Measles vaccinations. FAQ. Flu shot: when to get it and how long after you can get pregnant

You can learn about the current situation with measles incidence from the Rospotrebnadzor office. If you do not find information on the website of this organization, you should call the epidemiological surveillance department.

According to Federal service Rospotrebnadzor (Decision of the Board dated July 25, 2014 “On measures to prevent the spread of measles in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation”)

The structure of cases still predominates adult population- 52%, among which the largest number of diseases occur in age groups 20-29 and 30-39 years old (77.6%).

The incidence of measles is supported by a contingent of people who have not been vaccinated against measles and people with an unknown vaccination:

  • the share of children not vaccinated against measles accounts for about 82%
  • the share of unvaccinated adults is about 70% (of those sick)

The main reason for the lack of vaccinations in children is refusal to vaccinate (about 40%). About 29% of sick children (children under one year old) were not vaccinated, and about 14% of children were not vaccinated due to medical exemptions. The remaining children were not vaccinated for unknown reasons.

Among the reasons for non-vaccination among sick adults, refusals account for 27% and about 70% did not receive vaccinations for unknown reasons.

This indicates existing shortcomings in the organization of planned vaccination work among the population.

In 2014, group diseases continue to be recorded in medical institutions with nosocomial spread. At the same time, children, adults, and medical workers were involved in the epidemiological process. The largest number of cases was registered in Moscow, in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, in Krasnodar region, in the Moscow region, in the republics of Dagestan, Adygea, Stavropol region, Astrakhan region, in the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.

Among the reasons for group morbidity in medical organizations remain: late illness, late start of preventive and anti-epidemic measures in outbreaks, lack of vaccinations among medical workers.

Also a feature of the current period is the registration of measles among the migrating unvaccinated Roma population, as well as among members of religious communities and other hard-to-reach population groups

When did they start using anti-measles vaccines in the Russian Federation (USSR)?

Is it possible to get vaccinated against measles and chickenpox at the same time?

Can. Moreover, in many countries around the world the vaccine against chickenpox included in the preparation containing vaccines against measles, mumps and. But in the Russian Federation similar drug not registered.

How long after measles vaccination can other vaccinations be administered?

IN in this case, the timing of administration of other vaccines is regulated by the instructions for the measles (rubella, mumps) vaccine preparation. The instructions for some drugs indicate an interval of 1 month, in other cases there is no such indication.

International recommendations (“”) say that the interval between live vaccines should be at least 4 weeks. If an inactivated vaccine is administered after a live vaccine, then the time interval between such vaccines does not matter.

The measles (rubella, mumps) vaccine is a live, attenuated vaccine. Those. if after vaccination against measles it is necessary to administer another one live vaccine, then the interval should be at least 4 weeks. If introduction is expected inactivated vaccine, then any interval is acceptable.

How long after the Mantoux test can you get vaccinated against measles? How long after measles vaccination can the Mantoux test be performed?

Important: In the instructions for some vaccines it is indicated as a contraindication to vaccination. You should choose those vaccines whose instructions do not contain such prohibitions.

Is a vaccinated adult or child dangerous to others? Can you get measles from it?

No, it is impossible to become infected from a vaccinated person, regardless of whether the people around him are vaccinated or not. It is also safe if the post-vaccination period is accompanied by a rash or other manifestations.

The first vaccination was carried out with a domestic vaccine. Is it possible to carry out a second vaccination with a foreign drug?

Yes, you can. Measles vaccines are completely interchangeable.

The child is already one year old, but not all vaccinations according to the calendar have been completed (for example, DPT has not been given). What should I do? There is an opinion that you need to complete all vaccinations and only then get vaccinated against measles.

There are no documents that would prohibit vaccination against measles before all other vaccines (except BCG). A child should be vaccinated against measles upon reaching 1 year of age, especially if this is dictated by epidemic indications.

Is it possible to bathe a child after vaccination? Is it possible to walk with him?

After vaccination, you can bathe the child and walk with him. Information about such prohibitions is nothing more than a widespread myth.

Can I drink alcohol after vaccination?

No negative connection between alcohol and vaccination has been established.

Why is a second dose of measles vaccine necessary?

Up to 5% of vaccinated people do not develop immunity to the first dose. The second dose increases the development of stable post-vaccination immunity.

Why is it necessary to vaccinate at one year of age?

Up to a year, the child is protected by antibodies received from a mother who has been ill or vaccinated. TO one year old The protective effect of these antibodies ends, so the minimum age for vaccination is set at 1 year.

If the child’s mother is confirmed to have no antibodies (for example, if the mother has not been sick and has not been vaccinated), then the minimum period for administering the vaccine is regulated by the instructions for the vaccine. Some drugs have a minimum age of 8 months.

The second dose of the vaccine is administered before the start of the school period and increases the child’s chances of receiving post-vaccination immunity.

What to do if for some reason your child is vaccinated not at 1 year of age, but later. Should the 5 year interval be observed?

If the child is vaccinated after 12 one month old, then the next vaccine is administered at 6 years of age. It is important not to give the second dose of the vaccine before the age of six.

We have a staggered vaccination schedule, what should be the interval between vaccinations? What should be the interval between vaccinations in adults?

The instructions for the drugs indicate an interval of 6 months. According to the national calendar preventive vaccinations the second dose is administered no earlier than three months later.

I was vaccinated against measles twice, following all intervals and recommendations. But laboratory tests did not reveal immunity from measles. What to do?

The Sanitary and Epidemiological Rules SP 3.1.2952-11 “Prevention of measles, rubella and mumps” states that

“clause 7.3. In order to assess the state of population immunity to measles, rubella and mumps in in the prescribed manner Research is being conducted on the intensity of immunity in vaccinated individuals. Persons identified by the results of serological monitoring who are not immune to measles or rubella or mumps are subject to immunization.”

What to do if you come into contact with someone with measles?

This situation is regulated by the Sanitary and Epidemiological Rules SP 3.1.2952-11 “Prevention of measles, rubella and mumps”

5.10. Immunization against measles according to epidemic indications is subject to persons who have had contact with a patient (if the disease is suspected), who have not had measles before, who have not been vaccinated, who do not have information about vaccinations against measles, as well as persons who have been vaccinated against measles once - without age restrictions.

Immunization against measles according to epidemic indications is carried out within the first 72 hours from the moment the patient is identified. When the boundaries of the measles outbreak expand (at the place of work, school, within the region, settlement) the immunization period can be extended up to 7 days from the moment the first patient is identified in the outbreak.

5.12. Children who have not been vaccinated against measles or mumps (under vaccination age or who have not received vaccinations due to medical contraindications or refusal of vaccinations), no later than the 5th day from the moment of contact with the patient, normal human immunoglobulin (hereinafter referred to as immunoglobulin) is administered in accordance with the instructions for its use.

5.14. Contact persons from foci of measles, rubella or mumps who have not been vaccinated and have not previously suffered from these infections are not allowed to planned hospitalization V medical organizations non-infectious profile and social organizations throughout the entire period medical supervision specified in paragraph 5.7 of these sanitary rules.

Hospitalization of such patients during the period of medical observation in non-infectious medical organizations is carried out for health reasons, while additional sanitary and anti-epidemic (preventive) measures are organized in the hospital in order to prevent the spread of infection.

What is measles immunoglobulin and who is it used for?

Measles immunoglobulin is a drug obtained from donor blood containing measles antibodies. This drug used for epidemic indications in unvaccinated individuals. Immunoglobulin forms short-term.

Hello, the child is 9 months old, vaccinated with BCG and against hepatitis, we want to do DPT and OPV tomorrow. At the same time, on the weekend (04/17) we want to go to Kazakhstan for a month, 600 km by car. The question is whether it is possible to go or is it better to postpone the trip. How long after can you get the next vaccination? Before this, DTP was not done due to neurological problems, namely hydrocephalic-hypertensive syndrome. Is it possible to get vaccinated if you have an intestinal disorder? This morning I had loose stools.

Discussion

Regarding Ivanova, I just saw that you are not from Moscow. Sorry/

From experience, I warn against such a vaccination in general with such a diagnosis and at such an age. But that's my personal opinion.
Anyway:
1. A consultation with an EXPERIENCED NERVOPATHOLOGIST is required, preferably not from a clinic (mostly theorists), but one practicing in a children’s hospital, where children with similar diagnoses are treated (I can recommend neuropathologist N.N. Ivanova from the Tushinsky SOD) + an immunologist.
2. The neurologist gave us MEDOTDVOD for up to 2 years!
3. They did ADS-M only at 3 years old, but only against the background of histamine and diacarb. In the evening it rose t +39 C.
4. Of course, after vaccination, you can’t go somewhere right away, especially to a different (hot) climate!

and I believe that without any options - vaccinate. Tested on myself.

A week ago I gave my daughter a DTP vaccine (she is already 7 months old, she was not vaccinated due to treatment by a neurologist) on the same day the temperature was 38.5, fever, diarrhea with mucus. We started treatment as if from food poisoning, took a stool test, the results came in 3 days, during these three days the child began pooping blood, at first a little, then completely blood clots, I was shocked! the doctor said that such a reaction does not happen to the vaccine, it is an intestinal infection, on Monday it became better, tests came back - NO INFECTION, the tests were simply wonderful. And at the same time they gave me one film - the whole truth about vaccinations, in which doctors, professors and just mothers talked about the consequences, complications, and in general it tells the whole history of vaccinations, what they are made of (vaccines), how the incoming components affect on the body, etc. What did I decide for myself? NO vaccinations! I can briefly talk about the components of vaccines and their effect on the body - DPT-formalin (a carcinogen, a dangerous poison) causes cancer, vomiting with blood, all signs of severe food poisoning; organomercury salt (a preservative, prohibited, life-threatening) - affects kidneys, brain, nervous system; aluminum hydroxide (adsorbent) - affects the musculoskeletal system, liver, brain, gastrointestinal tract intestinal tract, biliary tract. Any vaccination causes irreversible damage to the immune system and nervous system your child, vaccinations suppress natural immunity and wear it out faster. Natural immunity much stronger than the vaccine, it was given to us by nature, and we kill it! Any vaccination should not be carried out until the immunity of a particular child has been examined and conclusions have been drawn whether he needs this vaccination or the body is able to protect itself. And vaccinating doctors give an increase to their salary for active vaccination, without thinking about the consequences, because these are not their children, but OURS!!!

Tanya, The timing of a child’s standard vaccination may coincide with the moment when parents first notice his autistic symptoms. Concerns about the role of vaccines have led to lower immunization rates in some countries, increasing the risk of measles outbreaks. At the same time, in the overwhelming majority scientific research There was no link found between the MMR vaccine and autism, and no convincing scientific evidence of the effect of thimerosal added to vaccines on the risk of developing autism.

in our school they give such vaccinations and 6 out of ten people have a positive reaction.

Since August 2004, we have been dodging vaccinations as best we can. Then we’ll take a medical withdrawal, then we’ll write refusals. What is there to do? after the first DPT we got episyndrome, were treated for up to a year and refused vaccinations INDEPENDENTLY. Only this year the allergist began to give us medical advice, because we are allergic to any chemicals. Where is the guarantee that the liver will cope with the vaccine? My friends’ child actually developed cerebral palsy after DTP. Even, excuse me, they recommend vaccinating dogs with a monovalent vaccine, and not against 33 diseases at once.

There are all kinds of vaccinations: against influenza, DTP, against tetanus, against whooping cough, against diphtheria, tuberculosis, etc. The use of all is necessary, since the conditions modern life Although they are comfortable, they are far from ideal, so the risk of accidentally catching some kind of infection is still high. Considering that vaccinations place some stress on the immune system, it is highly undesirable to receive several vaccinations at once. They must be installed one after another, after a certain period of time. Thus, the installation of all vaccinations can take a long time, about one year. But there is also a Mantoux test that children must take every year. This is where a lot of questions arise about the joint testing and vaccinations.

Why does vaccination immediately after the Mantoux test make parents think twice? Most likely, many people think that Mantoux is also a kind of vaccination, and after it other vaccines cannot be used for some time. The second misconception is that mantoux can affect the effect of the vaccination. To understand why both statements are fallacies, it is worth finding out what the Mantoux test is.

Mantoux is a test that shows the presence or, conversely, absence of Koch bacilli in the body.

It is used not to artificially induce immunity to tuberculosis, but to find out whether there are pathogens of this infection in the body. The substance injected into the skin during the Mantoux test is called tuberculin and is an extract from the semi-live pathogens of bovine tuberculosis. These bacteria are unable to reproduce even with good conditions, and are easily destroyed by blood cells - T-lymphocytes.

Tuberculin has no effect on immune system no load for a person. Moreover, no matter how surprised some may be, Mantoux is not a vaccine, and therefore vaccination against influenza, tetanus or any other disease immediately after the Koch test will not lead to anything bad. If a child was recently, literally yesterday, given a tuberculin test, then today he can be vaccinated against any disease. But, if necessary, vaccination can be done on the same day as the Mantoux test.

Such a combination should not affect either the results of the tuberculin test or the effectiveness of vaccination.

What to pay attention to

When can you get vaccinated after Mantoux? The answer is simple: maybe every other day, maybe every other day. The time period does not matter if the order is followed: first Mantoux, then vaccination. If the child has recently received any vaccination, Mantoux is allowed to be administered only a month later.

This is due to the following reasons:

  • false positive results may occur;
  • there is also a possibility of producing false negative results;
  • is decreasing overall efficiency procedures.

Before any vaccination, be it a flu shot or DTP, it is better to clarify when the next Mantoux test is scheduled. To avoid inconvenient situations, you can either do the test a little earlier and then immediately get vaccinated, or wait a few days and get vaccinated a month before the scheduled test. This will help to avoid problems with Mantoux results in a child, and will also prevent your beloved child from becoming infected.

You should also pay attention to the schedule of health activities in educational institutions your child. This is especially true for kindergartens, where quarantine is a frequent event. Experienced doctors recommend waiting a month before taking the Mantoux test, if you have not done so before. kindergarten the child was quarantined. This, again, is associated with the risk of getting false results tests with all the ensuing consequences. When is the best time to pass Mantu – a month from the end of quarantine.

How about DTP

How many days after Mantoux can a child be vaccinated with DTP?

It is immediately worth noting that the abbreviation should be understood as a vaccine that protects against three different infectious diseases at once, namely:

  1. From whooping cough.
  2. From diphtheria.
  3. From tetanus.

A kind of “universal” vaccine, which, theoretically, should have a noticeable effect on the immune system small child. In fact, everything in DTP is thought out in such a way that, despite its “broad focus,” the vaccine loads the immune system to a minimum, no more than other vaccinations. Therefore, it is also allowed to be used immediately after the Mantoux test. In case of reverse order, the time interval between two procedures should be at least one month. Otherwise, there may be problems with issuing correct results tuberculin test and problems with the formation of immunity to vaccinated diseases.

In general, to avoid 99% possible problems With regard to health, doctors recommend not to rush to get vaccinated, but to wait for the results of the Mantoux test.

And if it turns out to be negative (papule less than 4 mm), it is allowed to start vaccination. At positive result you should wait for the doctor's verdict. You may need to go additional examination, which will provide more information about health status regarding the incidence of tuberculosis.

For parents, while caring for a growing child, important issue becomes the interval between vaccinations, which is especially important if it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of polio. It should be noted that this is an important parameter that parents should definitely pay close attention to. For example, you should consider the situation with vaccinations against hepatitis, DTP, between the first and second vaccinations maximum term at twelve weeks, or at three months from the date of the last one. What is noteworthy is that the period may also vary somewhat, which is associated with the state of health of the child himself. For example, you can consider a situation in which the baby has a fever, nasal discharge, cough, and much more.

Parents can try to see a doctor and take the appropriate medical test from a doctor for DTP, after which the interval between the two vaccinations increases slightly. The same situation can be observed in the case of polio, if the child suffers from other diseases. It is worth paying attention to them in a timely manner and visiting a doctor who will help determine the causes and consequences of the situation and identify a possible delay in the vaccination procedure and against polio.

Important! Despite some delay in other vaccinations, DPT does not lose its importance.

Compatibility of Pentaxim and hepatitis B

Compatibility between such vaccinations for hepatitis B and the corresponding Pentaxim will become quite relevant, as well important component in the system provided by the Ministry of Health.

Key rules of combination:

  • You can combine these vaccinations without any problems.
  • The only condition relevant for compliance is preliminary preparation for carrying out such a DTP vaccination process.
  • During the preparation process, you can use fenistil, only in a strictly age-appropriate dosage, which will reduce the likelihood of a child developing adverse reactions on the drug, weakening of the immune system.
  • It is necessary to give the child water for no more than five days before the start of combining these vaccinations.
  • The maximum break is not regulated by current regulations; therefore, the decision is made solely at the discretion of the doctor himself, with whom an appropriate consultation must first be held.

Interval for administration of Pentaxim

In the case of appropriate Pentaxim vaccinations, an interval of no more than forty-five days is established between three vaccinations. A slight increase in the interval between the first two vaccinations is allowed, but it is not recommended to delay the third vaccination. Otherwise, you will have to start the whole process of DTP vaccination all over again, as all pediatricians talk about. Taken into account possible deviation health of the child, it is allowed to increase the interval between the following vaccinations DTP no more than doubled since the last one. Therefore, if parents cannot get a similar DPT vaccination one and a half months after the previous one, it is mandatory to vaccinate after three months.

Important! IN individually increasing the frequency of such DPT vaccinations is possible only after agreement with the doctor regarding the child’s current condition.

In some cases, an overdue vaccination, or a missed interval between two vaccinations, is so categorical and necessitates the need to carry out the entire process again. The most important condition for virtually any vaccination is to vaccinate only healthy children. In the event that DTP vaccination is carried out, there is no maximum possible time frame for its completion, there is only a minimum. The minimum period is just one month, while the established periods of 45 days are rather simply the safest, in order to eliminate the possibility of positive reaction on the introduced components. These deadlines are set based on the need to develop immunity for its speedy development. Between the third DTP vaccination and, accordingly, the first revaccination, a break of six months is established, no less, in accordance with set values and the relevance of vaccination issues.

Specifics of vaccination against other diseases

If it is necessary to consider the specifics of the break between polio vaccinations, you should definitely pay attention to the lack of practice of starting these activities again if the final periodicity has been expired. This need is due to the fact that there is a high probability of occurrence in the future. side effects difficult character from polio.

Key points:

  • In case of emergency, it is important to carry out only the missing polio vaccinations. If this is not done, the risk of unexpected complications and other adverse reactions to polio increases.
  • If about one year has passed since the second dose of the drug administered, you will simply need to administer a third dose.
  • In the future, it will be necessary to carry out an appropriate revaccination of polio every other year.

Analyzing the input of pentaxim, when possible violation schedule, the established intervals do not change, this applies directly to the period before the fourth dose, which is also set within one year. After the child reaches 12 months of age, it will be necessary to exclude repeated administration of the polio vaccine component against possible hemophilus influenzae infection; this must be closely monitored. Many nurses, who are quite new to such a drug as Pentaxim, quite intensively continue to add a hemophilic component to the syringe during vaccination. Some example can be given if during the first year in the hospital three Pentaxim vaccinations were given, of which about two were with hemophilic components, therefore, revaccination should be the same.

Important! During the first year, all three polio vaccinations with hemophilic components can be given, for which you should consult a specialist, qualified physician.

Many adults are sure that vaccinations are given only in childhood, and the immunity acquired as a result of vaccination lasts for life. However, this is not quite true. Protection from some diseases actually lasts for life, but some infectious diseases You can get sick as an adult, even if you were vaccinated in childhood, if you do not maintain post-vaccination immunity. Moreover, adults suffer much more severely, and complications arise more often.

During medical examinations, doctors usually remind adults about the need for revaccination, but not everyone attaches due importance to this and gets vaccinated. In this article we will talk about why vaccination is necessary in adulthood.

Diphtheria and tetanus

Revaccination against diphtheria and tetanus is also carried out for adults - once every 10 years.

If in childhood vaccination was carried out according to the National Vaccination Calendar, then an adult needs revaccination from and at 26 years of age (usually at 16 years of age, revaccination is still done at school or a children's clinic), and then every 10 years. A single administration of the vaccine at such an interval is sufficient to maintain the body's protection against these diseases. For adults, a vaccine containing a mixture of purified tetanus and diphtheria toxoids is usually used, so one visit to the vaccination office is enough to get the shot.

If vaccination was not carried out in childhood, then it is necessary to receive 3 vaccinations to form immune protection: the first two doses of the vaccine are administered at an interval of one month, the third one year after the last. Then revaccination is also carried out once every 10 years.

There is a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation requiring mandatory revaccination against diphtheria and tetanus for people at risk in connection with their professional activities:

  • workers Agriculture, sanitary and epidemiological services, construction organizations, whose activities are related to excavation and movement of soil, logging, deratization and disinfestation activities;
  • employees of organizations involved in the procurement, storage and processing of livestock and agricultural products, care and maintenance of livestock farms, especially slaughter;
  • workers maintaining sewerage facilities, networks and equipment;
  • workers medical institutions, laboratories;
  • employees of educational institutions.

Measles, rubella, mumps

Vaccination against these three diseases, which are dangerous in their consequences, is also included in national calendar vaccinations. Vaccination begins in childhood (1 year, 6 years, 16-17 years), but revaccination is required to maintain the body's protection against infections. The vaccination must be repeated at the age of 22-29 (depending on the timing of the last revaccination), and then every 10 years.

Adults who have not had these infections in childhood or have not previously been vaccinated receive two doses of the vaccine to build immunity with an interval of 1 month between doses, then revaccination is also carried out once every 10 years.

IN medical literature You can find evidence that immunity after vaccination against epidemic diseases persists for 20-30 years. Therefore, there is no need to administer a three-component vaccine every 10 years, but you can only vaccinate against, post-vaccination protection from which lasts only 10 years. However this controversial issue. 10 years after vaccination, protection against measles and mumps may also weaken, so it is recommended to use a vaccine containing all three weakened viruses for revaccination. In this case, if immunity from measles and mumps is still preserved, the viruses introduced with the vaccine will be destroyed.

Varicella (chickenpox)

Tick-borne encephalitis

Vaccination is recommended for people living in areas where tick-borne encephalitis is endemic. It should be noted that the vaccine only protects against tick-borne encephalitis, and not from everyone. You can get vaccinated throughout the year, but vaccination still needs to be planned in such a way that at least two weeks pass from the last vaccination before a possible encounter with a tick (it is better to start in early spring in March-April).

The vaccination regimen involves the administration of three doses of the vaccine: the first two doses are administered at intervals of one month, the third dose must be administered a year later, after the second, to develop full immunity lasting about 3 years. Revaccination is performed every 3 years by a single injection of the vaccine, however, for people working in the field and forest conditions, especially in endemic areas, it is recommended to be vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis annually.
