Vaccination

Jemila Essa(Dr.)
Introduction
 Vaccination is undoubtedly the most cost-effective means of
preventing and controlling, and even eradicating, infectious
diseases
 Vaccines should be designed to prevent infection rather than to
prevent clinical signs of disease and should, wherever possible,
produce sterile immunity
 The use of veterinary vaccines has obvious benefits for animal
welfare. Vaccines, unlike therapeutic treatments, are the best way
of avoiding animal suffering since they prevent disease or avoid
the need for slaughtering as part of the implementation of
stamping out
 Vaccination presents no hazard to consumers of produce from
vaccinated animals
What is vaccines?
 Vaccines are an antigen preparations which are
administered for the purpose of inducing a specific and
active immunity against disease
 Vaccination: introduction of a vaccine in to the body

to produce immunity to a specific disease


 Achieving initial immunity may require more than one

injection. Once established, this can be boosted by


subsequent vaccination
 Immunity is the ability of the animal body to tolerate

the presence of material indigenous to the body


(“self”), and to eliminate foreign (“nonself”) material
Cont’d
 Active immunity is stimulation of the immune system to
produce antigen-specific humoral (antibody) and cellular
immunity. Unlike passive immunity, which is temporary,
active immunity usually lasts for long time
 Active immunity is produce by vaccination. Vaccines
interact with the immune system and often produce an
immune response similar to that produced by the natural
infection
 Passive immunity is the transfer of antibody produced by
one animal to another (from mother to progeny)
 Passive immunity provides protection against some
infections, but this protection is temporary
Types of vaccine
 Live vaccine- prepared either by using less virulent type or by
attenuating highly virulent strain of infectious agent
 It induces complete type of immune response, and confer
higher level and long period of protection
 Disadvantage of live vaccine may be able to induce mild
disease/ allergic reaction

 Killed vaccine- produced by inactivating the infectious agent


 Generally they require two doses with an appropriate interval
Cont’d
 Toxoid vaccine- prepared from toxins obtained from
microorganisms treated by heats or chemical agent e.g tetanus
vaccine

 Serovaccine- is a combination of antisera with a vaccine to


produce passive and active immunity e.g rabies

 Autogenous vaccine- prepared from cultures of material derived


from a disease lesion of the animal to be vaccinated e.g bovine
papiloma
Precaution and contraindication
 Sick animals shouldn’t be vaccinated
 Animals under immunosuppressive drug treatment

should not be vaccinated within three to four weeks


 Care should be take in the use of antibiotics when a

vaccine containing live bacteria is administrated


 Stressing of animals to be vaccinated should be avoided
 don’t vaccinate through dirty and wet skin area
 Liquid preparations should always be adequately

shaken before administration


 Injectable vaccines should be stored as recommended

by manufacturers
