Common reactions to the tetanus vaccine include - redness, swelling, soreness where the vaccine is given (arm). Soreness is body's natural response to a foreign invader. It is a sign that the immune system is responding by synthesizing antibodies and other immunity components that offer the protection from getting actual viral infection. Soreness typically lasts for one or two days after administration of vaccine.

If we were to measure the relaxation time of a muscle after undergoing tetanus compared to the relaxation time of the same muscle after undergoing a twitch, we would find that the relaxation time after tetanus is much longer. Provide a logical physiological reason why this is the case.

3. If you get the H1N1 Flu vaccine, not only are your chances of getting sick reduced, but you being healthy also benefits the people you interact with on a daily basis. a. Draw a graph showing the market for H1N1 flu shots. Assume that the marginal cost of each H1N1 flu shot is equal to the marginal social cost and that the demand curve is downward sloping (use Fig. 1 to help you get started). b. Will the marginal...
Please discuss why children are not getting the coronavirus compared to adults, and also discuss how soon you believe we will get a vaccine for the coronavirus?
To the best of your ability, explain why someone who received an influenza vaccine might still contract flu. IF
Suppose now we wou ld like to see if getting the vaccine has an impact on the likelihood of getting the flu. We took a random sample of 1200 Americans and recorded if they got the vaccine and then followed them through the flu season to see if they got the flu. Use the output below to help you answer the questions that follow Contingency table results Rows: vaccine Columns: flu Cell format Count (Expected count) (Contributions to Chi-Square) Total...
