Additional Information for Plague Vaccine
Plague vaccine is a type of vaccine that is used to protect against the bacterial infection known as plague. Plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and is primarily transmitted through fleas that infest rodents. It can also be transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids or tissues of infected animals or humans.
The plague vaccine is classified under the supply class "Drugs And Biologicals" in the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." This classification indicates that the vaccine is considered a pharmaceutical product and falls under the category of medical supplies.
The vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies against Yersinia pestis, thereby providing immunity against the infection. It is typically administered through injection, either subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
Plague vaccine is primarily used in areas where the risk of plague outbreaks is high, such as certain regions in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. It is commonly used for individuals who are at increased risk of exposure to the bacterium, such as laboratory workers, healthcare professionals, and individuals traveling to plague-endemic areas.
It is important to note that the availability and use of plague vaccine may vary depending on the country and specific circumstances. It is recommended to consult with healthcare professionals or relevant authorities for more information on the availability and administration of the vaccine.
