Abstract

From the development of each vaccine to its use in reducing disease, Plotkin’s Vaccines, 7th Edition, provides the expert information you need to provide optimal care to your patients. This award-winning text offers a complete understanding of each disease, as well as the latest knowledge of both existing vaccines and those currently in research and development. Described by Bill Gates as "an indispensable guide to the enhancement of the well-being of our world," Plotkin’s Vaccines is a must-have reference for current, authoritative information in this fast-moving field.

  • Includes complete information for each disease, including clinical characteristics, microbiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment, epidemiology, and public health and regulatory issues – plus complete information for each vaccine, including its stability, immunogenicity, efficacy, duration of immunity, adverse events, indications, contraindications, precautions, administration with other vaccines, and disease-control strategies.
  • Analyzes the cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness of different vaccine options.
  • Helps you clearly visualize concepts and objective data through an abundance of tables and figures.
  • Covers the new oral cholera and zoster vaccines, as well as newly licensed meningococcal group B vaccines and a newly licensed dengue vaccine.
  • Brings you up to date on successful human trials of Ebola vaccines, an enterovirus 71 vaccine licensed in China, and new recommendations and changes to polio vaccines.
  • Features a new chapter on maternal immunization.

3 Correlates of Protection 35
Principles of Protection 35
Principle 1: Protection Must Be Defined in Relation to Specific Phenomena 35
Principle 2: The Mechanism of Protection by Vaccination Is Not Necessarily the Same Mechanism as Recovery From Infection 35
Principle 3: A Large Challenge Dose Can Overcome Immunity 36
Principle 4: Most Current Vaccines Protect Through Antibodies 36
Principle 5: Correlates May Be Relative 36
Principle 6: Antibodies Must Be Functional 37
Principle 7: T-Cell Responses May Be Correlates 37
Principle 8: More Than One Factor May Protect as Cocorrelates 37
