Tuberculosis vaccines arrived for infants

The Ministry of Health has reported the receipt of the next BCG vaccine batch intended for newborns. These are 170,000 doses that are already preparing for the distribution between regions.

The vaccine was received as an international initiative with the participation of UNICEF and the Global Alliance of Vaccines. This is part of a long -term program, the purpose of which is to guarantee access to vaccination for all children, even in the most remote communities.

BCG vaccination in the first days of life is critical, because tuberculosis in babies often develops lightning and can affect the brain, bone or internal organs. Doctors emphasize that even a few weeks delay increases the risk of severe complications.

This year, the need for BCG vaccine has increased, in particular due to the movement of the population and complex logistics in war. The Ministry of Health promises that the party will be quickly delivered to maternity hospitals and outpatients where it is first needed.

For those who did not have time to get vaccinations in the maternity hospital, there is an opportunity to immunize in ordinary medical institutions - after examination by a pediatrician or a family doctor.
