New trends in immunization
- Katedra epidemiologie, Fakulta vojenského zdravotnictví, Hradec Králové
System of immunization has a long tradition in the Czech Republic. New knowledge is step by step applied and influences particularly
paediatric practice, however is projected into new preventive programmes of general practitioners for adults, too. Actual change of
immunization calendar introduces the adolescent booster dose against pertussis, moves booster against tetanus and abolishes additional
BCG doses beyond the scope of basic schedule. A conjugated pneumococcal vaccine will be introduced in mass, but not obligatory regimen since the next year. Implementation of the next new vaccines is limited particularly with economic aspects. Beside of vaccines against infectious diseases appear gradually anti-cancer, anti-smoke vaccines and others.
Keywords: immunization, immunization calendar, adjuvans.
