Development of Immunocompetence

289
The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Immunological Memory01:23

Immunological Memory

541
Immunological memory, a pivotal pillar of the adaptive immune system, is responsible for the body's ability to remember and respond more swiftly and effectively to previously encountered pathogens. This remarkable feature is what makes vaccines so effective in preventing diseases.
What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...

Microorganisms in Medicine and Therapeutics

1
Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

909
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

340
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Immunology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Infectious diseases and their prevention significantly impact women's health across all life stages.
  • Prioritizing immunization for pregnant women is crucial for maternal-fetal health, especially in high-infection areas.
  • Brazil's National Immunization Program (PNI) offers comprehensive vaccination but faces coverage challenges, particularly for adolescents and pregnant women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the women's vaccination schedule, addressing current vaccines and upcoming innovations.
  • To support gynecologists/obstetricians with essential information for patient vaccination.
  • To collaborate with the National Immunization Program (PNI) in combating vaccine hesitancy.

Main Methods:

  • Compilation of discussions and findings from the First Febrasgo Scientific Immunization Forum (October 2023).
  • Review of existing and emerging vaccines relevant to women's health.
  • Focus on updating recommendations for vaccines in use and new innovative vaccines.

Main Results:

  • Vaccination coverage remains below optimal levels for adolescents and pregnant women in Brazil.
  • There is a need for updated information and strategies to improve vaccine uptake.
  • Febrasgo is committed to enhancing collaboration with the PNI to address vaccine hesitancy.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive approach to immunoprevention is vital throughout a woman's life.
  • Gynecologists/obstetricians play a key role in promoting vaccination and require updated knowledge.
  • The updated vaccination schedule aims to maximize protection for women and their offspring.
