Anthrax Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a bacterium that forms spores. A bacterium is a very small organism made up of one cell. Many bacteria can cause disease. A spore is a cell that is dormant (asleep) but may come to life with the right conditions. There
Antibiotics are used in vaccines to prevent bacterial contamination during the manufacturing process. Antibiotics commonly used are gentamycin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B, chlortetracycline, and amphotericin B. All of these antibiotics can stimulate allergic reactions. Afluria: Hypersensitivity to neomycin or polymyxins. Agriflu: Hypersensitivity to kanamycin or neomycin. FluMist: Hypersensitivity to gentamicin, gelatin, or arginine; children and adolescents 2 to
Opponents to vaccination argue that children’s immune systems can deal with most infections naturally, and that the possible side effects of vaccination, including seizures, paralysis, and death, are not worth the risk of safeguarding against non-life threatening illnesses. They contend that numerous studies prove that vaccines may trigger problems like autism,
Adjuvant Systems (AS) technologies was first developed by Glasko-Smith-Klein (GSK) in the late 1980s. These are combinations of classical adjuvants – aluminum, oil-in-water emulsions, liposomes, and immunomodulatory molecules. Four AS Systems Adjuvants have been developed so far. AS01 is composed of mono-phosphoryl lipid A, otherwise known as MPL, QS-21, and
Autoimmunity is the misdirected immune response that occurs when the immune system goes awry and attacks the body itself. Autoimmunity can cause a broad range of human illnesses, known collectively as autoimmune diseases. August 2020 – Covid-19 and autoimmunity “MFS is a rare, acquired disease that is considered to be a mild variant of Guillain-Barré
Avian contaminants are viruses from chickens and birds, and particles of egg proteins that are found in vaccines. September 30, 2019 – Clinical trials with GMO-containing vaccines in Europe: Status and regulatory framework “The possibility to genetically modify micro-organisms to bring immunogenic material (antigens/epitopes) to the human (or animal) immune system to provoke an
