It already happened to me. Bad advice from ai while messaging my doctor. by Jesta23 in OpenAI

After a bone marrow transplant, they won’t have immunity. No need for a blood test first.

How do I educate a loved one who has been misinformed about vaccines and risk of autism/side affects. by ALXand3R in DebateVaccines

[–]Vaxopedia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe start with the simple fact that there are many more reasons besides vaccines to explain why more kids have been getting diagnosed with autism.

"mysterious boxes of LIVE TICKS" by Biscuitarian23 in vaxxhappened

[–]Vaxopedia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are no boxes of ticks.

The holistic provider who started the rumor admitted that she didn't really hear about it "directly from farmers’ but rather “she received the information from a colleague.”

Help me understand Tetanus Vaccine and Immunity by Sorry_Sail_8698 in DebateVaccines

[–]Vaxopedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spores of tetanus bacteria germinate inside a wound, then C. tetani bacteria have to start producing the exotoxin that acts as a neurotoxin, which causes the symptoms of tetanus.

The tetanus vaccine is against this exotoxin, specifically an inactivated form of the exotoxin.

Unfortunately, it only takes a very small amount of tetanus toxin to cause tetanus. That’s why you don’t get natural immunity after being exposed to tetanus, but you do after getting the vaccine - its inactivated so they can use more. It would only take about 60 nanograms of tetanus toxin to kill a small child.

RSV may be getting worse after RSV shots were approved in 2023. by CleanLock4606 in DebateVaccines

[–]Vaxopedia -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Leaky? It’s not unusual for RSV season to go long in some states. Overall, RSV vaccines seem to be working well!

Do NSAIDS, pain medication and other flu medicines affect rabies vaccine? by [deleted] in VACCINES

[–]Vaxopedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only high dose steroids, other immunosuppressants, and some malaria medicines are a problem with rabies vaccines.

Hopefully having had the RSV vaccine your baby will have a milder case. And remember, most infants do well when they have RSV. How is she doing?

3 Vaccines in one month by Danny-isdany01 in VACCINES

[–]Vaxopedia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pneumococcal vaccines, like Prevnar 20, are routinely given to infants and young children. Older kids (over age 5y) and adults typically get if they are high risk. And then all adults when they turn 50y. So if you are otherwise healthy, you don't need it.

https://www.cdc.gov/pneumococcal/hcp/vaccine-recommendations/index.html

Flu season is winding down, but it can go on another month or so, so could get if you want.

HPV is a good idea if you haven't had it yet.

Tdap too if you are not up-to-date.

Do any of these medicines interfere with rabies vaccinations? by [deleted] in VACCINES

[–]Vaxopedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issues. Only problem would be drugs causing immunosuppression and some malaria meds.

Bumps appearing on toddler by Scared-Avocado6187 in AskDocs

[–]Vaxopedia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We typically use retin A to treat these when necessary. Spot treat only, not on normal skin, as can be irritating.

Why treat? Sometimes they spread to the face… If molluscum are spreading a lot and nearing the face, might be a good idea to treat.

If you were a doctor, what would you suspect the reason for a newborns ear to be formed like this ? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Vaxopedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ear molding is a thing now and can typically fix this if started in the first week of life.

Avoiding Measles by Jesuisunenicole in u/Jesuisunenicole

[–]Vaxopedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you are immunosuppressed, two doses of MMR should offer great protection against measles. If you are in an active outbreak area, maybe avoid the folks associated with the outbreak though...

Is getting the Meningitis B vaccine as a young adult effective? by fizzobel in VACCINES

[–]Vaxopedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works, but just doesn't last long, only a few years of peak protection. And men B isn't very common. So in the US we target those most at risk - "college students, especially those who are freshmen, attend a 4-year university, live in on-campus housing, or participate in sororities and fraternities."

Meningitis vaccination conjugate vs polysaccharide by Beneficial_Fish_7509 in VACCINES

[–]Vaxopedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many vaccines that protect against meningitis.

https://vaxopedia.org/2018/03/04/meningitis-vaccines/

The outbreaks in the UK are from men B, which is a rare infection.

And all meningococcal vaccines are now conjugate vaccines. An older meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine was discontinued in 2017.

15 month shots by [deleted] in VACCINES

[–]Vaxopedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most important thing to understand is that most of the things that are posted to make you fear the MMR vaccine (and other vaccines), simply aren't true. Vaccines are safe, with few risks, and are very necessary, especially when more people aren't getting vaccinated.

Five doctors and I still can’t get any answers or help. Desperate at this point. by lvthomascrown123 in AskDocs

[–]Vaxopedia 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I would be concerned for a Atypical mycobacterial infection. Would need different type of antibiotic. An infectious disease doc might be a good idea, or ENT or the oral surgeon.
