QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS VERIFIED GRADED A++ 2025/2026
Terms in this set (117)
-MMR (measles, mumps, rubella vaccine)
-VAR (varicella [chickenpox] vaccine)
Attenuated Whole -Zoster (Zostavax shingles vaccine)
Agent Vaccines -LAIV (nasal Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine;
Flu Mist)
-RV (RotaTeq & Rotarix rotavirus oral vaccines)
-vaccine contains inactivated "dead" microbes
-incapable of infecting the host
PROS:
safe--no chance of infection from the vaccine
Inactivated Whole
Agent Vaccines
IPV (Injected Polio Vaccine)
IIV (Inactivated
Influenza
Vaccine) HepA

vaccine)
Vaccine that contains inactivated bacterial
toxins
PROS:
safe--no chance of disease from vaccine
Toxoids
CONS:
immunity to
toxoids is short-
lived boosters
required for life
DtaP, Tdap
(Tetanus
vaccine) DtaP,
Tdap (Diphtheria
vaccine)
Vaccine contains purified microbial antigens
2/39

PM
PROS:
safe--no chance of infection
Acellular or Subunit
Vaccine HepB (hepatitis vaccine)
DtaP, Tdap (pertussis/whooping cough vaccine)
HPV4, HPV2 (human
papillomavrius & cervical
cancer vaccines) PPSV23
(pneumococcal
polysaccharide vaccine)
Vaccine contains sugars purified from
bacterial surfaces combined with a
carrier molecule
PROS:
-safe--no chance of infection
Conjugated Vaccines -children < 18 months of age generally have a
poor immune response to sugars
-combining the sugars with a carrier molecule
induces a better immune response
Hib (Hemophilus
influenzae B conjugate
vaccine) PCV13
(Pneumococcal
3/39
, 7/20/25, 7:07
PM
conjugate vaccine)
MCV4 (Meningococcal conjugate vaccine)
-caused by poliovirus
-poliovirus is transmitted by food, water,
contaminated hands, and fomites via
the fecal-oral route
Polio -95-98% of polio cases are subclinical or cause
"flu-like" illness
- mild cases or subclinical carriers shed poliovirus
- difficult to trace outbreaks to their sources
-2-5% of polio cases involve the nervous system
and become paralytic
-can cause limb paralysis or respiratory paralysis
-under poor sanitary & hygienic
conditions, exposure to poliovirus
usually occurs during infancy, infants
develop mild infections due to partial
immunity acquired from their mothers,
and develop immunity
-before modern sanitation and hygienic,
paralytic polio was very rare
-Polio increased in frequency and
severity during the early 20th center
What is Polio? due to modern sanitation & hygiene
-exposure began to occur during
4/39
