Protection given by vaccination
What level of protection does vaccination give against diseases like Tuberculosis or Polio.
i.e. . will all people vaccinated against Polio or Tuberculosis be immune to the disease? 99%? 95? or what?
I realise that protection will depend on how recently the person has been vaccinated.
Answer:You still can catch mumps or rubella or measles after the vaccine only it wont be so intense as without it. It is been heard just a few cases of TB or Polio so i supose it is not 100% protection.
i`m sure it`s not 100%. there are other factors to consider, like the`cold chain` - were the vacines stored as prescribed?.
for polio, there are 5 doses recommended. so protection depends on level of adequacy of dose received.
Beginning with early vaccination in the nineteenth century, these policies led to resistance from a variety of groups, collectively called anti-vaccinationists, who objected on ethical, political, medical safety, religious, and other grounds. Common objections are that compulsory vaccination represents excessive government intervention in personal matters, or that the proposed vaccinations are not sufficiently safe. Many modern vaccination policies allow exemptions for people who have compromised immune systems, allergies to the components used in vaccinations or strongly-held objections.
In 1904 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil a government program of mandatory smallpox vaccination resulted in the so-called Vaccine Revolt, several days of rioting with considerable property damage and a number of deaths.
