90 percent. children vaccinated against measles

President of the Institute for Infection Prevention in Warsaw, Dr. Paul Grzesiowski said that Poland is still high wyszczepialność population against measles. Vaccine against this extremely dangerous disease received more than 90 percent. population of children and adolescents. As a result in 2011. Registered only 38 cases of measles in 2012. – 60 cases.

In other industrialized countries is much worse. In Europe and the US increased incidence of measles due to more frequent omissions vaccination against the disease.

In 2013. An increase in measles cases reported in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and Lithuania. More than a total of 9200 cases were registered in Georgia and Turkey, where some infections can be dragged to the countries of the European Union.

Polish free from polio

Prof. Eve Bernatowska immunology clinic Child Health Center in Warsaw points out that, thanks to good acting is still protective vaccination program Poland is a country free from polio. Since 1984. There has been a single case of the disease caused by this virus, which in the 50s. The cause many deaths and permanent disability – muscle paralysis of arms and legs.

The same is true with many other threatening infections. For 30 years it was in our country suffering from diphtheria, and for 29 years was not caused by neonatal tetanus – adds the expert.

Prof. Bernatowska admits that still exist in our country rubella among young men. Data from the National Institute of Public Health-National Institute of Hygiene in Warsaw that the first half of 2013. Registered more than 32 thousand. infections – almost ten times more than in the same period of 2012.

Rose still present

The disease should no longer exist in any country of the European Union – emphasizes expert. In Poland, however, is not related to the evasion of vaccination, but with incomplete vaccination program. Since 1988. Vaccinated against rubella only girl in the 13th year of life; these vaccinations were not boys. That is why there has been so. compensatory epidemic disease attacked mostly men aged 19-24 years of age and a little older than 25 to 28 years of age.

A small child after przechorowaniu infectious diseases such as whooping cough, or those caused by the so-called. encapsulated bacteria such as Haemophilus influeza or Streptococcus pneumoniae (diplococcus of pneumonia) and meningococcus should be vaccinated against the disease, which had suffered, and in the shortest time as possible – emphasizes the expert.
