Vaccination - when to do?

Since January 2015, a new vaccination plan recognized by European experts has been introduced in Ukraine. Vaccination centers in Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine operate in private and state specialized medical institutions. On the website of our clinic https://dobrobut.com/ you can find information about the diseases against which vaccinations are aimed, and specialists who vaccinate children. The answer to the question of where to vaccinate a child is now not difficult.

Rules for appointing and carrying out vaccinations for children in Kyiv

Vaccination is prescribed exclusively by a doctor who must examine the child and take into account the data of blood and urine analysis. The specialist pays special attention to possible contraindications. Vaccination of children in Kyiv is based on the vaccination calendar.

Some (additional) vaccinations are recommended to be done outside the plan. Thus, with a complex epidemiological stress, children are prescribed chickenpox vaccination in Kyiv. When parents and children travel to warm countries, vaccinations against a number of exotic diseases may be recommended.

A mandatory point of correct vaccination is the use of vaccines according to the storage period and strict compliance with the conditions of storage and transportation of the material. The doctor who administers the vaccination is obliged to check the labeling of the package in order to prevent the introduction of inappropriate vaccine preparations. Children's vaccinations in Ukraine require special attention from doctors.

Calendar dates for scheduled vaccinations of children under one year of age

Vaccination is prescribed from the day of birth until maturity. The calendar of vaccinations for the first year of a child's life is especially busy.

Inoculation and vaccination of babies under one year:

1. On the day of birth, if there are no contraindications, the baby is vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine. The experience of using this vaccine in other countries has proven its effectiveness in preventing the disease. If the mother of the newborn is infected with hepatitis, the child is additionally injected with immunoglobulin. Further revaccination is carried out according to plan.
2. BCG vaccination in Ukraine begins on the third to fifth day of life. This rule is deviated from only in the case of the birth of a premature baby. Many parents are interested in where BCG vaccination can be done in Kyiv and whether it can be done at home. At home, the district doctor is obliged to monitor both the administration and the result of vaccination against tuberculosis.
3. After 30 days after birth, it is necessary to undergo revaccination against hepatitis B.
4. Two months is a particularly important period of a baby's life. At this time, he should receive the AKDP vaccination aimed at preventing the development of whooping cough (whooping cough), tetanus and diphtheria. The most common childhood vaccination is Infanrix, a highly effective Belgian toxoid. Also at this age, an inactivated polio vaccine and a combined monovaccine against hemophilic infection - a dangerous disease affecting the brain and lungs - are administered.
5. At 4 months, children are revaccinated with the same vaccine composition as at 2 months.
6. At the age of six months, babies are revaccinated again against tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio and hepatitis B.

In the first year of the baby's life (12 months), it is time to receive protection against measles, rubella and epidemic parotitis (mumps) - PDA, and the third revaccination against hemophilus infection is also done.

Vaccinations given by vaccination centers to children over one year of age

At one and a half years (18 months) comes the turn of the next revaccination with pertussis-diphtheria-tetanus toxoid (AKDP) and poliomyelitis vaccine.

Vaccination at the age of 6 – a complex of vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis and the second revaccination of the PDA, which aims to consolidate the preventive effect against measles, mumps and rubella.

The age of 7 years is a crucial period for the diagnosis and prevention of tuberculosis. He requires re-administration of the BCG vaccine. Detection of a dangerous and serious disease caused by the tubercle bacillus requires special responsibility of doctors and parents. Therefore, BCG vaccinations should be treated very carefully.

After a seven-year break, at the age of 14, teenagers are examined and vaccinated against poliomyelitis.

16 years old is the time to repeat the introduction of vaccines that prevent the development of tetanus and diphtheria. These vaccinations are recommended to be given at the age of 28 and later every ten years throughout life.

Such a plan of preventive measures, if all the rules are followed, allows you to protect children and adults from dangerous infectious diseases that lead to serious consequences, and sometimes even death.

Contraindications and features of appointment

The vaccination procedure can cause complications in the form of temperature, allergic and other reactions, therefore, vaccination of children in Ukraine must be done in medical institutions, where doctors can observe small patients during the administration of the vaccine and respond to changes in the child's condition immediately after the procedure.

Unfortunately, not all children can get to a hospital or clinic in the required time. In this case, you can call a doctor or nurse at your place of residence. The developed rules for conducting vaccination at home consist of special sanitary and hygienic requirements and features of documentation. It is important to maintain the necessary interval and not to violate the established deadlines between vaccinations.

The list of diseases, in the presence of which there are absolute or relative prohibitions for vaccination, is quite extensive. In each individual case, permission for vaccination must be given by a doctor.

Main contraindications to vaccinations for children in Kyiv:

• complications from previous vaccinations, which led to serious conditions and consequences;
• diseases with pronounced immunodeficiency;
• allergic diseases occurring with anaphylactic shock;
• acute stages of infections with high temperature;
• severe congenital and chronic pathologies.

In other cases, a medical exemption from vaccination is given after a medical consultation.

Remember - vaccination provides reliable immunity from a number of dangerous and even fatal diseases. Do not neglect it - get vaccinated according to age on time.
