Question 6

how can immunisation protect us from tetanus bacteria?

Accepted Answer

Antibodies to toxin: The tetanus bacteria actually set up an infection in the wound and begin to make the tetanus toxin that causes the main problem. By having the tetanus shot, you will develop blocking antibodies that attack and neutralize any toxin that might be produced. Since these antibodies do not last forever, you need occasional booster shots to keep protection up.

Question 7

can you tell me how immunisation protect us from tetanus bacteria?

Accepted Answer

Antibody protection: Active immunization stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies that protect you from the rep disease in this case tetanus spores in soil, if wounds get contaminated.
In effect the body's immune system reacts to the vaccine like the real disease and protects you for the future.

Question 10

is the hpv immunisation safe for girls aged 9? and would it be recommended for girls of this age?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The current (2018) Gardasil 9 helps develop protection against 7 strains of HPV associated with cervical cancer and 2 associated with genital warts. The vaccine is likely effective in any kid over 5 &amp; hopefully given before any sexual exposure to HPV. The target age of 9-26 was driven by the US FDA approval process. The OBGyns I worked with gave it to their kids around 7.
