County. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study group included 611 school-age children attending from secondary school and a technological high school in T__ampersandsignacirc;rgu 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. CONCLUSIONS: We have found a significant decrease in DT vaccination, which could create conditions for a possible increase in the incidence of the disease under conditions of increased circulation of the pathogen.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>vaccine, vaccination, vaccination coverage, student</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://revista-medicina-scolara.ro/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=9283&title=Evaluation of the vaccination situation in a group of children of school age in Mures county</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References>Brumboiu MI, Bocsan IS.
