Rabies Vaccination Report

863 Words4 Pages

The topic of this report is the explanation of how the rabies vaccine works to fight against certain pathogens. This report will consist of a detailed description of the historical review of the vaccine, also explaining the summary of how the vaccination is prepared. The structure of the rabies virus is explained to understand how the vaccine will fight against the pathogens presented on an infected cell.
The rabies virus was discovered to be one of many human diseases founded by Girolamo Francastoro, a 16th century Italian physician. The structure of the rabies virus was a RNA virus that consisted of genomes that encoded five proteins (N, P, M, G, and L), also the arrangement of these proteins determined the structure of the rabies virus. …show more content…

(Bio-Louis 2015) The vaccine was developed in France during the late 1800s. Pasteur looked for the development of the vaccine because he wanted to explore a more difficult area of human diseases. The disease was a major ethical issue within the 1800s because of the not knowing which microorganisms were causing the rabies virus. The development of the vaccination was found through experimentation on monkeys primarily and then through rabbits, after both experimentation proved to be successful he introduced the vaccination towards canines and humans. The vaccination was founded by Pasteur through monkeys and rabbits after injecting them with an attenuated strain of the rabies virus. The vaccination was proven to be successful towards humans when a nine-year-old was bitten by a rabid canine, and was treated on July 6, 1885. (Heritage 2013) The procedure was performed through an injection in the arm. The vaccination that was injected was created through pasteurization of the rabies virus. The process of pasteurization is when the bacteria is heated to kill the infectious disease and then controlled once the bacteria is cooled. The controlled bacteria are then safe to inject towards humans and …show more content…

The website article by Medline explains that the “vaccination should be given to people or animals exposed to wildlife not in a controlled environment”. This was discussed because of the findings that the rabies virus is highly found within animals not vaccinated. The CDC explain that being vaccinated will help the humans’ immune system prepare to fight against the viral infection. The procedure explained by a health documentation explains three doses to patients not exposed to the virus. The first dose is given as a pre-exposure when a human is an infant around three months, second dose is given seven days after exposer to the first dose, and the third is given after twenty-one days. (Medline 2009) There is also a procedure given to patients that has already been exposed to and this requires an additional does of the vaccination. The reason for the fourth dose is because the first dose is given immediately after being diagnosed with rabies, but the first dose is combined with another injected called Rabies Immune Globulin. (Medline 2009) The rabies immune globulin (HRGI) is injected into the infected area. The dose will then infiltrate the around the wounded area. Once the infection is exposed and express by HRGI then the immune system reacts and MHC class I signals NK-cells within our innate system and this will then rid the body of the rabies virus over a course of seven

This allowed the vaccine to be cheap to research and have a low cost. Since it was cheap to research Albert Sabin was able to create an oral polio vaccine. The oral vaccine is now used to vaccinate people in developing countries. Around the 1950s there was a polio epidemic and the cheap cost made it available to everyone, and since 1979 there have been no reported cases of polio in the United States. It should be disclosed that at the time patenting a biological agent was unheard

This allowed for more experiments to be done which lead to the development of the polio vaccine. As stated by Neil Bhavsar, “the vaccine developed… was only possible because HeLa cells were able to survive in Vitro. The HeLa cells were easy to infect and study, and therefore provided the perfect subject” (Bhavsar). The vaccine itself was developed by a scientists of the name of Jonas Salk. The ability for the cells to be easily infected allowed for the continued development of the polio vaccine.

Polio: An American Story written by David Oshinsky highlights the journey to the discovery of a vaccine which would finally put an end to the once mysterious disease, Poliomyelitis. The journey begins in Otter Valley, Vermont, as it was the first Polio epidemic to be documented in the United States. Unknowingly, it would take years after the first epidemic in 1894 to find a solution for this frightening illness. The disease dates back to ancient time, with cases describing the victims to be left with disfigured limbs and some eventually to be paralyzed. Oshinsky identifies that the disease appeared in three phases: endemic, which occurs in a sporadically within a group of people, epidemic, in which it affected many people and spread rapidly,

Some Vaccines were ineffective, Bollet wrote “in civilian life, children were first vaccinated with material taken directly from a lesion on the udder of a cow or a calf infected with cowpox, which was caused by a virus similar enough to smallpox to confer immunity” though this proved effective army soldiers would vaccinate each other but because they did not sterilize and used antiseptic methods this method would often be fatal due to blood poisoning. However, the knowledge the physicians gain from this experience helps to shape how patients are vaccinated

This goal was met, and caused a large portion of children in the United States to receive Salk’s version of the polio vaccine. Although the vaccine was effective, it was not a permanent solution to polio. After several years, a booster would be required to keep people immune to polio. This caused Albert Siben to begin development on another type of polio vaccine that would allow for easier administration and get rid of the need for booster vaccines. This resulted in the creation of the OPV (The Oral Polio Vaccine).

Well, they couldn't, animals did not get smallpox, and there was no vaccination for animals. There are no documented cases of pets such as cats or dogs acquiring vaccina virus from humans vaccinated for smallpox using the vaccina virus vaccine. Some pets, however, may be suspectible to the vaccinia virus. And no, the smallpox vaccine does not contain the smallpox virus. For those of you who wondered, but don't be ashamed.

Also stated in the article from vaccines.gov, “ Vaccines are only given to children after a long and careful review by scientists, doctors, and healthcare professionals. Vaccines will involve some discomfort and may cause pain, redness, or tenderness at the site of injection but this is minimal compared to the pain, discomfort, and trauma of the diseases these vaccines prevent.” Before vaccines can even be given to hospitals they have to be examined by scientists and specialists to make sure they are safe for children. Also vaccines have to be passed through certain health department before they are able to be sent out to hospitals to have children receive them. There are many different organizations and departments that make sure children can receive vaccines.
