Inoculations

Vaccine against plague

In Russia, more than 20,000 people living in the territories of natural foci of plague (Altai, Dagestan, Kalmykia, Tyva, etc.) are at high risk of being infected with plague. Vaccination against the plague should be given to these people, as well as to persons working with live cultures of the causative agent of the plague.

Hepatitis A vaccine

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

Inoculation from typhoid fever

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

Vaccination against tetanus

Infection with tetanus occurs with contamination of the wounds, which is favored by the presence of necrotic tissues, newborns are infected through the umbilical wound; The clinic reflects the action of the neurotoxin. The tetanus vaccination creates individual immunity and immunological memory, so in case of injury a booster dose of the vaccine is used in place of the tetanus antiserum horse serum.

Brucellosis vaccine

Brucellosis is a zoonotic infection of a person in contact with a sick animal or its secretions, as well as when using an infected non-pasteurized milk or dairy products. A vaccine against brucellosis is necessary for professional groups (persons over 18 years old).

Inoculation against tularemia

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

Rabies vaccine

Rabies remains a major health problem. In the world, about 50,000 people die from it every year, about 10 million people receive post-exposure prophylaxis. In Russia in 2004 there were 17 cases of rabies (including 6 children), in 2005 - 14 (4 children), in 2007 - 8 (there were no children); The vaccine against rabies is introduced 200-300 thousand persons per year.

Inoculation from measles, mumps and rubella

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

Hepatitis B vaccine

Vaccination against hepatitis B on the first day of life by 2005 was introduced in 80% of countries, including with low endemicity of HBV infection (USA, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Portugal).

Vaccination against diphtheria

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 case in children, morbidity 0.11). In 2006, 182 cases were identified (incidence of 0.13).
