    This document discusses childhood immunization and vaccination schedules. It provides information on how vaccinations work by exposing the immune system to weakened or killed viruses and bacteria. The types of vaccines are described as attenuated live, killed inactivated, toxoid, and biosynthetic. The American and Egyptian vaccination schedules from 2010 are shown and compared. Non-obligatory vaccines in Egypt are listed. In conclusion, vaccination schedules should be tailored to each country's needs and research is still needed on issues like the relationship between mercury and autism and determining disease epidemiology in Egypt.

    Childhood

    Immunization
    Introduction
     Vaccination is a way
    to trigger your immune
    system in response to
    stimulus by an antigen
    and is characterized by
    the production of
    antibodies by the host
    so preventing serious,
    life-threatening
    diseases.
    How Vaccination work?
     They expose you to a very
    small, very safe amount of a
    virus or bacteria that has been
    weakened or killed. Your
    immune system then learns to
    recognize and attack the
    infection if you are exposed to
    it later in life. As a result, you
    will either not become ill or
    have a milder infection. This is
    a natural way to deal with
    infectious diseases
    Types of vaccines:

     Attenuated
    (weakened) live.
     Killed (inactivated)
    vaccines.
     Toxoid vaccines.
     Biosynthetic
    vaccines
    American vaccination schedule..2010
    Egyption vaccination schedule..2010
    Country Antigen Description Schedule Comments
    (or nutritional
    supplement)
    Egypt BCG Bacille Calmette- Birth;  
    Guérin vaccine
      DTwP Diphtheria and 2, 4, 6, 18 months;  
    tetanus toxoid with
    whole cell pertussis
    vaccine
      DTwPHep Diphtheria and 2, 4, 6 months;  
    tetanus toxoid with
    whole cell pertussis
    and HepB vaccine
      HepB Hepatitis B vaccine 2, 4, 6 months;  
      MenAC Meningococcal AC 3, 6, 12, 15 years;  
      MenACWY Meningococcal   
    ACWY
      MMR Measles mumps and 12, 18 months;

    months;

    diphtheria toxoid for
    older children / adults
      TT Tetanus toxoid   
      VitaminA Vitamin A 9, 18 months;  
    supplementation
    :Non Obligatory Vaccines in Egypt
     Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV).
     Hib vaccine.
     Hepatitis A Vaccine.
     Rotavirus Vaccine.
     Varicella (chickenpox).
     Infleunza vaccine(seasonal).
    : Our conclusion from previous is
     We shouldn't just follow other countries vaccination schedules as
    others' needs , conditions and economy are different. The more
    children in a community that are fully immunized, the more
    everyone is safe.
     We need more researching about relation between
    Mercury and Autism….and if it is confirmed ; what are
    other suitable vaccine preservations?
     In Egypt , we need more researching about
    epidemiology of some diseases and estimating their
    health impact .Many important diseases have poor
    documentation.
    And ...

    - Some vaccines should be


    obligatory in Egypt as Hib,
    Pneumococcal vaccine ,Influenza
    vaccine (seasonal).Others seems to
    be not suitable for us as chickenbox
    vaccine , Rota vaccine and Human
    papillomavirus vaccine
    Thank you
