The rabies vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent rabies. [11] There are several rabies vaccines available that are both safe and effective. [ 11 ] Vaccinations must be administered prior to rabies virus exposure or within the latent period after exposure to prevent the disease. [ 12 ]
The human diploid cell rabies vaccine was started in 1967. Less expensive purified chicken embryo cell vaccine and purified vero cell rabies vaccine are now available. [69] A recombinant vaccine called V-RG has been used in Belgium, France, Germany, and the United States to prevent outbreaks of rabies in undomesticated animals. [77]
Mechanisms underlying the cause of reactogenicity symptoms. In clinical trials, reactogenicity is the capacity of a vaccine to produce common, "expected" adverse reactions, especially excessive immunological responses and associated signs and symptoms, including fever and sore arm at the injection site.
In rare cases immunizations can cause serious adverse effects, such as gelatin measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) causing anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. [13] Allegations particularly focus on disorders claimed to be caused by the MMR vaccine and thiomersal , a preservative used in vaccines routinely given to U.S. infants prior to 2001.
New RSV vaccines are now available to help prevent serious infection in people over 60. Doctors explain the RSV vaccine and its side effects in older adults.
Multiple vaccines. Hypersensitivity/allergic reaction: This can be an allergy to the virus or to the carriers, the "inactive" parts of the vaccine. Vaccine reactions are quite rare, but they do ...
A vaccine-associated sarcoma (VAS) or feline injection-site sarcoma (FISS) is a type of malignant tumor found in cats (and, often, dogs and ferrets) which has been linked to certain vaccines. VAS has become a concern for veterinarians and cat owners alike and has resulted in changes in recommended vaccine protocols.
Postvaccinal encephalitis (PVE) is a rare complication which was associated with vaccination with vaccinia virus during the worldwide smallpox eradication campaign. [1] With mortality ranging between 25 – 30% it is the most severe adverse event associated with this vaccination. The mechanism of how it happens is unknown. [2]
