Эта болезнь вызывается инфекцией.Diphtheria is characterized by inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and skin (mainly in the places of wounds and cuts). The disease can have quite dangerous consequences: in the worst case, the entire cardiovascular and nervous systems are affected. Diphtheria is transmitted by airborne droplets and is particularly difficult for unvaccinated people. Therefore, most doctors insist on the need to vaccinate in time. It is mandatory and is done at the district clinic. The essence of vaccination lies in the fact that after it is carried out in the body begin to produce antibodies that will subsequently protect you from diphtheria.
Vaccination of children
Vaccinations of the child are made several times.The very first - when the baby is three months old, the remaining three injections should be made at a 45-day interval before the child turns one year old. The next diphtheria vaccine should be given immediately before entering school. Then the medicine is injected regularly every ten years (this is done to maintain immunity). According to the rules, the injection is done in a specially equipped medical office, and it should be carried out by a qualified nurse. Compliance with these simple rules will minimize the risk of complications.
Vaccination adults
Нередко вопрос о том, какие возможны побочные effects of vaccinations against diphtheria, not only worries young parents. Vaccination is done not only for children, but also for adults. The difference lies in the fact that the baby is injected with the drug intramuscularly (as a rule, in the gluteal muscle). Adults put the injection under the scapula. The effect of the vaccine on the injection site has no effect.
Vaccination during pregnancy
Possible side effects of diphtheria vaccinationespecially pregnant women. This is understandable - after all, they are responsible not only for themselves, but also for the life of the fetus. Experts agree that it is necessary to do the vaccination, however, the procedure should be carried out in advance (at least two months before the intended pregnancy). If there is an urgent need to vaccinate a woman "in position", then this is best done during the second trimester.
One of the likely side effects may befever, soreness at the vaccination site, swelling, redness and itching of the skin. If you are sick with ARVI, it is better to postpone the vaccination until full recovery. Before you vaccinate a child, he should undergo a full medical examination and consult with a neurologist. Ultimately, each parent himself decides whether his child will be vaccinated, however, experts advise not to neglect this procedure. After it has been done, so that the side effects of the diphtheria vaccine do not arise, a number of measures should be observed: first, avoid drafts and stay in the cold for a long time. Secondly, lovers to relax in a hot bath will have to do for a while with a regular shower. Refrain from visiting places where a lot of people are gathering - this increases the risk of catching a virus or infection. If you follow these simple rules, then everything will go well.
