Within the framework of the national project “Health”, RosPotrebNadzor is going to intensify measures assumed for immunization of the Russian citizens in 2008.
According to a resolution signed by the chief sanitary inspector of Russia Gennady Onishenko, these measures will also include additional immunization of the Russian citizens aged 18-55 (who haven’t been vaccinated or haven’t had this disease before) against the viral hepatitis B.
RosPotrebNadzor also expects to receive assistance from the federal agencies in vaccination of adults under 35 years of age, who haven’t been vaccinated or haven’t had this disease before, or do not have information about inoculations, against the measles. In the first place students, recruits, medical workers, teachers and salesclerks will be inoculated. It is also envisaged to realize vaccination against the poliomyelitis among all children under the age of 1 year, to realize immunization against the flu among preschool children, school children, medical workers of schools and adults above 60 years of age.
