6. PCV: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine protect against pneumococcus
7. MCV4: Meningococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine
8. PPSV: Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vacine protect against
9. TIV: Trivalent Inactivated Influenza
10. HepB: Hepatitis B protect against Hepatitis B
Explanation / Answer
The MMR vaccine means – Measles, Mumps and Rubella (German Measles). Measles is caused by the Measles virus. Mumps is caused by Mumps virus and Rubella is caused by Rubella virus, it is a togavirus. All these viruses are enveloped and have a single strand RNA. The scientific name of Hib is Haemophilus influenza formerly called pfeiffer’s bacillus or Bacillus influenza. H.influenzae is a gram-ve, coccobacillary, facultative, anaerobic pathogenic bacterium. Rotavirus is a double-stranded RNA virus in the family Retroviridae Poliomyletis often caused by Polio virus in the family of Enterovirus DTaP – is the combined vaccine of against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis. Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Tetanus is caused by the clostridium bacteria Clostridium tetani and Pertussis is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis The scientific name of Pneumococcus is Streptococcus pneumoniae The scientific name of meningococcal disease causative agent is Neisseria meningitidis. The causative agent of PPSV is Streptococcus pneumoniae The vaccine was developed against Influenza virus, it is the latest version of vaccine The causative agent is Hepatitis B virus
