The importance of vaccination
Vaccination is a simple, safe and effective way to protect against diseases before a person comes into contact with their pathogens. Thanks to her, infant and child mortality and lifelong disability have decreased. Vaccination activates the body's natural defense mechanisms to form resistance to a number of infectious diseases and makes our immune system stronger. Any vaccination is hundreds of times safer than the disease it protects against. Vaccinations are very important for both children and adults. This measure alone is the only means of preventing diseases that cannot be treated or are very difficult to treat (diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B virus, whooping cough). Vaccinations are very important for young children, because their body is very vulnerable to various infections. Vaccination is carried out in accordance with the National Vaccination Calendar of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Vaccination against mumps, rubella, whooping cough, and viral hepatitis B has allowed for a sporadic incidence of these infections. However, this should not be a reason for parents to refuse to immunize their children. As soon as the level of collective immunity decreases, i.e. the stratum of people with antibodies to this infection and necessary to stop the spread of infection, a "return" of infection is inevitable. There is a clear inverse relationship between the level of vaccination coverage and morbidity. The more vaccinated, the fewer people who get sick. Many parents regard vaccinations as something formal, imposed by medical professionals, often without understanding the health-improving nature of vaccine prevention, which leads to an increase in unjustified refusals of vaccination. Parents are interested in their child's health and this should be the basis for forming a positive attitude towards vaccination. Vaccination of children within calendar time limits prevents not only the development of the disease itself, but also the occurrence of severe complications. Preventive vaccinations are carried out free of charge. The well-being of children is the absence of the threat of vaccine-controlled infections and is achieved solely through preventive vaccinations.
