The widespread measles disease in Azerbaijan has started to worry everyone. The Ministry of Health has repeatedly warned parents to vaccinate their children. But despite this, many parents refuse to vaccinate.
Some parents claim that their children have some kind of problem after vaccination. According to them, no children are examined in polyclinics. If the child does not have fever, flu, or cough, he is vaccinated. Even the number of people turning to private hospitals is increasing so that children are not given vaccines imported from India or China in public hospitals.
But are there really side effects from vaccines? Should the child be tested for any problems before vaccination? Does the country of manufacture of the vaccine play a role?
Publika.azThe employee learned the opinions of pediatrician Vagif Garayev on the subject.
The doctor said that parents who have this opinion are not the only ones in polyclinics. According to him, the child cannot be allowed to be vaccinated without examination:
“Most vaccinations are given to children up to the age of one year. The vaccination given at this age protects the child from dangerous infections in the future. For example, there is a vaccine called AKDS, which is given to children up to one year of age 3 times. Even so, children up to one year of age undergo monthly medical examinations. Their weight, doctors advise about height, nutrition, etc. A pediatrician knows his child. I do not believe in the claim that “children are vaccinated without being examined by a doctor.”
When the measles epidemic spread, and even before that, parents who brought their children for examination were asked whether their child had measles. Some parents say no. When I ask why it wasn’t done, they say I don’t know. The parent does not know the reason. This is the answer I hear most often. The second answer is that “they said it is damage”.
When the measles epidemic spreads, those parents regret and anxiously ask how we can prevent our child from getting measles. This is the only answer. Getting vaccinated. Vaccination protects children from measles.
When you refuse to vaccinate, an epidemic begins. Here the question arises, what did the health care institution do to prevent that refusal?
I know field doctors, thanks to whom children are vaccinated. But there are pediatricians, thanks to whom no child has been vaccinated. In any case, the responsibility of the child’s health falls on the parent. I do not believe that any field pediatrician would not inform a parent about vaccination.
It is definitely said to get your children vaccinated on time. Therefore, I want to condemn the main parents. Because I myself work with parents and see what they think about vaccination.
They asked “what is the harm of the vaccine?” they don’t give a clear answer when asked. They just say that it is damage, my neighbor said, my mother-in-law said, I read on social networks, etc.
I have been writing about vaccination for years. There are extremely radical parents. They write to me in the comments why do you promote vaccination? It is harmful, it makes the child disabled. But they don’t show any source.
Show a source, show a source from world-renowned scientific centers, laboratories, pediatricians, that the vaccine makes a child fifty. There is no. Let’s say that a doctor living in a foreign country writes on a social network that vaccination is harmful. They start circulating it.
I suggest that you send a request to the Republican Center of Hygiene and Epidemiology, how many percent of the children’s contingent was vaccinated in 2023?
What percent of the total are vaccinated and what percent are unvaccinated? Why were those who were not vaccinated? Let them show the reason. But they don’t.
It’s not just measles. At present, whooping cough is also spreading, which is a disease that requires vaccination. The world is so globalized that no one can guarantee that an epidemic will not spread.
No pre-vaccination analysis is required anywhere in the world. Ours even require analysis at the genetic level. As I said, the field doctor knows his child in his field. If the child has any hereditary or chronic disease, the child is not vaccinated. Therefore, there is no need for any analysis.
This is just an excuse for parents to refuse vaccination. This vaccine comes from India or another country, so it is illogical to refuse the vaccine. That is, the country does not matter. All vaccines approved by the WHO standard can be used.”
In the end, the doctor specifically emphasized that it is necessary to find a way out of this situation:
“Because if someone doesn’t vaccinate their child, when that child gets infected, it infects my child too. That person has already violated my rights. His right not to vaccinate takes away my child’s right to health.”
