Подробно рассмотрены аспекты вакцинации против гепатита В, в том числе – оптимальный срок введения первой дозы вакцины, тактика вакцинации недоношенных и маловесных детей, безопасность рекомбинантных вакцин против гепатита В. На основании анализа заболеваемости инвазивными формами H. influenzae типа b с использованием методов, рекомендованных ВОЗ (Hib-RAT), эксперты рекомендуют введение вакцинации против этой инфекции в календари профилактических прививок. Основой комбинированных вакцин в педиатрии эксперты считают вакцины с бесклеточным коклюшным компонентом. Данный класс вакцин позволит ввести в календарь прививок дополнительную ревакцинирующую дозу коклюшной вакцины для иммунизации дошкольников, что диктуется настоящей эпидемической ситуацией по данной инфекции. Эксперты отмечают ценность применения комбинированных вакцин в педиатрии, широкое внедрение которых в практику здравоохранения отвечает интересам родителей, медицинских работников и общества в целом. Ключевые слова: гепатит В, H. influenzae типа B, Hib-RAT, коклюш, АКДС, полиовакцины, комбинированные вакцины, календарь профилактических прививок, дети.(Педиатрическая фармакология. – 2007; 4(1):6-18
