Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

17. LATEX GLOVES
Definition:
The term "latex" refers to natural rubber latex.
It is the product manufactured from a milky fluid derived
from the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis.
Several types of synthetic rubber are also referred to as
"latex," but these do not release the proteins that cause
allergic reactions.
18. LATEX GLOVES: ADVANTAGES
Superior fit
High level of touch sensitivity
Can be worn for an extended
amount of time
Work well for high-risk situations
involving infectious material
Cost-effective
Lightly powdered
Very elastic and strong
Biodegradable
20. REACTIONS TO LATEX: LATEX ALLERGY
Who is at risk of developing
latex allergy?
Health care workers
Workers with less glove use.
(ex: housekeepers, hairdressers, and latex manufacture)
21. REACTIONS TO LATEX: LATEX ALLERGY
Immediate Hypersensitivity
A reaction to certain proteins in
latex rubber.
Amount that produces reaction:
Unknown.
Relationship between amount of
exposure and likelihood of
sensitivity: Directly proportional
22. REACTIONS TO LATEX: LATEX ALLERGY
SYMPTOMS:
Onset:
Usually immediate, but may be delayed.
Mild reactions:
skin redness, rash, hives, or itching.
23. REACTIONS TO LATEX: LATEX ALLERGY
More severe reactions: respiratory symptoms
(such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, scratchy
throat, and asthma (difficult breathing, coughing
spells, and wheezing).
Rarely, shock may occur;
however, a life-threatening reaction is seldom the
first sign of latex allergy.
24. REACTIONS TO LATEX: LATEX ALLERGY
Is skin contact the only type of latex exposure?
No. Latex proteins become fastened to the lubricant powder used
in some gloves.
When workers change gloves, the protein/powder particles
become airborne and can be inhaled.
25. REACTIONS TO LATEX: IRRITIANT
CONTACT DERMATITIS
Are there other types of reactions to
latex besides latex allergy?
Yes.
1) irritant contact dermatitis
(the development of dry, itchy, irritated
areas on the skin, usually the hands.)
Cause: wearing + powder
26. REACTIONS TO LATEX: ALLERGIC
CONTACT DERMATITIS
2) Allergic Contact Dermatitis:
Cause:
exposure to chemicals added to latex during
harvesting, processing, or manufacturing.
similar to those caused by poison ivy.
Symptoms:
rash 24 to 48 hours after contact
oozing skin blisters
27. LATEX ALLERGY PREVELANCE
Recent reports in the scientific literature indicate that from about 1% to 6% of
the general population and about 8% to 12% of regularly exposed health care
workers are sensitized to latex
[Kelly et al. 1996; Katelaris et al. 1996; Liss et al. 1997; Ownby
et al. 1996; Sussman and Beezhold 1995].
one study of exposed hospital workers found that 54% of those sensitized had
latex asthma, with an overall prevalence of latex asthma of 2.5%
[Vandenplas et al. 1995].
Prevalence rates up to 11% are reported for non-health care workers exposed to
latex at work
[van derWalle and Brunsveld 1995; Nasuruddin et al. 1993; Orfan et al.
1994; Tarle et al. 1990].
28. MANAGEMENT OF ADVERSE REACTION
TO LATEX
“PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE”
1 . Use non latex gloves.
2. Use powder free latex gloves.
3. When wearing latex gloves, do not use oil-based hand
creams or lotions ( glove deterioration)
29. MANAGEMENT OF ADVERSE REACTION
TO LATEX
PREVENTION (CONT.)
4. Frequently clean work areas contaminated with latex dust
5. Frequently change the ventilation filters and vacuum
bags.
6. Recognize the symptoms of latex allergy
7. If you develop symptoms of latex allergy, avoid direct
contact with latex.
30. MANAGEMENT OF ADVERSE REACTION
TO LATEX
Best way to prevent latex allergy?
avoidance!
Established latex allergy:
Medical ID Bracelet.
31. MANAGEMENT OF ADVERSE REACTION
TO LATEX
severe allergic reaction:
injectable epinephrine.
Anaphylactic shock, you may need:
- injection of adrenaline
- ER
- Oxygen
- Corticosteroids
less severe reactions:
- Antihistamines
32. SUMMARY
There are many types of gloves, each for a specific use.
Latex rubber is one of the most widely used materials in
manufacture of gloves.
The best method to prevent latex allergy is by avoiding latex
products.
