-
- Each dose of OPV contains:
-
Type 1 106 TCID50
Type 3 105.5 TCID50
*Type 2 polio antigen has been withdrawl now. New name of oral polio vaccine is Bipolio.
- Because of poor antigenicity of OPV, multiple doses of OPV are needed for satisfactory seroconversion. Thermal lability requiring stringent cold chain maintenance and interference by enteroviruses in the gut for proper uptake of the oral vaccine.
- The mother need not be given any specific instructions after OPV, except that she
has to report for subsequent immunizations regularly - Ans. 2. 1. This baby has a 30% chance of getting the infection. If the mother is also HBeAg positive, the risk rises to 80–90%.
- I will give the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) preferably should also be given to the baby on the other thigh simultaneously.

onto develop complications like chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular
carcinoma.
- Ans. 3. 1. The system of transporting, distributing and storing vaccines under refrigeration using any convenient methods, from the manufacturer right up to the point of use is referred to as the cold chain

Ans. 6. 1. BCG
- Ans. 7. 1. DPT, hepatitis B vaccine
- Adjuvants increase effective particle size and immunogenicity of antigens resulting in antibody production that is many times higher than that evoked by unadjuvanted vaccines.
They also increase the stability of the vaccines.
They induce only humoral immunity and do not enhance the immune response to all antigens
They increase the cost of the vaccine and also adjuvanted vaccines cannot be frozen but are freeze dried
- Ans. 8. 1. Fading away of the scar over time; improper uptake of the BCG due to inadequate potency/improper technique
- Mantoux test should be done and if there is no reaction (≥5 mm) even after 12 weeks, then BCG should be repeated
-
- Yes BCG can be given along with OPV and DT
- The skin should be cleaned only with sterile water before BCG, as cleaning with spirit/other disinfectants may destroy vaccine bacillus and affect the immune response adversely.

for use in older children beyond 7 years of age instead of TT, so as to simultaneously boost immunity against both tetanus and diphtheria, DPT/DT should not be given to older children >7 years as it can cause severe reactions.

- MMR should be given to both sexes as both are vulnerable to measles, mumps as well as rubella.
-
- It is advisable to give MMR to adolescent girls if they have not received the same in their childhood in order to prevent the possible congenital rubella syndrome in the future offspring especially if the mother has no protective antibodies against rubella.

Proper Management
Designate one fully trained staff member to be the primary vaccine coordinator and at least one person to be backup. Ensure ongoing training for all immunization staff
Manage vaccine inventory
- Review your vaccine inventory on a monthly basis and with each vaccine order to avoid over-ordering.
- Check vaccine expiration dates.
Identity vaccine that will expire and determine if it should be transferred. - Rotate your vaccine supply by placing vaccines with the earliest expiration dates in front of other vaccines and always use them first.
- Call the MnVFC program if you have MnVFC vaccine that will expire within three months that you cannot use.
- If you have stock of both private and MnVFC vaccine, mark them clearly.
- Make sure you have enough space to store vaccine for the back-to-school rush and flu season.
Store vaccine correctly
- Place the thermometer's temperature probe in the center of the refrigerator or freezer with the vaccines.
- Use open trays, wire baskets, or other uncovered containers to help organize vaccines
- Clearly label each container with the vaccine type. Avoid storing look-alike, sound-alike vaccines next to each other (e.g., Tdap and DTaP, Hep A and Hep B).
- Keep vaccines in their original packaging.
- Store vaccines on the middle shelves and two to three inches from the walls of the combination refrigerator/freezer, not in the door or bins.
- Keep water bottles, jugs, or cold packs in the retrigerator and frozen packs or other ice-filled containers in the freezer. Mark water bottles "DO NOT DRINK."
Monitor temperatures
- Use thermometers that come with a certificate stating they have been calibrated according to national standards. Thermometers without this certificate are not acceptable.
- Check and record refrigerator and freezer temperatures twice a day, first thing in the morning and last thing at the close of business.
- Record temperature readings on a temperature log and post it in a visible location on or near the refrigerator or treazer
- Make sure to record the date, time, and name or initials of the individual checking the temperatures.
- Record the minimum and maximum temperatures each morning and reset, if needed, after recording them.
- Take immediate action on all out-of-range temperatures!
Take action on out-of-range temperatures
- . Determine the cause. If possible
- · Adjust the thermostat, if necessary.
- · Monitor the temperature.
If the temperature doesn't stabilize in the correct range within 30 minutes:
- . Stop using the vaccine.
- . Mark the vaccine "DO NOT USE."
- Move the vaccine to a refrigerator or freezer that's maintaining the correct temperature.
- For MnVFC vaccine, call the MnVFC program at 651-201-5522 to report out-of-range temperature incidents.
- Call the vaccine manufacturer and ask to speak to a medical consultant or quality assurance staff.
- Be ready to share the lot numbers, expiration dates, temperature logs, and the time the unit may have been out-of-range.
