Abstract

Prophylactic vaccinations are the easiest way of the protection against numerous diseases. They are one of the components of prophylaxis. Mass vaccinations are beneficial for the entire population as they contribute to the reduction of the health system expenses. The medical staff play an important role in educating patients about the range of possible vaccinations. It is very essential to note, however, that the lack of financing of recommended vaccinations is the reason for low the percentage of patients who received the vaccinations, but patients’ knowledge of the advantages of regular vaccinations is also of significant value. People responsible for giving vaccinations ought to inform the patients skillfully about the benefits and risks of them and their negligence. Each person at the older age and those suffering from chronic diseases should be informed about recommended vaccinations.
