Inoculations

Plague inoculation

In Russia, more than 20,000 people living in natural plague foci (Altai, Dagestan, Kalmykia, Tuva, etc.) are at high risk of contracting the plague. These people, as well as those working with live cultures of the plague pathogen, should be vaccinated against the plague.

Hepatitis A vaccination

Hepatitis A is an acute infectious disease caused by an RNA-containing virus that spreads through the fecal-oral route. In regions with low sanitary standards of living, the peak incidence falls on early childhood and preschool age; hepatitis A in children usually occurs in a mild form, becoming immune for life.

Typhoid vaccination

Typhoid fever is an intestinal infection endemic in many developing countries. In recent years, typhoid fever epidemics have been observed in a number of CIS countries and in Central Asia. According to WHO, more than 500,000 people die from typhoid fever every year worldwide. People aged 5-19 are most often ill, so typhoid vaccination should be given to schoolchildren in endemic areas. In Russia, 91 people (16 children) fell ill in 2007.

Tetanus inoculation

Tetanus infection occurs when wounds become contaminated, which is facilitated by the presence of necrotic tissue; newborns become infected through the umbilical wound; the clinical picture reflects the action of the neurotoxin. The tetanus vaccine creates individual immunity and immunological memory, so that in the event of injury a booster dose of the vaccine is used instead of equine antitetanus serum.

Brucellosis vaccine

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection of humans through contact with a sick animal or its excrements, as well as through consumption of infected unpasteurized milk or dairy products. A brucellosis vaccine is required for professional groups (people over 18 years of age).

Vaccination against tularemia

The causative agent of tularemia - Francesella tularensis - has been isolated from more than 100 species of mammals, birds and insects; people who have contact with animals are mainly infected, but infection is possible through the use of contaminated meat and water, through bites of ticks and other carriers. The live dry tularemia vaccine is a lyophilized culture of live tularemia microbes of vaccine strain 15 NIIEG.

Rabies vaccine

Rabies remains one of the most important public health problems. Around 50,000 people die from it every year worldwide, and around 10 million people receive post-exposure prophylaxis. In Russia, there were 17 cases of rabies in 2004 (including 6 children), 14 in 2005 (4 children), and 8 in 2007 (no children); The rabies vaccine is administered to 200,000-300,000 people per year.

Measles, mumps and rubella vaccination

Measles, mumps and rubella - these 3 infections have both similar epidemiology in many ways and vaccine characteristics that allow them to be combined, which justifies their joint presentation.

Hepatitis B vaccination

By 2005, vaccination against hepatitis B on the first day of life had been introduced in 80% of countries, including those with low endemicity of HBV infection (USA, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal).

Diphtheria vaccination

The goal of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe: "by 2010 or earlier to reduce the incidence of diphtheria to 0.1 or less per 100,000 population" in Russia was achieved in 2007, when only 94 cases were identified and the incidence was 0.07 per 100,000 (23 cases in children, incidence 0.11). In 2006, 182 cases were identified (incidence 0.13).
