Еще в 2002 г. по обоснованию Института в Календарь прививок Украины была введена инактивированная полиомиелитная вакцина (ИПВ) для 1-й прививки против полиомиелита (остальные 5 доз по возрасту дети продолжали получать ОПВ). В 2006 г. – эту вакцину начали применять и для второй прививки. Это позволило сначала снизить, а затем практически прекратить случаи вакциноассоциированного паралитического полиомиелита в Украине. С тех пор неоднократно поднимался вопрос перехода в Украину на полную схему вакцинации ИПВ, как это практикуется уже много лет во всех странах Европы, США, Канаде, Австралии. В настоящее время эта проблема приобретает еще большую актуальность, учитывая как эпидемическую ситуацию, так и перспективы вступления Украины в ЕС.

When transitioning to biological therapy, subcutaneous administration should be considered to limit patient contact with the healthcare facility. Selective switching from intravenous infliximab to subcutaneous anti-TNF is not recommended as it may increase the risk of relapse. If the patient is in contact with a COVID-19 person, withdrawal of anti-TNF therapy for 2 weeks should be considered.
In 2021, in Ukraine, vaccination coverage rates for children under 1 year of age against such infections as tuberculosis, measles, whooping cough, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, etc. ranged from 78% to 80.1% (with the required level >90 %), which is undoubtedly not enough to recognize the epidemic situation under control. In particular, this figure for 3 vaccinations against polio at the age of up to 1 year was 80.1%, 5 vaccinations at the age of 6 years received only 78.4% of children. At the same time, vaccination coverage rates varied widely across regions. In 12 regions, among children under 1 year old, they were <80% and ranged from 68.5% to 73.9%, and among children under 18 months. (4 vaccinations) - 66% to 73%. That is, almost 20-30% of children did not receive routine vaccination against poliomyelitis due to age in the above target groups, subject to vaccination according to the Immunization Schedule.
