| Summary: | The article is dedicated to prevention of controllable infections in infants. This is an urgent issue, as up to 40 mln. infectious diseases are registered in Russia every year; infections are particularly prevalent in children. Infectious pathologies may take up to 70% of all health conditions in children. Vaccination is the only effective method of preventing infectious diseases. The authors present international experience of using a pentavalent vaccine, which contains diphtherial and tetanus toxoids, acellular pertussis component, inactivated poliovirus and type b Haemophilus influenzae polysaccharide. This vaccine is included into immune prevention schedules for children of 0-1 (primary vaccination) and 1-2 (revaccination) years of age in many countries. The article presents results of major clinical studies, which confirm low reactogenicity and high effectiveness of the mentioned vaccine. |
