«VACCINATE YOU CAN’T GET SICK» OPINION OF PARENTS ABOUT PREVENTIVE VACCINATION OF CHILDREN

Abstract

Nowadays, vaccination is a very urgent problem in connection with numerous controlled infections episodes throughout the world and increasing tendency of parents to refuse vaccination. The research was conducted to study the attitude of parents t o preventive vaccination of children. The study included questionnaire survey of 400 parents aged from 20 to 50 years old. In the course of the work, it was found out that the main part of the parents have a positive attitude towards vaccination (206 people - 51%), but there are those who treat vaccine prevention with distrust and require separate attention from health workers in carrying out sanitary and health communication. In 49,8% of cases parents are in fear of vaccination adverse effects. It is connected with the lack of knowledge about vaccines composition, safety of adjuvants and stabilizers, which are added during manufacturing, as well as mode of administration. It is necessary to raise awareness of parents, to find the ways to explain the base of preventive immuniza tion to boost the immune coverage of population and to bring up the healthy generation of our country.
