In this article, we will tell you what schedule is inoculated against poliomyelitis in Ukraine and Russia and which vaccines can be used.
Polio vaccination calendar for children in Ukraine
In Ukraine, kids will have to get acquainted with the vaccine, designed to protect them from this dangerous disease, as early as 2 months. At the same age, crumb will have to undergo an inoculation against tetanus, pertussis and diphtheria, as well as hemophilic infection. That's why most doctors prefer to use complex vaccines so as not to injure a small child once again.
Since the polio vaccine is live, one injection to create protective immunity will not be enough. The kid will have to undergo a whole course of preventive vaccinations - the second of them is done 2 months after the first, and the third - two months after the second. Thus, if the child is relatively healthy and does not have serious contraindications to vaccination, the doctor will give him 3 polio immunizations - at 2, 4 and 6 months. Finally, in order to consolidate the result and achieve really good protection, polio vaccination is also conducted at the age of one and a half, 6 and 14 years.

In Russia, the schedule for compulsory vaccination against poliomyelitis is somewhat different: the vaccine is also put 3 times, withstanding a time interval of at least 1.5 months, starting from 3 months of life of the baby. So, a healthy child receives a dose of a vaccine from this terrible illness at 3, 4,5 and 6 months. In turn, he will have to be revaccinated at 18 and 20 months, and then at 14. If the schedule of vaccinations is disrupted, it is necessary to observe the appropriate time intervals between receiving the vaccine.
