Two new vaccinations for children will appear in the national calendar.

National vaccination calendar in Russia will expand exactly two vaccinations.

From 2020, children will be obligatory instill from chickenpox (chickenpox) and rotavirus infection. The decision was made, and the Minister of Health of the country Veronika Skvortsova told about it.

Only the question of vaccinations against meningococcal infection. It is in the regional vaccination calendars, but not in the National calendar. It is planned over time to make the federal lists and her.

Veronika Skvortsova noted that it is possible that the national calendar will also be vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV).

So far, this experience is only being studied, since HPV vaccines are administered only in some foreign countries. Observing the results and experience of foreign colleagues will allow Russian doctors to draw the right conclusions.

According to experts, this is a significant lag. Many physicians and scientists are inclined to believe that the schedule of childhood vaccinations should be made and hepatitis A vaccine.
