Popis: At three study sites, incidence rates of meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b exceeded the threshold of 10 cases per на 100,000 children under 5 and mandated vaccination. Both vaccines the use of which is permitted in the Russian Federation are efficacious and safe. In order to make immunization a success, it’s imperative to take the comprehensive approach comprising not only vaccine procurement but also cold chain reinforcement, laboratory capacity building including staff training, computerization of primary care facilities as well as other feasible types of healthcare modernization. Immunization against Haemophilus influenzae type b not only prevents in children purulent bacterial meningitis of aforementioned etiology but also reduces rates of respiratory infections.
