Need help with these questions
You can choose one or more than one option
Flu is a disease induced by the Influenza virus, we need to repeat every year the vaccination against the flu because:
the vaccine against the flu contains inactivated viruses that stimulate immunity for 6 months.
annual vaccination results in the production of IgA and not of other immunoglobulin
the flu virus presents antigenic variation in its capsid proteins.
the flu virus presents antigenic variation in its envelope proteins.
the flu vaccine is expired after six months
To put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines were developed against the virus and people eligible to receive these are encouraged to get vaccinated. How do these vaccines work? *
The vaccine will not cause the disease, but will help develop the body’s first line of defense.
The vaccine mimics the virus that causes the disease and triggers the creation of antibodies.
No answer
The presence of the virus in the vaccine will improve the innate immune response of the body.
The vaccine causes a mild infection that will trigger the production of antibodies against the virus.

- Viruses can easily mutate exchange genetic material, mechanisms referred to as antigenic drift and antigenic shift. These changes allow the virus to evade the immune system defenses.

- A few years ago, Ebola was all over the news and it looks like it may return. A treatment method developed during the last outbreak involved patients who have recovered and then donated plasma to patients fighting an active infection. It is a remarkable treatment, with potential ethical dilemmas. Now, many people are attempting to turn to convalescent plasma treatments in lieu of vaccinations. There are articles on both Ebola and COVID-10 convalescent plasma use. Read the articles below, feel free to do more research on your own on the topic. Using the information in the lesson, the articles, and your own research, answer the following questions: 1) What are the potential ethical issues for donors, recipients, and medical providers? 2) What rules and stipulations should be applied to it's use, given that there is a limited supply for use in treatment? 3) Would you use this treatment for yourself or a loved one?
