General information about vaccinations

Autism - a complication after vaccination

In many developed countries still have a question about the connection between autism and vaccination does not leave the pages of the media, reducing the coverage of immunization and promoting the conservation of measles.

Vaccination with abnormalities in health

Progressive neurological pathology - decompensated hydrocephalus, neuromuscular dystrophies, degenerative diseases and CNS lesions with congenital metabolic defects - are contraindications to the use of DTP because of the risk of seizures, but can be considered in terms of vaccination with Infanrix or ADS vaccine when the process is stabilized.

Complications after vaccinations: how often do they occur?

Complications after vaccinations are interpreted by both specialists and a large number of people without special (and sometimes even medical) knowledge, so the frequency of more rare events can be reliably established only through post-licensing surveillance.

Vaccination of special groups of the population

The presence of contraindications, especially relative, as well as other abnormalities in the state of health, does not mean a complete withdrawal from vaccinations - it is about selecting a vaccine, the time of vaccination, the drug "cover". Pediatricians often use the terms "vaccination at risk", "sparing vaccination", which creates the illusion of the dangers of vaccines for such children.

What are vaccines and what are they?

For the specific prophylaxis of infectious diseases, vaccines are used which allow the formation of active immunity before their natural contact with the pathogen.

Legal Aspects of Vaccine Prophylaxis

The Law "On Immunoprophylaxis of Infectious Diseases" provides: free vaccination of the National Calendar and the Calendar for epidemiological indications, in the systems of state and municipal health.

Vaccine injection technique

Intradermal vaccination is carried out with 1.0 ml disposable tuberculin syringes and thin needles (No. 0415) with a short cut. The vaccine is injected on the border of the upper and middle third of the outer surface of the shoulder after pre-treatment of the skin with 70 ° alcohol. The needle is injected cut up into the surface layer of the skin parallel to its surface.

Organization of anti-tuberculosis vaccination

The head physician of the maternity hospital is responsible for the organization of vaccination against tuberculosis (department head). He allocates at least two nurses for training in the technique of introducing a vaccine, which should be carried out on the basis of one of the maternity hospitals under the supervision of an anti-tuberculosis dispensary

Selection of persons for vaccination

All persons to whom preventive vaccinations should be subjected are first subjected to a medical examination by a doctor (in rural areas - by a medical assistant).

Organization of inoculum and vaccination

Vaccinations are a mass event, even small deviations from the sanitary and hygienic requirements for their conduct are fraught with the development of complications.
