  • Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, Hib and Hepatitis B Vaccine for Babies and Children
    Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, Hib and Hepatitis B vaccine for babies and children This leaflet tells you about the DTaP/IPV/Hib/ HepB vaccine, also known as “6 in 1” as it protects against six diseases, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), polio, Haemophilus influenzae type b and hepatitis B (HepB) disease. What does the vaccine protect against? Diphtheria Diphtheria is a serious disease that usually begins with a sore throat and can quickly cause breathing problems. It can damage the heart and nervous system and, in severe cases, can kill. Before diphtheria vaccine was introduced in the UK, there were up to 70,000 cases of diphtheria and around 5,000 deaths a year. Diphtheria can be spread from person to person through close contact. Tetanus Tetanus is a disease affecting the nervous system which can cause muscle spasms and breathing problems and can kill. It is caused when germs found in soil and manure get into the body through wounds or burns. Tetanus cannot be passed from person to person. 2 Published June 2018 Pertussis (whooping cough) Whooping cough is a disease that can cause long bouts of coughing and choking, making it hard to breathe. It can last for up to 10 weeks and babies under one year of age are most at risk. The disease is very serious and can kill. Before the pertussis vaccine was introduced, the average number of cases reported each year in the UK was 120,000 and 92 children died in the year before the vaccine was introduced. Whooping cough is usually spread by coughs and sneezes.

  • Hepatitis B? HEPATITIS B Hepatitis B Is a Contagious Liver Disease That Results from Infection with the Hepatitis B Virus
    What is Hepatitis B? HEPATITIS B Hepatitis B is a contagious liver disease that results from infection with the Hepatitis B virus. When first infected, a person can develop Are you at risk? an “acute” infection, which can range in severity from a very mild illness with few or no symptoms to a serious condition requiring hospitalization. Acute Hepatitis B refers to the first 6 months after someone is exposed to the Hepatitis B virus. Some people are able to fight the infection and clear the virus. For others, the infection remains and leads to a “chronic,” or lifelong, illness. Chronic Hepatitis B refers to the illness that occurs when the Hepatitis B virus remains in a person’s body. Over time, the infection can cause serious health problems. How is Hepatitis B spread? Hepatitis B is usually spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with the Hepatitis B virus enter the body of someone who is not infected. This can happen through having sex with an infected partner; sharing needles, syringes, or other injection drug equipment; or from direct contact with the blood or open sores of an infected person. Hepatitis B can also be passed from an infected mother to her baby at birth. Who should be tested for Hepatitis B? Approximately 1.2 million people in the United States and 350 million people worldwide have Hepatitis B. Testing for Hepatitis B is recommended for certain groups of people, including: Most are unaware of their infection. ■ People born in Asia, Africa, and other regions with moderate or high rates Is Hepatitis B common? of Hepatitis B (see map) Yes.

  • Hepatitis B Vaccine – Frequently Asked Questions (Information from the CDC)
    AAMC Standardized Immunization Form 2020 Hepatitis B Vaccine – Frequently Asked Questions (Information from the CDC) 1. What are the hepatitis B vaccines licensed for use in the United States? Three single-antigen vaccines and two combination vaccines are currently licensed in the United States. Single-antigen hepatitis B vaccines: • ENGERIX-B® • RECOMBIVAX HB® • HEPLISAV-B™ Combination vaccines: • PEDIARIX®: Combined hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTaP), and inactivated poliovirus (IPV) vaccine. Cannot be administered before age 6 weeks or after age 7 years. • TWINRIX®: Combined Hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccine. Recommended for people aged ≥18 years who are at increased risk for both HAV and HBV infections. 2. What are the recommended schedules for hepatitis B vaccination? The vaccination schedule most often used for children and adults is three doses given at 0, 1, and 6 months. Alternate schedules have been approved for certain vaccines and/or populations. A new formulation, Heplisav-B (HepB-CpG), is approved to be given as two doses one month apart. 3. If there is an interruption between doses of hepatitis B vaccine, does the vaccine series need to be restarted? No. The series does not need to be restarted but the following should be considered: • If the vaccine series was interrupted after the first dose, the second dose should be administered as soon as possible. • The second and third doses should be separated by an interval of at least 8 weeks. • If only the third dose is delayed, it should be administered as soon as possible. 4. Is it harmful to administer an extra dose of hepatitis B vaccine or to repeat the entire vaccine series if documentation of the vaccination history is unavailable or the serology test is negative? No, administering extra doses of single-antigen hepatitis B vaccine is not harmful.

  • Vaccinations for Adults with Chronic Liver Disease Or Infection
    Vaccinations for Adults with Chronic Liver Disease or Infection This table shows which vaccinations you should have to protect your health if you have chronic hepatitis B or C infection or chronic liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis). Make sure you and your healthcare provider keep your vaccinations up to date. Vaccine Do you need it? Hepatitis A Yes! Your chronic liver disease or infection puts you at risk for serious complications if you get infected with the (HepA) hepatitis A virus. If you’ve never been vaccinated against hepatitis A, you need 2 doses of this vaccine, usually spaced 6–18 months apart. Hepatitis B Yes! If you already have chronic hepatitis B infection, you won’t need hepatitis B vaccine. However, if you have (HepB) hepatitis C or other causes of chronic liver disease, you do need hepatitis B vaccine. The vaccine is given in 2 or 3 doses, depending on the brand. Ask your healthcare provider if you need screening blood tests for hepatitis B. Hib (Haemophilus Maybe. Some adults with certain high-risk conditions, for example, lack of a functioning spleen, need vaccination influenzae type b) with Hib.

  • Transmission of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Human Immunodeficiency Viruses Through Unsafe Injections in the Developing World: Model-Based Regional Estimates A
    Transmission of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency viruses through unsafe injections in the developing world: model-based regional estimates A. Kane,1 J. Lloyd,2 M. Zaffran,3 L. Simonsen,4 & M. Kane5 Thousands of millions of injections are delivered every year in developing countries, many of them unsafe, and the transmission of certain bloodborne pathogens via this route is thought to be a major public health problem. In this article we report global and regional estimates of the number of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis Cvirus (HCV)and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections that may occur from unsafe injections in the developing world. The estimates were determined using quantitative data on unsafe injection practices, transmission efficiency and disease burden of HBV, HCV and HIV and the prevalence of injection use obtained from a review of the literature. A simple mass-action model was used consisting of a generalized linear equation with variables accounting for the prevalence of a pathogen in a population, susceptibility of a population, transmission efficiency of the pathogen, proportion of injections that are unsafe, and the number of injections received. The model was applied to world census data to generate conservative estimates of incidence of transmission of bloodborne pathogens that may be attributable to unsafe injections. The model suggests that approximately 8±16 million HBV, 2.3±4.7 million HCV and 80 000±160 000 HIV infections may result every year from unsafe injections. The estimated range for HBV infections is in accordance with several epidemiological studies that attributed at least 20% of all new HBV infections to unsafe injections in developing countries.
