Any child can fall ill and this illness is a big cause of concern vaccination and anxiety for parents. vaccination It is not possible to ensure vaccination that the child will always be healthy. Infectious diseases can spread easily - even the air we breathe may contain disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Children under two years of age are especially susceptible to infectious diseases because their immune system is not fully developed.
Vaccination is based on a simple principle. With a number of infectious diseases in man are usually sick once in a lifetime and become immune immunogenicity result. After vaccination, the body, similar to the course of the disease are exposed to disease-causing bacteria or virus exposure, but the vaccine, these diseases are caused by weakened or modified. Immunity (the body's defense) due to a cell of the immune system against pathogens 7-21 days makes antibodies (antibodies). Information about the body caught up pathogens fits in so-called memory cells. So, into the body of infectious disease agents repeatedly (vaccine or contamination), quickly and in large quantities vaccination antibodies.
The vaccine composition is important in order to produce a maximum amount of antibodies. Active part of the vaccine that activates the body's aizsargšūnas may be different. Some vaccines contain whole dead bacteria or viruses, the other - live, attenuated, yet another - bacterial or viral parts
The newborn child has immunity to many infections of maternally derived antibodies. They remain in the body of the child in the first months vaccination of life, then gradually disappear. It is therefore important to make a vaccination for the first months of life, when the child's body is in itself capable of forming antibodies. As the table shows, some of the vaccines your child should receive a number of times. Full immunity formed in strict vaccination accordance with the vaccination calendar intervals as specified. Sometimes the interval is prolonged illness.
Cabinet approved the vaccination calendar provides free baby systematic vaccination against the following infections: vaccination hepatitis B; tuberculosis; diphtheria; tetanus; whooping cough; polio; Haemophilus influenzae vaccination type b infections; measles; rubella; mumps; chicken vaccination pox; pneumococcal infection (from 1 January 2010); human papilloma virus infection (from September 1, 2010) tick-borne encephalitis (areas where, according to Latvian LIC epidemiological surveillance data has the highest incidence of tick-borne encephalitis, if the child is declared place of residence in the territory, as well as orphans and left without parental care children throughout the Latvian territory).
Agent of the disease is a virus. Source of infection may be sick or healthy person - the carrier of the virus. The disease can be transmitted direct contact with blood or other body fluids containing even a small amount of blood, including sexual intercourse. Infection can occur through medical and non-medical (intravenous drug use, piercing, tattooing, and others) during the manipulation, and the use of infected (sick person) personal hygiene items (toothbrush, towel, vaccination razor, etc.).
Signs of the disease. Children in the first years of life, the infection can take place without symptoms, but very often the child develops a chronic infection form. For older children the disease can be a clinical picture of influenza or hepatitis with typical symptoms - jaundice, fever, dark urine, abdominal pain, fatigue vaccination and loss of appetite.
Consequences. Up to 90% of infected infants, 30% of children under five years of age and 6% of persons infected after five years of age become chronic hepatitis B virus carriers. The disease can be very serious vaccination - a chronic inflammation of the liver, cirrhosis, liver cancer.
Vaccination. Hepatitis B vaccine protects children against the disease. Between the ages of two and 15 months infants receive four doses of the vaccine, but children at risk (children born to mothers who are carriers of HBsAg or had not been tested during pregnancy) 1 dose is administered 12 h. after birth. Grafted children vaccinated at the age of 14, making three vaccinations. Childhood vaccination against vaccination hepatitis B Latvian initiated in 1997.
Signs of the disease. After infection between 1 and 6 months of a child may appear low temperature, cough, sweating, weakness, weight loss. Tuberculosis most often localized in the lungs, but the process can also affect the meninges, ears, eyes, lymph nodes, kidneys and bones.
Consequences. Unvaccinated infants and preschool vaccination children can catch not only with pulmonary tuberculosis, but also with forms of the disease as tuberculous meningitis and generalized vaccination (general) tuberculosis infection associated with very rapid and seriously ill
