Λοιμώξεις παρά τον εμβολιασμό/ που οφείλονται στον εμβολιασμό


Explanation:
Ανησυχία έχουν προκαλέσει οι περιπτώσεις ανεμευλογιάς που έχουν παρατηρηθεί σε υγιή παιδιά παρά τον εμβολιασμό (breakthrough infections) σε ποσοστά 10-15% και που οφείλονται σε διάφορους λόγους, όπως η κακή συντήρηση του εμβολίου, ο εμβολιασμός σε ηλικία <12 μηνών, η χορήγησή του σε χρονικό διάστημα <28 ημερών από το εμβόλιο MMR, η μη ανταπόκριση στο αρχικό εμβόλιο και άλλοι.

Definition:
An infection, caused by the shedding of live virus from a vaccine. These infections may be caused by exposure to the infectious agent before the vaccine has taken effect, or before all doses of the vaccine have been given. For example, getting the chicken pox virus can cause a person to shed chicken pox virus and infect someone around them. In a weakened immune system, a person can get ill from any live virus vaccine.

A breakthrough infection is an infection caused by the live virus in a vaccine or, simply, a vaccinated individual becoming sick with the same illness that the vaccine is meant to prevent. Often, the infection in the vaccinated individual is milder than if contracted naturally.

agree  maria ef: Συμφωνώ με το 'παρά τον εμβολιασμό', διαφωνώ όμως με το 'που οφείλονται στον εμβολιασμό'. Δεν προκαλεί το εμβόλιο την λοίμωξη.
