  • Cepljenje v Sloveniji = Immunization in Slovenia
    Kraigher, Alenka, 1950-
    A reduction of the incidence and lethality of communicable diseases after the introduction of vaccines is evident and some infectious diseases are now beingeliminated or even eradicated. The term ... immunization does not mean only the application of vaccines but all the necessary work for implementation, providing and evaluation. The most important for a successful immunization programme is data on the target population and a well co-ordinated immunization schedule based on knowledge of both epidemiology of diseases and the immune response of vaccinated individuals and the target group. An expanded immunization programme needs a proper organizational infrastructure including medical staff, immunogenic and safe vaccines of high quality and an adequate surveillance data. The vaccination is provided by nominated paediatricians, school and public health physicians in the public and private sector respecting good clinical practice. The immunization programme is provided continuously and co-ordinated by regional and national co-ordinators.During vaccine storage and distribution, centrally provided by the National Institute of Public Health, good storage practice and cold chain are fully respected. The Central Population Register distributes the data on the target population. Immunization surveillance and evaluation is supported by hardware and software that assure rapid data exchange and allow permanent surveillance of immunization activities on every level by age groups. Adequatedata on vaccination and adverse events following immunization are permanently available, which helps to evaluate the vaccination impact and monitor trends in vaccination. However, our national immunization policy is jeopardized by barriers that interfere with its implementation including insuficient public awareness, inadequate documentation of immunizations received, missed opportunities for immunization.
