Contraindications vaccinated against rabies

Modern rabies vaccines are generally tolerated relatively well. In addition, rabies - a very dangerous disease, and vaccination should be done in any case, because without it the effects of the disease on human health will be extremely negative.

And yet, during the post-exposure rabies vaccination in some cases, have to comply with certain restrictions. Thus, during treatment can not take any drugs that suppress the immune system, except in cases when there is an urgent need. This is due to the fact that corticosteroids and other agents that weaken the immune system, as well as diseases that cause immune deficiency, may impede the development of immunity after vaccination. If you refuse to accept the drugs can not be, and if the patient has the disease, which was the result of immune deficiency during treatment is necessary to observe special precautionary measures.

Pregnant women with suspected rabies as prescribed post-exposure prophylaxis of rabies: in this case the risk for the mother's health is much more serious potential risks associated with the introduction of the vaccine. In addition, the study has not yet been revealed whether the increases vaccinated against rabies Vaccination against rabies - the only escape from a deadly infection  Vaccination against rabies - the only escape from a deadly infection

Vaccination against rubella during pregnancy planning

For most adults, a strong immune system Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults  Immunity - types and characteristics in children in adults
   either due to rubella vaccination in childhood, or because of the fact that they have previously been ill rubella. However, neither one to another does not guarantee that you are still protected from this disease. In some patients, the immune system weakens with time. This means that you can be protected against rubella, for example, in adolescence, as well as during the first pregnancy, but by the time you become pregnant again, immunity is weakened. Therefore, women are strongly encouraged to do the analysis on antibodies to rubella virus before each pregnancy.

It is also possible that in humans after immunization or rubella not developed immunity to the disease. It is estimated that this occurs in 5% of patients.

Vaccination against rubella before pregnancy is recommended for all women (except for those who are allergic to components of the vaccine), who do not have antibodies to rubella virus.

Most experts agree that pregnancy after vaccination against rubella Rubella - it is better to be vaccinated  Rubella - it is better to be vaccinated
   should be scheduled no earlier than 1-2 months. However, observation of the women who were vaccinated less than one month before pregnancy and even when they were pregnant, did not help to identify any health problems for the mother or the fetus.

Analysis of antibodies to rubella virus is usually made during the first visit of a pregnant woman to the doctor. If it turns out that the future mother is not immune to rubella, the doctor usually recommend to make a single injection of the vaccine against rubella in a few days after birth (usually it is done before the statement of a woman with a newborn baby from the hospital). The main objective of vaccination after the end of pregnancy - to prevent rubella and development of possible complications in subsequent pregnancies. Vaccination against rubella is completely safe for women who breastfeed their children.

Vaccination against rubella and autism

Since the first vaccine against rubella do for children aged 12-15 months, and the first signs of autism often appear between 15 and 18 months, for a long time, researchers have begun to raise the issue that between vaccines and autism may be a link. The first study on this subject was published in 1998; in it, among other things, he cited a number of examples where children were found autistic symptoms within a few months after it was introduced a vaccine against rubella. However, the principle of "then no means thereby" applies not just logically but also in medicine.

Over the next few years it was published thirteen more research on this topic, and ten of them have denied any link between autism and the vaccine MMR.

Despite this, the question of the connection between the disease and the vaccine from time to time rises again. At the same time, doctors say that the most dangerous thing to refuse vaccinations, as likely to get rubella, measles Measles in children - may cause serious complications  Measles in children - may cause serious complications
   or pig, from which protects the vaccine MMR, much higher than the risk of developing autism. In addition, some of these diseases, often - measles, can lead to serious complications, which result sometimes become chronic health problems.
