you are asked to research a case where the development of an effective vaccine against has proved difficult or impossible.
Please be sure to mention:
The pathogen targeted
The disease(s) implicated
If a vaccine has been developed or is being developed, what kind of vaccine is it (live attenuated, toxoid, etc.)? Does it contain an adjuvant? Are boosters required? Any safety issues?
Why the development of an effective vaccine has been difficult or impossible
For children two doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and five does of the diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine are given over a four-year period. Discuss why the DTaP vaccine requires so many doses.
Four patients were diagnosed with "Pyrexia/fever of unknown origin." Their serum samples were sent to the laboratory to be tested against Typhoid Ag. Draw and design the steps taken to conduct the quantitative agglutination test seen in the image below.
Provide your interpretation of the results. Note that paired sera was collected for patient 1,2 and 3. However, patient 4 was lost to follow up.

Select all that apply. Women who are nonimmune to rubella should receive the vaccine 2 to 4 weeks after delivery. Women should be advised to not get pregnant for 4 weeks after receiving the rubella vaccine. The rubella vaccine is a combination vaccine that also contains varicella, pertussis, and diphtheria. Rubella exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy can lead to teratogenic effects, which include significant and severe fetal abnormalities and deformities. The rubella vaccine should be given with the RhoGAM shot for Rh-negative patients at 28 weeks' gestation if they are nonimmune.arrow_forward
