ADSM inoculation - transcript

Vaccination is a serious and responsible business. Not only kids but adults are vaccinated throughout life from dangerous infections that once took the lives of thousands of people. Now, thanks to timely immunization, these diseases have practically disappeared, but nevertheless outbreaks occur, and therefore it is impossible to stop vaccinations.

The most common drug that all mummies heard about is the ADSM vaccine. Mostly it is in our polyclinics domestic, and the import is called Imovax DT. Adult.

Explanation of the ADS vaccination

The interpretation of the abbreviation ADSM is not familiar to everyone. Correctly spelled the name of the vaccine so - ADS-m, where the capital letters mean adsorbed diphtheria-tetanus, and a small "m" - a small dosage. That is, to put it mildly, this vaccine contains diphtheria and tetanus components, but in smaller quantities than similar vaccines with one of these components, for example, tetanus (tetanus) , or AD (diphtheria).

The ADMD vaccine, the interpretation of which is now familiar to us, is suitable for those who have had a negative reaction to the previous DPT vaccine, which included the anticonvulsant component. It is he who is responsible for serious complications in the post-vaccination period. This kind of vaccine is administered to babies up to the age of six.

Right now, whooping cough is deadly to the child's body. After 6 years, the probability of getting sick is reduced, and if infection occurs, the disease does not proceed in acute form.

Timing for the ADSM

In order to form a strong immunity from diphtheria and tetanus in children, they are given a primary inoculation and several revaccinations. As a rule, they are held at 3, 4.5 and 6 months. After this, in a year and a half, another procedure is made, fixing the result, after which the child is re-vaccinated at the age of six.

But the vaccine ADSM is introduced not only to babies. It is made for adolescents aged 14-16 years, after which the revaccination is performed clearly after a period of ten years (26, 36, 46, 56, etc.). It is believed that during these 10 years the human body is reliably protected, and by the end of this period the protective forces are dying out, which means that a second immunization is necessary.

But even if a person does not make a new inoculum after ten years, then if an outbreak occurs, he will bear it with much less losses than someone who has not been vaccinated even once. Older people also need to do this regular vaccination, because in elderly people immunity is weakened, which means that susceptibility to diseases and their course is much more acute.

Where is the inoculation?

In order for the vaccine to work properly, ADSM must be administered intramuscularly. The fact that a painful densification has formed is completely normal - the active substance is absorbed gradually and slowly, acting in the right way on the body. Swelling, swelling, tenderness and redness of the papule should not bother any adults or children - it will soon come to naught.

As a rule, they put an inoculation in the shoulder or under the shoulder blade to an adult, and a toddler with a lack of muscle mass in this area is made into the thigh muscle. A weak and pronounced reaction is possible for the administration of the vaccine. In the first case, the temperature rises to 37 ° C, and in the second, above 39 ° C. In this case, the antipyretic agent is recommended. The place of injection is not heated.
