Vaccines Mimic the Real Disease
![Page 3: Lesson: Preventive Health Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56814dcd550346895dbb26ef/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Vaccinations
Types Killed – disease agent is dead (rabies), by heat or chemical
Advantages – do not replicateDisadvantage – requires more disease agent, increased risk of
allergic reactions Modified Live – takes agent and changes it to be mild
(attenuation – changing disease)Advantages – replicate once in body, less antigen is requiredDisadvantages – mild infection symptoms (fever), lethargic for
12-24 hours
Inappropriate or too frequent use of a vaccine can be harmful

Maternal AntibodiesColostrumTemporary (only 6-8 weeks)Don’t vaccinate under 6 weeks old because
clash with maternal antibodiesVery important to make sure mothers are up to
date with vaccinations
