Savina announced the timeline for the resumption of vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis.
Vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis for the adult population of the Sverdlovsk region will resume in about two weeks. This was promised on the air of OTV by the Deputy Governor - Minister of Health of the region, Tatyana Savinova.
According to Savinova, as reported by v-tagile.ru, the Sverdlovsk region has overcome a prolonged shortage of vaccines for the prevention of tick-borne encephalitis. This shortage arose due to a nationwide lack of vaccine.
Since last autumn, the regional Ministry of Health has announced an auction for the purchase of the vaccine four times, but due to the absence of products on the market, no suppliers applied for them.
At the moment, the ministry has already determined the winner of the tender. The signing of the contract for the purchase of 90,000 doses of adult vaccine is scheduled immediately after the May holidays. And by May 12, the Ministry of Health hopes to begin shipping the vaccine to municipalities.
The shortage of vaccines has not affected the immunization of children - 70,000 doses have arrived and have already been distributed to children's medical organizations in the Sverdlovsk region.
In April, Baza reported that Sverdlovsk residents did not have the opportunity to get vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis at clinics this spring.
It is worth noting that earlier, infectious disease doctor Andrey Pozdnyakov from "Invitro" told Uralweb.ru that it is best to get vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis in February. Chief epidemiologist of Yekaterinburg, Alexander Kharitonov, explained in detail the vaccination scheme against tick-borne encephalitis.
