation schedule

A

people travel and may bring measles back with them

25
Q

how is polio spread?

A

faecal oral route

spreads to the anterior horn cells

26
Q

what might a white reflex (not red reflex) indicate in a newborn

A

congenital rubella (rubella acquired in-utero)

27
Q

what are some complications of congenital rubella

A 
intellectual disability
congenital cataracts
deafness
heart defects
small stature/ stunted growth
28
Q

what type of meningococcal vaccine are available in Aus?

A

Men-C is the most available

Men-B also available but super expensive

29
Q

how might we manage meningococcal infection?

A

ceftriaxone or benzylpenicillin

contact tracing

30
Q

why can’t we give the travel vaccination of meningococcocal to a young infant?

A

because they are not polysaccharide conjugate vaccines

infants cannot get immunity from capsulated organisms like HIB and N.meningitidis

31
Q

which vaccination doesn’t work from a herd immunity perspective?

A

tetanus

because you don’t get it from other people

32
Q

what percentage of the population need to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity

A

> 90%

33
Q

Describe what hypotonic hyporesponsive episode refers to?

A

generally seen in babies post receiving a vaccine, sort of like a vasovagal reaction

baby becomes floppy/unresponsive/may have convulsion

it is self limiting but baby may need to be monitored overnight

34
Q

what is a particular rare reaction for rotavirus vaccine?

A

intussusception

35
Q

a young patient comes in with a lump on their arm, post vaccination. what is it and what do you need to exclude?

A
  1. a lump can be a normal vaccination response

2. exclude abscess

36
Q

what are the live vaccines on the vaccination schedule?

A

MMR and VZV

37
Q

Sally is 12 months and due for immunisation. Her brother Tom (4yrs) was recently diagnosed with ALL and receiving chemotherapy?

A

Don’t give live vaccines to Tom but you should also withhold vaccinations as his immune system won’t mount a response to it.

Give Sally the live vaccines MMR/HIB/MenC. Household contacts of a patient with immunosuppression should get their live vaccines.

Wait for at least 6 months post chemo to vaccinate Tom
