Vaccine contraindications

MUDr. Daniel Dražan
PLDD, Jindřichův Hradec

Vaccination belongs to the most effective interventions in preventive health care. Precise knowledge of vaccine contraindications is necessary for their optimal use and avoiding false contraindications makes protection for the most vulnerable individuals possible. The only general contraindication (for the same vaccine) is a serious allergic (anaphylactic) reaction to a previous dose or to any component of the vaccine. Live vaccines are contraindicated in individuals with severe immune deficits. Pertussis vaccine is contraindicated with severe progressive neurologic disorders until clarification and stabilization of the condition.

Keywords: Key words: vaccination, vaccine, immunization, contraindication, precaution, immunocompromise, immune deficit, immune suppression, pregnancy.
