Chatting with Marianna Alexandrova: Your Guide to Vaccinations in Yakutia

Our Talk Today

Hey there! Today, we've got Marianna Alexandrova, the immunoprophylaxis whiz from the Center for AIDS Prevention in Yakutia, joining us. Today, she's here to spill the beans on vaccinations, their importance, and the exciting changes coming to the region's vaccination schedule. Buckle up!

Endemic Zones and at-risk Populations

Good news for locals in Aldan, Lena, Olekma, Neryungri, Hangalass, and Suntar districts – vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis is free of charge! Why? Because those areas are home to the tick-borne encephalitis virus. If you work in agricultural, forestry, or other high-risk jobs, or simply reside in these districts, free vaccinations are on the house. For travelers and others not living in these areas, vaccination comes at a cost.

Calendar Shuffle

Get ready for a new regional vaccination schedule in Yakutia, starting from 2024. It builds on the national vaccination calendar yet adds a few extra jabs to protect our Yakutians against diseases unique to the region. Expect vaccinations against hepatitis A, measles, meningococcal infection, rotavirus, whooping cough, HPV, pneumococcal infection in the elderly, and tick-borne encephalitis in the endemic districts. Keep a close eye on your doc's recommendations!

Rotavirus and HPV: Q&A

The questions kids and parents often ask about the rotavirus and HPV vaccines – we've got answers! The rotavirus vaccine is administered orally to infants aged 2 months and older, and the HPV vaccine is given to girls aged 9 and up. No worries about overloading the little ones; newborns face hundreds of thousands of new antigens every day and handle it just fine! Vaccines are carefully tested before hitting the market to ensure stability when multiple can be safely administered at once.

Imported Cases: A Global Concern

No matter how well we've vaccinated, there's always a risk of imported cases. With countless connections between countries, infections in other parts of the world can easily spread to unvaccinated individuals. From labor migration to tourism, every cross-country exchange brings the potential for infection. Protect yourself and your loved ones – stay vaccinated!

Fun Fact:Studies show the immune system's ability to handle multiple vaccines at once goes far beyond a newborn baby's needs. Even if 11 vaccines were administered at birth, only a minuscule 0.1% of the immune system's full potential would be utilized. [4]
