Conducting preventive vaccinations

Vaccinations are a method of preventing infectious diseases with severe consequences. The vaccine causes a reaction that promotes the development of immunity against a particular disease.

Schedules of preventive vaccinations

Vaccination is routine or according to epidemiological indications. The latter is conducted in cases of outbreaks of dangerous diseases in a certain region. But most often people are faced with routine preventive vaccinations. They are carried out on a specific schedule.

Some vaccinations are mandatory for everyone. These include BCG, CCP, DTP. Others spend only those who have an increased risk of contracting a disease, for example, at work. It can be typhoid, plague.

The vaccination schedule is designed taking into account many factors. Experts have provided different schemes for the introduction of drugs, the possibility of combining them. The national calendar is valid throughout the country. It can be revised to take into account any new data.

In Russia, the national calendar includes all the necessary vaccinations for all ages.
