VACCINATION AND CONTRAINDICATIONS BASED ON THE NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION CALENDAR AND THEIR BASIS

In the early 1980s, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that mild fever, mild respiratory infections or diarrhea, and other minor illnesses should not be considered contraindications to vaccination, noting that contraindications had a significant impact on vaccination coverage [1]. In studies, the most common contraindications to vaccination are cough, fever, and taking medications. In fact, fever, cough, and taking many medications are not grounds for stopping vaccination according to the guidelines. A study in the Czech Republic showed that the proportion of children with contraindications to vaccination is increasing over time, and the problem of complete vaccination of children is emerging [2, 3].
