Immunoprophylaxis of infectious diseases in children of Tatarstan

One-fourth of all annually reported infections are due to seven diseases that are controlled by immunoprophylaxis: diphtheria, polio, whooping cough, measles, epidemic parotitis, viral hepatitis B, and rubella. Analysis of the reasons for the sharp rise in the incidence of such diseases as diphtheria, pertussis, poliomyelitis, and measles among children in Tajikistan revealed significant omissions in vaccination work: a sharp decline in the level of coverage of young children (up to 50-60%), a large number of refusals and unjustified refusals to vaccinate, The "arbitrary" expansion of contraindications to vaccinations by specialists, the unsatisfactory level of work on immunization of children with health problems, those who are sick frequently and for long periods, those suffering from chronic diseases, and the wide use of preparations with reduced antigen content (ADS-m, DPT-m).
