Vaccinating children is one of the best ways to protect a child's body from dangerous infectious diseases. Physical examination, comfortable and safe conditions for routine and unscheduled vaccination, and adherence to vaccination schedules in line with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine calendar.
Vaccination is a set of measures that introduce a vaccine into the body; the vaccine's antigenic material helps build lasting immunity that prevents infection with certain diseases or makes their course considerably milder. CSM Clinic provides child vaccination in Kyiv in line with the National Immunization Schedule of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Before a vaccine is given, the pediatrician performs a physical examination, orders laboratory tests if needed, and provides referrals to specialists.
Vaccination is a reliable way to protect children from serious infections. The issue is especially relevant today, as outbreaks of dangerous infectious diseases occur periodically around the world. Vaccination remains one of the most effective means of prevention. With modern, safe vaccines available, parents can protect their child from severe and life-threatening diseases.
Innate passive immunity passed from the mother to the child weakens over time, leaving the baby vulnerable to infections. A child's immune system develops gradually and needs significant support, which preventive vaccination can provide.
After vaccination, the body produces antibodies against a specific disease. When the child's body encounters the pathogen, the antibodies neutralize it, so the disease either does not develop or is mild and without complications. For some vaccines, protection weakens over time, so booster doses are given according to the schedule.
Timely vaccination helps protect a child's still-developing body from dangerous diseases (polio, tetanus, mumps, rubella, whooping cough and others) that can lead to complications and even disability. Mumps is especially dangerous for boys because of the risk of infertility. Vaccines against pneumococcal and meningococcal infections help prevent life-threatening diseases. The Mantoux test is also worth mentioning as a diagnostic tool for tuberculosis.
Contraindications to child vaccination according to WHO and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine:
If contraindications are temporary, the child can be vaccinated on schedule once their condition has stabilized. An exception is an allergy to chicken egg protein, which is present in some vaccines. In this case, the doctor draws up an individual vaccination plan, replacing the vaccine with one that is safe for children with allergies.
There is a common misconception that vaccination should be avoided in chronic diseases. In fact, chronic conditions are usually not a reason to refuse vaccination, and such children are often especially vulnerable to infections. This can always be decided individually at a consultation with a CSM Clinic pediatrician, who will assess the risks and choose a suitable time for vaccination.
The official immunization schedule includes:
In addition to the mandatory vaccinations, children may receive additional recommended ones. These include vaccination against meningococcal and pneumococcal infections, chickenpox and influenza.
CSM Clinic specialists follow the vaccination schedule in line with the Ministry of Health calendar, or draw up individual schedules if the general scheme has been disrupted and with the child's health in mind.
Immunization does not require special preparation. The child should be healthy for 2 weeks before the vaccine is given. At the parents' request or on the pediatrician's recommendation, blood and urine tests and consultations with specialists can be done. These steps help assess the child's health more precisely before vaccination. After vaccination, the patient stays under the doctor's observation for some time to watch for any adverse reactions to the vaccine.
Routine child vaccination is carried out in accordance with strict rules and standards under the unified National Immunization Schedule approved by Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 947 of May 18, 2018. CSM Clinic carefully follows the requirements of the state program.
