Abstract
Refusal of vaccination by the population and a high percentage of medical contraindications for immunoprophylaxis remain an urgent problem of practical health care. The goal of the study is to study the awareness of Tyumen parents about the need for children’s immunoprophylaxis. The survey of 323 parents who came to pediatric departments of city polyclinics in Tyumen, selected by random sampling in 2018-2019, was conducted and its data were analyzed. The survey included questions describing the respondents` attitude to immunoprophylaxis of children. We analyzed the reasons of parents` refusal to administer individual vaccines and the distribution of medical diversions from routine vaccination according to the profile of a specialist doctor in a children's polyclinic. 87,0 % of respondents consider it necessary to vaccinate their children, 66,9 % of respondents carry out the entire volume of mandatory routine vaccination for their children. According to the results of the survey, there is a low awareness of parents regarding additional children’s vaccination. The key points of work with the population at the present stage is to reduce the refusal of vaccination by informing parents about the possibilities of preventive immunization.
