16
Q

Adaptive immunity defenses

A

Antibodies locate antigens (non-self antibodies) and stimulate immune response to kill specific antigen

17
Q

Antibodies versus antigen receptors

A

Same protein, antigen receptors are on cell membrane of white blood cells and remain with cell that produced, antibodies are secreted and can circulate body

18
Q

What is a vaccine

A

Introduces antigens from a pathogen so body can get a primary immune response

19
Q

R- naught/r⁰

A

Average of how many people one sick person affects ex one sick person gets three others sick, r³

20
Q

Percent reduction of disease in vaccinated population when compared to unvaccinated population

A

Vaccine efficacy

21
Q

Risk formula

A

Infected people/total people

22
Q

Vaccine efficacy formula

A

Unvaccinated risk - vaccinated risk/unvaccinated risk

23
Q

Relationship between environment host and agent

A

Epidemiological triangle

24
Q

Infant immune systems can’t handle so many vaccines in a short period of time

A

Infants are exposed to many germs everyday, vaccines only take up small fraction of babies immune response

25
Infection rates are low so vaccines aren't needed
Community will disappear if too many people do this, everyone who is not vaccinated gives the disease more risk of spreading
26
Vaccines cause autism
No, Dr falsely linked MMR vaccine to autism, CDC says antigens in vaccines were the same between autistic and non autistic kids
27
Vaccines contain unsafe toxins
Do not contain toxic ingredients but have metals naturally found in bodies, only toxic if given a very large dose
28
Hygine and sanitation are responsible for infection
Hygiene and sanitation decrease spread of disease, vaccines stimulate the immune system while sanitation prevents spread of infection
