outline • Importance of vaccines and vaccinations • Basics of vaccination. • General principles • Routine vaccines in Jordan • Recently introduced vaccines world wide • Important vaccine information sources
Basics of vaccination • Active versus passive immunization • Live versus killed vaccines • Component vaccines, protein versus polysacharide • General rules about minimum age at vaccination • General rules about concommitent use of vaccines • General rules about vaccine interruption • General rules about different vaccine schedules
Principles of Vaccination Active Immunity = Antigen long duration, maybe lifelong Passive Immunity = Antibody limited public health impact, immune compromised hosts, limited duration
Types of vaccine antigens • Live attenuated organisms • Viral • Bacterial • Recently parasitic (Malaria) • Inactivated • Whole organisms • Viral • bacterial • Fractional • Protein • Polysaccharides • Conjugate polysacharide vaccines
Inactivated vaccines general principles Inactivated whole organism and fractional vaccines Safe in immune compromised hosts and pregnancy Protein, better antigens, TH2 response, effective before age two years Polysacharide vaccines, Not effective before 2 years of age, TH1 response In general inactivated by freezing Usually do not interfere with each other Need for booster doses to maintain immunity
Polysaccharide Vaccines: T-cell independent Not effective in children under 2 years and in the immunocompromised Result in a primarily IgM response Do not induce immunological memory and hence cannot be boosted Do not reduce mucosal carriage of pneumococcus1 Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines1: T-cell dependent Induce an effective immune response in infants Stimulate an initial response involving both IgM and IgG while subsequent doses stimulate a primarily IgG response Induce immunological memory and can be boosted Polysaccharide versus conjugate vaccines 1Eskola J. PIDJ 2000. 19 (4): 388-93.
Live vaccines general considerations Live vaccines can be frozen induce longer lasting immunity SHOULD NOT be given to immune compromised and to pregnant women maternal antibody may neutralize the vaccine and make it less effective in early life

Diphtheria Greek diphtheria (leather hide) Gram positive rod, a human pathogen that is transmitted by droplets, both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals may transmit infection There are four biotypes mitis, intermedius,belfanti, and gravis). All biotypes of C diphtheriae may beeither toxigenic or nontoxigenic. Diphtheria is caused by toxigenic strains of Corynebacteriumdiphtheriae.
Epidemiology of diphtheria • Only human pathogen • Can be carried in the nasopharynx • Bacteriophage induces toxin production • Transmitted by droplet • Vaccinated individuals can carry the organism but do not get sick
Diphtheria pathogenesis • Toxigenic strains expressan exotoxin that consists of an enzymatically active A domainand a binding B domain, which promotes the entry of A into thecell. • The toxin gene, tox, is carried by a family of relatedcorynebacteria bacteriophages. • The toxin inhibits protein synthesisin all cells, including myocardial, renal, and peripheral nervecells, resulting in myocarditis, acute tubular necrosis, anddelayed peripheral nerve conduction. Nontoxigenic strains ofC diphtheriae can cause sore throat and other invasive infections.
Diptheria clinical considerations • Usually sick looking and tonsils have a membrane which is grayish and difficult to remove • Membrane may involve more than the tonsils • Toxin production most important and initially may have difficulty in breathing • Arrhythmia with cardiac toxicity occurs in the second week • Most common cause of death is cardiac toxicity • Neurologic complications occur after three to four weeks • Antitoxin should be given before four days
Diphtheria vaccine, toxin only • Formalin-inactivated diphtheria toxin • Protein antigen • Must administer by deep IM • Do not freeze • Efficacy Approximately 95% • Duration Approximately 10 years • Amount of antigen higher in children • Should be administered with tetanus toxoid as DTP. DTaP, DT, Td, or Tdap
DTP, DTaP, DT, and Td Diphtheria 7-8 Lf units 2-2.5 Lf units Tetanus 5-12.5 Lf units 5 Lf units DTP,DTaP, DT Td, Tdap (adult) DTP, DTaP and pediatric DT used through age 6 years. Adult Td for persons 7 years and older. Tdap for persons 10-18 years (Boostrix) or 11-64 years (Adacel)
Diphtheria vaccine, schedule, same as Tetanus and pertussis • Three doses before the age of one year starting at the age of 2 months • Each to be given one to two months apart • Repeat booster dose at 18 months • Repeat booster dose at 4-6 years • Every ten years thereafter • Give only small d after the age of 6 years of life
Diphtheria and Tetanus ToxoidsAdverse Reactions and contraindications Reactions • Local reactions (erythema, induration) • Exaggerated local reactions (Arthus-type) • Fever and systemic symptoms not common Contraindications Severe allergic reaction to vaccine component or following a prior dose Moderate or severe acute illness
Tetanus • First described by Hippocrates • Cl tetani Anaerobic gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria, Spores found in the environment, soil, animal feces; may persist for months to years • Multiple toxins produced with growth of bacteria • Tetanospasmin estimated human lethal dose = 2.5 ng/kg • It is not contagious to others • Clostridium tetani is present in the environment
Pathogenesis of tetanus • Anaerobic conditions allow germination of spores but there is little inflammation at the site of infection • The vegetative formof C tetani produces a potent plasmid-encoded exotoxin (tetanospasmin) • This binds to gangliosides at the myoneural junction of skeletalmuscle and on neuronal membranes in the spinal cord, blockinginhibitory impulses to motor neurons. • This Leads to unopposed muscle contraction and spasm. The movements mimic seizures
Tetanus Clinical Features • Incubation period; 8 days (range, 3-21 days) • The shorter the incubation period the more severe is the disease • Three clinical forms: local (uncommon), cephalic (rare), generalized (most common) • Generalized tetanus: descending symptoms of trismus (lockjaw), difficulty swallowing, muscle rigidity, spasms • Spasms continue for 3-4 weeks; complete recovery may take months • In the newborn only generalized tetanus occurs • Maternal vaccination during pregnancy provides maternal antibodies that cross the placenta and help provide antitoxin antibodies to the new born infant
Tetanus Complications • The disease lasts for weeks • Must be treated with antitoxin and antibiotics but contractions continue • Laryngospasm Fractures Hypertension • Nosocomial infections • Pulmonary embolism, Aspiration pneumonia • In the newborn often times the infants become malnourished and wasted
Tetanus vaccine (Tetanus Toxoid) • Formalin-inactivated tetanus toxin , Protein antigen • Schedule Initially Three or four doses + booster Booster every 10 years • Efficacy Approximately 100% • Duration Approximately 10 years • Vaccine content same for children and adults • Preferable administered with diphtheria toxoid as DTP, DTaP, DT, Td, or Tdap
Clean, minor wounds All other wounds Vaccination History Unknown or <3 doses 3+ doses Td TIG Yes No No* No Td TIG Yes Yes No** No post exposure wound prophylaxisTetanus Wound Management * Yes, if >10 years since last dose ** Yes, if >5 years since last dose Dose of TIG is 250 units regardless of age and weight
Pertussis • Highly contagious respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis a fastidious gram negative bacterium, only humans • Outbreaks first described in 16th century • Bordetella pertussis isolated in 1906 • Estimated 285,000 deaths worldwide in 2001 • Recently increased in some parts • Transmission Respiratory droplets • Communicability Maximum in catarrhal stage Secondary attack rate up to 80%
Pertussis Pathogenesis • Attachment to cilia in respiratory tract leading to Local tissue damage in respiratory tract, Systemic disease may be toxin mediated, no bacteremia • Antigenic and biologically active components: • pertussis toxin (PT) • filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) • agglutinogens • adenylate cyclase • pertactin • tracheal cytotoxin • NO Bacteremia
Pertussis Clinical Features • Incubation period 7-10 days (range 4-21 days) • Catarrhal stage 1-2 weeks • Paroxysmalcough stage 1-6 weeks • Convalescence Weeks to months • Fever usually minimal throughout course of illness unless complicated by superinfection • In adults and older children Infection may be asymptomatic, or may present as classic pertussis, these serve as sources of infection to children

Pertussis vaccines • Both are inactivated vaccines • Whole cell (WC) or acellular pertussis (aP) • WC contraindicated after 6 years of age • Immunity decreases with time and hence re vaccination in older individuals is needed but with acellular smaller doses only • ONLY acellular P are allowed for use in adolescents and older individuals
Whole-Cell Pertussis Vaccine • Developed in mid-1930s and combined as DTP in mid-1940s • 70%-90% efficacy after 3 doses • Protection for 5-10 years • Fever 40% • Local reactions 35% • Seizures 1/1750 • HHE 1/1750 • Encephalopathy 1/110,000
Acellular Pertussis Vaccines • Local reactions (pain, redness, or swelling at the site of injection) • Local reactions more common following 4th and 5th doses • Reports of swelling of entire limb • Extensive swelling after 4th dose NOT a contraindication to 5th dose • Low-grade fever
