VACCINE DIALOGUE AIDC 2017
Idea is Not to discuss about each vaccine Discuss about when to use- clinical situations Allaying the fears
ADULT VACCINES
Question What are the current CDC recommendations on adult Immunisations?
CDC 2017
As per underlying medical conditions
Recommended adult vaccines Influenza Pneumococcal Tdap Hepatitis B Hepatitis A Meningococcal HPV MMR Varicella Zoster Indian scenario- typhoid, others- JE vaccine, cholera in endemic regions. Dengue and malaria vaccine- not yet.
Case 65 year old lady comes for preventive health check. She is a diabetic for the past 20 years. What vaccines should be administered to her?
Vaccines for diabetics Annual flu vaccine Pneumococcal Others: Hepatitis B
Influenza vaccine What is the type of vaccine that we use? When is the best time to give the influenza vaccine in India?
Types of vaccine Inactivated tri-valent or quadri-valent split virion vaccine Live-attenuated vaccine-nasal- not recommended in 2016-2017 flu season, as it was found less effective throughout 2013-2016
When to vaccinate
Influenza What are the current vaccine strains? Which one should we use?
Trivalent virus vaccines for use in the 2016 2017 Northern Hemisphere influenza season A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2)-like virus B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus WHO recommends that quadrivalent vaccines containing two influenza B viruses contain the above three viruses and a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus.
Trivalent virus vaccines for use in the 2017 Southern Hemisphere influenza season A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm 09-like virus A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2)-like virus B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus WHO recommended that quadrivalent vaccines containing two influenza B viruses should contain the above three viruses and a B/Phuket/3073/2013- like virus.
No special composition of flu vaccine for the tropics From an antigenic evolution perspective, there is no evidence to suggest the need for a 3rd recommendation for vaccine composition specifically for the tropics and subtropics, and the most recent WHO influenza virus vaccine recommendation should be used, independent of the hemisphere in which the country is situated.
Questions What are the other risk groups for influenza? Should we repeat the vaccine every year?
Other risk groups for Influenza Indicated for all ages beyond 6 months Prioritize- pregnant women, underlying co-morbidities, health care workers, extremes of age.

Why MR, why not MMR vaccine?
MR vaccine Vaccine effectiveness of measles and rubella vaccine Peak antibody response -6 to 8 weeks after infection or vaccination Immunity : persist for at least 20 years and is generally thought to be lifelong for most individuals.
MMR MMR Vaccine effectiveness (Jeryl Lynn strain)is about 78% for 1 dose and 88% for second dose Waning immunity with age Antigenic variation in the virus Outbreaks still occurred in US with > 95% coverage with 2 doses. Not a deadly disease
