A health care provider who has not been vaccinated against hepatitis B is stuck by a contaminated needle after administering an immunization to a hepatitis B-positive patient. In addition to hepatitis B vaccine, the health care provider also should receive hepatitis B Immunoglobulin (HBIG) as postexposure prophylaxis because the HBIG provides: - ✔✔To provide passive immunity immediately (even if its short lived)
[Giving both the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) allows for active and passive immunity. Active immunity occurs when the antigen from the vaccine triggers the immune system to respond. The vaccine will provide long-term protection but it takes the body about two weeks to develop immunity. Passive immunity happens when antibodies are provided from another source, such as immunoglobulin. Passive immunity is short-live, but it provides protection right away.]

Arthus reactions, which are exaggerated local reactions that can occur if a patient is vaccinated too frequently, are most commonly reported after which vaccine? - ✔✔Td or Tdap
____________________________________________________________________________
[The most common adverse reactions associated with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids-containing vaccines are local injection-site reactions. These injection-site reactions are usually mild and self-limiting. However, Arthus reactions have been reported after administration of these vaccines. An Arthus reaction after vaccination with tetanus and diphtheria toxoids is not an allergic reaction and is not common. However, these reactions may occur if a patient is immunized with tetanus or diphtheria toxoids too frequently. Patients with a history of Arthus reactions after vaccination should not receive doses of Td or Tdap any more frequently than every 10 years. Arthus-type reactions have not been associated with other types of vaccines.]
