Problems of vaccination in Ukraine

The constitution of Ukraine fastened a right for citizens on a health protection, medicare and medical insurance (st. 49). It is necessary to notice that a right on a health protection is the widest. It includes a right for medical help and a right on medical insurance. An important place is occupied by the problem of vaccination among problems which is connected with realization of right on the health protection. This problem becomes more and more actual for Ukraine.

In opinion of the majority of experts vaccination itself is indispensable and very useful thing but only in the condition of observance of all requirements for its realization. And Ukraine for some reasons has many problems with it.

Informed consciously-voluntarily concordance on any medical interference - one of the basic existent requirements which are produced to the health protection of a human and to the legal relations between a citizen and organs of health protection in Ukraine. It is not "forbidden for citizens of Ukraine to know", and medical workers have obliged to inform not only about the benefit of inoculations but also about the possibility of aftervaccination complications.

Citizens have to know, consciously and voluntarily to decide: to accept such kind of medical help or not. It is fastened in the law of Ukraine "On protecting of population from infectious diseases" as prophylactic inoculations.

Young parents of XXI century who cares about the responsibility of education of own children have to know that an inoculation is a serious immunobiological operation. It is impossible to conduct the inoculation of all children successfully without negative consequences for the health of one child. There is a question: life of one child or hundreds of children rescued by him?

There are many disputes concerning the utility of vaccination which appears every day. One group ofspecialists categorically come forward to an inoculation, others - against mass character of this medical interference, the third - against the use of living vaccines in the "prophylaxis of health" of children. At the times of the USSR there were fourth group paediatricians and phthisiologists, and also some epidemiologists-immunologists who made attempts to limit permissiveness in "perfection" of nature of human, beginning from the birth, leading to the danger of inoculation. They argued against the vaccination of new-born. And how to decide: who of them is right?

Brought the protracted saying over nothing of many aspects of mass scope injections to the volume, that a vaccination grew into the everyday phenomenon. A problem of vaccine - prophylaxises becomes more and more important with every day. Almost all people have opinion that only inoculation rescues the world from infectious diseases, only due to vaccines it will be "beaten and liquidated" all or almost all viral and bacterial infections. In our maternity hospitals on the first twenty-four hours, after birth of a child, a vaccine enters without any research and inspection. nobody asks parents to do an inoculation or not which is substantial violation of the Ukrainian legislation. Thus it is known that such total "anxiety" did not bring the result in eradication of infectious diseases. A vaccination is possible only after diagnostics, which exposes and sifts those, who can not be inoculated. And it is only the beginning of "total" maintenance of our health".

Vaccines are checked neither for carcinogenic (ability to cause a cancer) nor on mutagene (ability to cause genetic mutations) effects. High-toxic matters (Mercury, formaldehyde, phenol, aluminium) are added to the vaccines, although nobody and never proved the harmlessness of their application for children. It’ll be correct to reverse this state - the sufficient amount of researches proved that these matters are poisonous, harmful for an organism and become a reason of nasty illnesses.

According to opinions of specialists, problems, related to the vaccination will go nowhere, while our legislation will not have the legal adjusting of relations between a patient and medical establishment. Not a single word is said about that in Law of Ukraine "On infectious diseases" who must bear the responsibility in the case of aftervaccinational complications. It is not marked in any document, when and where a human must check up the state of health, before the vaccination. If nobody will be responsible for that how a human will feel after an inoculation, a vaccination must be voluntarily, like in the civilized countries.

In opinion of immunologists, fully to renounce an inoculation - really dangerously. But, before the vaccination, it is NECESSARY:

1) to find out the condition of health of human, whether he does not have contra-indications to the inoculation;

2) to check the reaction exactly on this antigen;

3) to define the level of antibodies to the causative agent of measles and german measles.

After getting answers for these three questions everybody must decide: it is necessary for him to vaccinate or not. And nobody has an authority to compel a citizen to this step.
