Immunization against influenza is important for all child-care workers.
Protection against interest rate risk by holding assets and liabilities of equal durations
The process of obtaining resistance to a specific disease, typically delivered through a vaccination shot or capsule Using killed or weakened viruses, bacterial molecules or inactivated toxins, a vaccination will introduce harmless forms of the disease into the body Once immunized, the body then develops antibodies to fight the foreign substance
vaccination or other process that induces protection (immunity) against infection or disease caused by a microbe
Protection of susceptible individuals from communicable disease by administration of a living modified agent (as in yellow fever), a suspension of killed organism (as in whooping cough), or an inactivated toxin (as in tetanus) Temporary passive immunization can be produce by administration of antibody in the form of immune globulin in some conditions See also active immunization; passive immunization
a process by which a person is protected against the adverse effects of infection by a disease-causing microorganism
A process for designing fixed income portfolios to obtain a target rate of return over a specified time period, within a narrow range, despite market conditions
The process by which a person or animal becomes protected against a disease; the process of inducing immunity by administering an antigen (vaccine) to allow the immune system to prevent infection or illness when it subsequently encounters the infectious agent This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation
the process by which a person is protected against the adverse effects of infection by a disease-causing microorganism Active immunization (vaccination) involves inoculating a person with an antigen and relying on their body to mount an immune response Passive immunization involves giving a patient exogenous (manufactured or transferred from another individual) antibodies
Protection of susceptible individuals from communicable diseases by administration of a living modified agent, a suspension of killed organisms, or an inactivated toxin
the process of inducing immunity by administering a vaccine, thereby "teaching" the immune system to recognize certain antigen(s) and thus prevent infection or illness when it subsequently encounters the infectious agent
A method to produce immunity (protection from infection) using vaccines for a specific disease
Injection with a specific antigen to promote antibody formation, to create immunity to a disease, or to make a person less susceptible to a contagious disease
A bond portfolio strategy whose goal is to eliminate the portfolio's risk, in case of a general change in the rate of interest, through the use of duration
The construction of an asset and a liability match that benefits from offsetting changes in value
A process or procedure that increases an organism's reaction to antigens, thereby, improving its ability to resist or overcome infection
The process by which a person or animal becomes protected against a disease This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation
a process that increases an organisms reaction to antigen and therefore improves its ability to resist or overcome infection
