Although no vaccine guarantees 100% safety, modern vaccines are the most benign, and children are many times safer to do vaccinations than to remain without immune protection.

Although no vaccine guarantees 100% safety, modern vaccines are the most benign, and children are many times safer to do vaccinations than to remain without immune protection.

The safety of the vaccine is provided through many overlapping activities. Before the vaccine is given official authorization for use on the market or will be included in national immunization programs of various countries, including Ukraine, every vaccine is studied for many years. In the process of developing a new vaccine, it is first necessary to obtain reliable data on its safety and efficacy in animals. After that, scientists should conduct clinical trials involving volunteer people in accordance with standard international protocols.

The study of each vaccine lasts for years before it is licensed and admitted to the market. Monitoring of vaccine safety and quality continues after its licensing, registration and use in national programs. Special studies collect information on all cases of adverse reactions. If there is any doubt about the safety of a particular vaccine, its use is suspended until the reasons are determined.

Each manufacturer adheres to the quality control process at all stages of production, and also carries out quality control procedures for each batch of vaccine. All vaccines that are used are safe and are used in all countries of the world for many years. Such a large-scale experience clearly demonstrates their safety and effectiveness.

However, the Ministry of Health certifies and tests every batch of vaccine in the laboratory, before allowing its use in Ukraine.

Great attention is paid to providing a "cold chain", which is used to preserve the effectiveness of vaccines when used. There is a well-organized system for urgently informing the health authorities about the need to suspend the use of a particular batch of vaccine if there are reports of unusual or severe adverse reactions in the use of this lot. Parents can be completely sure that the vaccine that they inject to their children in Ukraine is safe and will really protect them from serious diseases.
