S. Military and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook was commissioned by the Military Vaccine (MILVAX) Agency, a component of the Army Surgeon General's Office that supports all five Armed Services in optimizing the use of military immunizations to keep troops healthy. Its purpose is to help military leaders at all levels communicate effectively about what vaccines can and cannot do. 1. Vaccines Protect Troops From Infection * 2. Effectively Communicating About Military Vaccines * 3. Understanding Stakeholder Concerns * 4. Overcoming Communication Challenges * 5. Communicating Technical Information About Vaccines * 6. Responding To Difficult Questions * 7. Best Practices In Vaccine Communication * Conclusion * Appendices * A. Resources For Military Vaccine Information * B. Bibliography * C. Endnotes Why does it continue to be important for the Department of Defense (DoD) to implement military immunization programs? What are the infections that threaten our troops? Can adversaries inflict deadly infections with biological weapons? How would these bioweapons most likely be delivered? Are vaccines the best countermeasure for these threats? How safe and how effective are vaccines? What have we learned from the military's use of vaccines through the centuries? Why should I care about the success of the military's immunization programs? How do I benefit from vaccines? These questions and many more set the stage for communicating about immunizations. DoD's immunization program is an integral part of DoD's force protection program. One of the biggest challenges for the military immunization program involves maintaining a comprehensive communication effort to provide information to military personnel and their families. Further, this communication program must provide clear information about the specific threats, available vaccines, vaccine safety, medical protocols for administering vaccines, and the policies for managing and administering the program. Other challenges include the disagreements over biowarfare intelligence, reports of rare but serious reactions after immunizations, and the continuing legal challenges against the immunization programs. This handbook was developed with these and other challenges in mind. The handbook was commissioned by the Military Vaccine (MILVAX) Agency, a component of the Army Surgeon General's Office that supports all five Armed Services in optimizing the use of military immunizations to keep troops healthy. The purpose for "The Military Immunization Communication Handbook" is to help military leaders communicate effectively about what vaccines can and cannot do. The goal is to provide leaders at all levels-warriors, healthcare providers, medics and corpsmen, logisticians, public affairs officials, and others-with the information, tools, and skills they need to ensure that military service members understand the value of immunization and make good choices about vaccines. The information presented here is based on experience, historical perspective, academic and experiential research, clinical input, conclusions from America's top scientists, and best practices in communicating about tough topics.

Book excerpt: The Vaccine Handbook has a simple purpose- to draw together authoritative information about vaccines into a simple and concise resource that can be used in the office, clinic, and hospital.

For each vaccine, the authors discuss the disease and its epidemiology, the vaccine’s efficacy and safety, and the practical questions most frequently asked about the vaccine’s use. The authors also discuss problems such as allergies, breastfeeding, dosing intervals and missed vaccines, and immunocompromised individuals. This handbook is also available electronically for handheld computers. See Media listing for details.

Download or read book Adverse Effects of Vaccines written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 894 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1900, for every 1,000 babies born in the United States, 100 would die before their first birthday, often due to infectious diseases. Today, vaccines exist for many viral and bacterial diseases. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, passed in 1986, was intended to bolster vaccine research and development through the federal coordination of vaccine initiatives and to provide relief to vaccine manufacturers facing financial burdens. The legislation also intended to address concerns about the safety of vaccines by instituting a compensation program, setting up a passive surveillance system for vaccine adverse events, and by providing information to consumers. A key component of the legislation required the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to collaborate with the Institute of Medicine to assess concerns about the safety of vaccines and potential adverse events, especially in children. Adverse Effects of Vaccines reviews the epidemiological, clinical, and biological evidence regarding adverse health events associated with specific vaccines covered by the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP), including the varicella zoster vaccine, influenza vaccines, the hepatitis B vaccine, and the human papillomavirus vaccine, among others. For each possible adverse event, the report reviews peer-reviewed primary studies, summarizes their findings, and evaluates the epidemiological, clinical, and biological evidence. It finds that while no vaccine is 100 percent safe, very few adverse events are shown to be caused by vaccines. In addition, the evidence shows that vaccines do not cause several conditions. For example, the MMR vaccine is not associated with autism or childhood diabetes. Also, the DTaP vaccine is not associated with diabetes and the influenza vaccine given as a shot does not exacerbate asthma. Adverse Effects of Vaccines will be of special interest to the National Vaccine Program Office, the VICP, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccine safety researchers and manufacturers, parents, caregivers, and health professionals in the private and public sectors.
