Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: Vaccination is an important active prophylactic method for certain diseases.The purpose of our study was to verify the vaccination coverage in a group of children from Mure? County.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study group included 611 school-age children attending from secondary school and a technological high school in Târgu Mure?. We analysed the type of administered vaccine, the number of doses, the time interval between the doses, respectively the contraindications for a particular vaccine.
RESULTS: We found that among the 611 children, 40 are unaware of the vaccination situation and one completely refuses vaccination, and of the 570 vaccinates coverage fot BCG is 95,61%, 96.31% are vaccinated against hepatitis B virus most of them having 3 doses , 96.66% are vaccinated with VPI and DTP with 4-5 doses, 95,43% are immunized against measles, respectively 90,17% against mumps and rubella, and just 38.30% had DT vaccine.
