Vaccination I

Vaccination I (vaccinatio; French vaccination) is a method of forming active immunity to an infectious disease by introducing a vaccine into the body of an animal or human.

Types of vaccinations:

  • Aerosol (synonym: inhalation vaccination) - produced through the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract using an artificial aerosol of a killed or live vaccine;
  • Intradermal (intracutanea) - carried out by inoculation (administration) of the vaccine into the thickness of the skin;
  • Intranasal (intranasalis) - in which the vaccine is applied to the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity;
  • Conjunctival (conjunctivalis) - which is carried out by instillation (drip) of the vaccine into the conjunctival sac;
  • Cutaneous (supracutanea) - carried out by applying the vaccine directly to the skin with further scarification (limited superficial damage to the surface layers of the skin) with special instruments;
  • Oral (peroralis; lat. Per - through + os, oris - mouth; synonym: enteral vaccination) - carried out through the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract through the introduction of the vaccine through the mouth;
  • Subcutaneous (subcutanea) - which is produced by subcutaneous injection.
