Vaccine-derived polioviruses: This is a very rare strain of poliovirus that is create by the mutation of the virus in the OPV. The OPV enters the intestine and multiplies. After it get absorbed into the bloodstream it activates the immune system. When the patient is excreting the virus it can change and be genetically altered. To get paralysed from this type of poliovirus is very rare. THe paralytic type of vaccine-associated poliomyelitis only occurs in 1 of 2.7million. If a community is not fully
The CDC, Center for Disease Control, says that polio used to be very common in the United States Before the polio vaccine and that it infected thousands of people each year with this severe illness. This outbreak stopped with the invention of the polio vaccine in 1955. In this essay we will discuss what polio is, how effected our world, and how the vaccine stopped the outbreak. Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a crippling and sometimes deadly infectious disease states the CDC. The disease can invade a

First, I would ask mom if she would like her son to receive 4 mentioned above vaccines (consent needed). If mom agreed to vaccination, I would verify if her son didn’t have any of the following symptoms after receiving last Dtap: a brain or nervous system disease within 7 days, non-stop crying for 3h or more, a seizure or collapse, and fever over 105F.

and virologist who developed the first safe and effective polio vaccine. Before this vaccine was created, polio vaccines usually contained live, weakened forms of the virus, but Salk developed a vaccine that contained an inactivated, dead form of polio, the first of its kind. Until the Salk vaccine was introduced on April 12, 1955, polio was considered the most frightening health problem in the United Sates. Just 3 years before the vaccine was released, almost 58,000 cases were reported, with 3,145
In the late 1950s, several groups of researches and scientists were developing some vaccines against polio. At that time, polio was still an epidemic worldwide disease. One of these vaccines, made by Dr. Hilary Koprowski MD (1916-2013) was used to test it on millions of people in Africa, after first being trailed in the USA. The vaccine virus was grown in tissue cultures taken from macaque monkeys before being introduced to millions of people , who were largely living in Burundi, Rwanda, and Congo
to find a cure. When one suffered from polio, they generally experienced painful symptoms which included not only fatigue and muscle weakness, but even death. Therefore, when the polio vaccine was introduced by scientist Jonas Salk in 1953, it greatly contributed to Americans in numerous positive ways. Environmentally, the vaccine saved countless young American lives affected by the disease thus decreasing American mortality rates. Socially, the polio vaccine convenienced families who were either
received. One such vaccination you must have is the polio vaccination The Polio virus is also known as the Poliomyelitis disease. Children are given the polio vaccination in 4 doses. At 2 months, you are given your first dose, then 4 months, and then between 6-16 months for the third dose. At 4-6 years old, you are given a booster shot. Some things to know about the polio virus are if you break down the words polio-myel-itis the prefix for polio means grey matter in the nervous system, the prefix
Misinformation about polio vaccine and political unrest has been cited as the main challenges holding back the global goal of achieving a polio-free world, a study has revealed. In a study published by theconversation.com last week, attack on the healthcare workers distributing the vaccine has is also a contributing factor. The report also quoted the recent campaign against the immunisation of children in the country by some churches as one of the challenges facing the global fight against polio. “Recently
get vaccines, and those should not be ignored. However, we need to increase America’s education of vaccines so they will not be as opposed because they are effective, and without the vaccinations, diseases will return and immunosuppressed patients may become infected. A multitude of people think we are not in need of vaccines since diseases are rare, or that vaccines never worked, saying that better hygiene and water sanitation deserve the
