Importance of Additional Vaccinations for Children

Russian pediatrician Maryam Sevolina noted that in addition to mandatory vaccination with the vaccines specified in the national calendar, it is important to vaccinate children with a number of other vaccines.

Vaccination Against Meningitis

First of all, the doctor drew attention to the need for vaccination against meningitis (Menactra vaccine). She noted that this infection is transmitted by airborne droplets and can lead to serious complications, including disability.

Protection from Tick-Borne Encephalitis

The doctor emphasized the need to protect children from tick-borne encephalitis with the help of Tik-E-Vac.

She said that this problem seems to be very relevant not only for residents of Siberia or the Urals, but also for the European part of Russia.

Prevention of Rotavirus Infection

Another serious infection is rotavirus (RotaTek vaccine). The younger the child, the more dangerous this injury is for him.

Protection from Human Papillomavirus

In addition, the child must be protected from the human papillomavirus (Gardasil vaccine). The pediatrician recommends vaccination in adolescence for both girls and boys.
