Postprevious reactions to the vaccine against polio and its complications and consequences

Many young parents do not know about vaccination against poliomyelitis, reaction to it and the consequences. Their torments many unanswered questions about the disease: how you can get? dangerous vaccination against polio and the consequences of it?

General information about the infection

Poliomyelitis – caused by several types of virus infectious disease. The main pathogens of gastrointestinal viruses that reside in the external environment.

They are resistant to freezing and are killed immediately with prolonged heating. Nowadays getting sick is difficult, but often the virus comes to us from countries where vaccination is not carried out. The risk of catching the disease increases:

• summer
• if hands are dirty;
• if you eat raw and unwashed products.

How the virus is transferred? This occurs in the following ways:

• airborne (talking, saliva, breath, nasal discharge);
• fecal-oral;
• absorption of food and dirty water.

Once in the body, it multiplies in the intestine. Then the blood carries it to all organs, primarily striking, as a rule, the nervous system. It is, as a result, leads to irreversible paralysis. If respiratory system is affected, the consequences are even worse.

The Main audience of patients – children under 5 years. The virus is very stable. Because of violation of terms and technique of vaccination, an epidemic occurs.

In the mid-twentieth century, the disease struck a lot of people. There was a large mortality, and those who survived, suffered complications, being incurable invalids. Today, the treatment gives good results, and to help him carry out preventive vaccination of children.

In the abandoned corners of the world still goes "wild virus" that could go into "civilization" through doctors, reporters, rescue workers. The source of infection in this case is always considered a sick person, and the disease is transmitted through water, food and various items.

Unvaccinated become ill, and the infection spreads very quickly. One of its severe complications – paralysis.

Periods of the disease

while the disease has symptoms similar to other diseases, and this complicates the correct diagnosis.
The first stage is incubation. Duration 10 – 12 days. During incubation period the symptoms appear.

The Second stage. Periods:

• preparationsto;
• paralysis
• rehabilitation
• the period of residual phenomena.

1. Preparationsto. The temperature rises, starts cold, cough and other signs of acute respiratory infections, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation. Can begin the first changes in the nervous system. By the end of this period the temperature drops.
2. Paralytic. The main symptom at this time – weak paralysis, most often in the legs. Basically they start in the morning. Extremities become pale and cold. In rare cases, the symptoms appear in the absence of facial expressions.

In milder forms all the symptoms disappear completely. Severe cases accompanied by complications that can lead to disability. But in today's world polio in severe forms occurs rarely, due to the fact that children are vaccinated in a timely manner.

Features vaccination

For vaccination using two drugs:

1. Oral live polio vaccine. Dripping into her mouth.
2. Inactivated polio vaccine that contains a killed virus. Administered in the form of injection.

These vaccines protect against first, second and third type of the disease.

Timetable according to which the shot:

• the first vaccination against the infection is done when the child turns three months;
• second inoculation is put in four and a half months;
• the third is to prevent live vaccines in six months;

And then the revaccination is carried out at 18, 20 months and 14 years.

vaccines are:

1. Pentaxim – vaccination against whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, polio and Haemophilus influenzae. An injection. The Manufacturer In France.
2. Tetraxis – prevention of pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, polio. The Manufacturer In France.
3. Infanrix Hexa whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, hepatitis b, invasive infection. Do in the form of injection. Belgium.
4. a Infanrix Penta – whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, hepatitis B. Belgium.
5. Priorix – inactivated vaccine. Belgium.

preparing for a vaccination and its consequences

Before the first vaccination should consult a neurologist and get tested. If the child has allergies, firsttalk to your doctor about what Allergy medications you will use. Buy something from the temperature of the baby it can be a reaction to vaccination.

do Not enter a new lure, you may receive Allergy. Before inoculation, measure the baby's temperature. If it is, in any case can not be vaccinated. Vaccination is carried out by injection or drops in the mouth. Usually drip two drops, but if the baby spit up, repeat procedure.

generally, the response to the oral live polio vaccine is missing. In rare cases, there may be side effects in the form of temperature. You have very young children it is very rare diarrhea that persists for one to two days. Such reactions are not considered a complication.

The OPV is retained in the gut of up to one month and during this time immune is practically the same as after an illness. The virus enters the body. Formed protective cells that recognize and destroy it.

Another important property of a live vaccine is that while it functions in the intestine, the body misses the wild virus. In regions where this infection of the newborn immediately vaccinated in the hospital with a live vaccine, and it protects the baby in the first month of life.

Then, when he turns two months, enter the first infectious dose and after vaccinated on schedule. Live vaccine against the disease stimulates the synthesis of interferon and therefore may protect against the flu.

The Only severe complication that can give the vaccination, – vaccine-associated poliomyelitis (VAP). The disease can often manifest itself when I first shot the baby, born with immune deficiency, gastrointestinal tract disease (congenital) or AIDS. In other cases, complications do not occur. Children who underwent VAP and should continue to receive vaccinations against this deadly disease, but is only inactivated polio vaccine.

Positive and negative sides

The Medication comes in doses. Babies up to eighteen months to produce a shot in one of the hips, a senior in the shoulder. After vaccination, five percent of the observed local reaction to an injection in the form of redness, but it is not considered a complication.

four percent of vaccinated observed minor side effects, such as raising the temperature, continuing for two days after vaccination. In response to the introduction of the virus in the body of the baby occur blood antibodies, is not able to synthesize cells that kills viruses with a known underlying causative agent.

This is a very big disadvantage of inactivated vaccines. From IPV no contraindications, and it even vaccinated children suffering from immunodeficiency. Sometimes complications on IPV can be allergic reactions.

Unvaccinated people who suffer from immunodeficiency, become infected and get sick from people already vaccinated.

Very dangerous, when people with AIDS are infected with this infection.

Healthy people quarantine after vaccination to observe is not necessary, you can walk with your baby as usual.

When the baby is inoculated against polio, the consequences should not be any danger to his health, if it is made correctly. She helps the weak child's body to fight with severe disease. It will always save the child from diseases, and parents from the fears brought by the infection.
