In one year one third of the world's population was killed. This is the deadliest flu epidemic in the modern world. One reason for this is that a vaccine had not been developed at the time so the entire world population was susceptible to the disease. Only after a vaccine was developed was the Spanish flu eradicated. This shows the power of vaccines. Today the Spanish flu has been eradicated and is not a currently relevant. Overall the number of those infected by disease is much greater in unvaccinated
Causes of influenza A change in the virus RNA can cause mutation of the influenza viruses thereby producing new strains. This constant changing causes the virus to evade the immune system even if you taken shots and other precautions. A person is susceptible to influenza virus throughout his or her lifetime. Even though you have taken proper protection your body the antibodies in your body will not recognize the new strains of virus and you will become sick. People are susceptible to novel flu viruses
can be prevented by the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella. The MMR vaccine is over 90 percent effective and works by infecting the body with a

The Adult Immunization Schedule recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) includes vaccine such as Hepatitis B, tetanus, and varicella. However, this only applies to certain at-risk adult population. Most adult immunization policies focuses on influenza
HISTORY OF DISEASES AND VACCINES 1. SMALLPOX Smallpox is a disease that was eradicated in 1780 worldwide. This disease was a deadly disease that was contagious, disfiguring and had drastic effects on humans for thousands of years. Smallpox is caused by an infection with the variola virus. Symptoms of smallpox generally appear 14 days after infection. When contracted with the smallpox virus the individual looks and feels healthy and normally will not pass on the disease to others. This duration
the bite of infected ticks. The virus is transmitted to people by bites of tick bugs or through contact with infected animals blood during or immediately after slaughter (WHO, January 2013). This disease is increasing day by day and only a single vaccine called Ribavirin is available and that is also not too effective so this disease need to be treated. Some birds are found to show resistance against this virus so if we design a similar antibody like that of the bird and inject it in mice so it will
RSV, a short term for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, is a contagious viral illness affecting the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract which causes inflammation as the bronchiolar mucosa swells and lumina fills with mucus and exudate (Perry et al., 2014). The bronchial passages dilate during inspiration, although they narrow on expiration which traps air and prevents it from leaving the lungs. The illness typically starts with an upper respiratory infection with an incubation of about a week. It
vaccinations have helped eliminate many infectious diseases in the U.S. including diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella and hemophilic influenza. However, there are still viruses which are deathly that still exist such as Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis and malaria. There has not been an adequately targeted vaccine, which is effective enough to completely
A set of policies are principles, rules, and guidelines formulated or adopted by an organization to reach its long-term goals and typically published in a booklet or other form that is widely accessible. Policies and procedures are designed to influence and determine all major decisions and actions, and all activities take place within the boundaries set by them. Procedures are the specific methods employed to express policies in action in day-to-day operations of the organization. Together, policies
