Question 1

what are the symptoms of a reaction to ipv?

Accepted Answer

See below:: Most people have no side effects at all. Some people have soreness where the shot is given. Ipv is not known to cause any serious side effects. However, if a serious allergic reaction occurs, it happens within a few minutes to a few hours after the shot. Ipv cannot cause paralysis, as the vaccine virus has been inactivated.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: reaction to ipv?

Accepted Answer

Reaction to IPV: Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV)  reactions include:  redness, pain @ site, swelling, fever, joint or body pain,
drowsiness,  &amp; vomiting.

Question 3

does the td/ipv  hurt ?

Accepted Answer

A little: Are you referring to the combination dtap-ipv-hib that are usually given to infants at 2, 4, and 6 months?
All shots cause a little pain with the needle stick, and sometimes you feel a little more when the vaccine is injected. I use a distraction technique that reduces the sensation of pain with shots. Most infants still cry, but I have had a few who did not cry at all!

Question 4

how effective is ipv compared to opv?

Accepted Answer

Polio vaccine: If an adult is at increased risk of exposure and has never been vaccinated against polio, he or she should receive three doses of IPV, the first two doses given 1-2 months apart, and the third 6-12 months after the second.

Question 5

i'm trying to read my ipv report, anyone know what is calices?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Calyces are cup like recesses in your renal pelvis.  Calyces should be delicate and not blunted or distorted.

Question 6

why do only girls have the td/ipv vaccine?

Accepted Answer

Vaccinations: Not so. Boys and girls can receive these vaccinations. Depending on the child's age various combinations which include these particular vaccines are used during the scheduled vaccines for children.

Question 7

sir/madam, 
total how many doses of ipv and opv should my 2 month old son get?

Accepted Answer

1st dose at 2 month: Bases on current immunization schedule, polio vaccine is administered at 2, 4, 18 months of age and last booster dose before entering elementary school (4-6 years).  Opv has been replaced with ipv in us.

Question 8

how immune is my child who is 4 years old after taking four doses of ipv ? is it 100 percent ?

Accepted Answer

Almost but close!: 99% of individuals receiving polio vaccine are immune after just 3 doses. It is highly effective in producing immunity to poliovirus &amp; protection against paralytic poliomyelitis.

Question 9

is the td/ipv vaccine vegetarian compliant?

Accepted Answer

Td, IPV vaccines: There is a dtap/ipv combined vaccine but not td/ipv. The components of the dtap vaccine are derived from killed diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) bacteria and ipv, from killed polio virus. All are "vegetarian-compliant".

Question 10

can i drink the night before an intraveneous pyelogram (ipv)?

Accepted Answer

Best not to: Alcohol/ethanol tends to dehydrate the body. Ivp's use intravenous contrast ("dye") which may be harmful to a dehydrated kidney system. Same goes for any imaging study that requires the use of contrast. Hydrate your body with water/juice; save the alcohol for later.
