VTHT 2201 Canine and Feline Clinical Management - Canine Vaccinations Part 1

Vocabulary flashcards covering preventive health programs, active and passive immunity, vaccine classification types, canine pain assessment scales, and AAHA canine vaccination schedules.

Active Immunity

Immunity produced when a patient is deliberately exposed to an antigen from an infectious agent, eliciting antibody production by B-lymphocytes through environmental exposure or injection.

Passive Immunity

Immunity acquired from an external source, such as maternal antibodies passed through transplacental transmission or colostrum.

Booster Vaccine

A subsequent dose of a vaccine that elicits the production of a much higher number of antibodies, creating a high antibody titer.

Attenuated Vaccine

A modified live vaccine containing organisms that can replicate but are non-pathogenic, effective at inducing strong, long-duration immunity.

Inactivated Vaccine

A killed vaccine containing non-infectious whole pathogens, which typically induces a shorter duration of immunity and has a higher association with adverse reactions.

Adjuvant

A substance added to inactivated vaccines to stimulate a stronger immune response and potentially release the antigen over an extended period.

Toxoid Vaccine

A type of vaccine that induces immunity to a toxin produced by an organism, providing the shortest duration of immunity among all vaccine types.

AAHA Canine Vaccine Schedule

Vaccination guidelines recommending starting puppies at $6$ to $8$ weeks of age, administering boosters every $3$ to $4$ weeks until $16$ weeks of age, boosting $1$ year after initial rabies vaccine, and repeating boosters every $3$ years.

Core Vaccines

Essential vaccines recommended for all dogs, as opposed to non-core vaccines that are administered only as needed based on lifestyle risk.

Preventive Health Program

A comprehensive care regimen including vaccinations, parasite control, counseling (nutrition, environment, grooming, behavior), dental care, examinations, early disease diagnosis, and 5 vital assessments.

Colorado State University Canine Acute Pain Scale

A standardized clinical scale used to score canine acute pain from 0 to 4 based on psychological and behavioral signs, response to palpation, and body tension.

Colorado State University Feline Acute Pain Scale

A standardized clinical scale used to score feline acute pain from 0 to 4 based on psychological and behavioral signs, response to palpation, and body tension.

Rabvac 3

A killed virus rabies vaccine indicated for use in dogs, cats, and horses.

Nobivac Canine 1-DAPPv

A modified live virus combination vaccine that protects against Canine Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus.

Pediatric Vaccine Protection Progression

The increasing percentage of protected puppies across a series of vaccinations: 37\text{\null}\null at $6$ weeks, 79\text{\null}\null at $8$ weeks, 95\text{\null}\null at $12$ weeks, and 99\text{\null}\null at $16$ weeks.
