Surely, everyone is familiar with such a concept as adsm vaccination or tetanus and defect vaccination. This is a vaccine against tetanus and diphtheria, which belongs to the category of toxoids.
Adsm vaccination and its components
A tetanus vaccine is a mixture of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, which are specially treated and able to excrete diphtheria and tetanus pathogens . The basis of the existence of a serious infectious disease is the reaction of the human body to toxins of the pathogen.
The category of toxoid refers to highly purified toxins that are not able to cause a reaction of general toxic value, but, nevertheless, they can cause an immunological reaction in the body.
Adsm vaccination: mechanism of action
Microbial toxins undergo a special treatment and turn into toxoids. In this process, they are completely deprived of toxic substances, but retain immunogenic. The result is the production of specific antibodies in the body immediately after vaccination with adsm. Moreover, the process is completely harmless. We can say that according to its effect on the body, the adsm vaccine has similarities with tetanus or diphtheria transferred in a mild form, while it is devoid of any threat to life.
Adsm vaccination: time to enter the body
Tetanus diphtheria toxoid is introduced into the body for revaccination in children over six years of age and adults. The national vaccination calendar indicates that in the first year of life, children need to be vaccinated with AKDS vaccine, which can protect the baby's body not only from diphtheria and tetanus, but also from whooping cough. If before the moment of vaccination, the child has already managed to get whooping cough, or he has contraindications for the management of AKDs, as well as the children of four and six years old who have not yet been given the diphtheria or tetanus vaccine, they are vaccinated with the vaccine ads.
Further, at the age of seven and fourteen, adults are given a vaccine every ten years. The adsm vaccine is administered when emergency immunization is necessary, that is, for people who were in contact with patients with diphtheria.
Adm vaccinations contraindications
You can not vaccinate people with intolerance to this drug and pregnant women. The introduction of a vaccine in acute colds is permissible only in case of contact with patients with diphtheria. If the disease is caused by another pathogen, vaccination should be carried out no earlier than two weeks after rehabilitation. If other chronic diseases are observed, adsm vaccination should be done at the stage of remission, that is, in the complete absence of any manifestations of the disease.
Complications after adsm vaccination
In the first two days, complications may occur after adsm inoculation. This is, first of all, an allergic reaction, pain and swelling in the area of vaccine administration, redness, malaise and fever. Isolated cases suggest the appearance of anaphylactic shock, as a response to vaccination.
Reducing the risk of side effects of adsm vaccinations
Before the adm vaccine is introduced, the doctor should perform an examination: measuring body temperature, examining the mucous membranes. If the child has a fever. You should immediately inform your doctor.
Within 45 minutes, you should not leave the clinic immediately after administering the vaccine, in case of allergic reactions.
If your child has just been vaccinated, walking with him is not recommended, you must go home. It is best not to bathe the baby immediately after vaccination. If complications arise after administering the vaccine, you should immediately contact your doctor. He will prescribe the necessary medications that will not affect your health.
