This was announced by the Minister of Health of Belarus during the scientific-practical conference with international participation "Vaccination: a modern view on the problem". Aliaksandr Khajayeu emphasised that vaccines protect each person individually and allow protecting the collective health of people. Thus, preventive vaccination coverage of children and adults in Belarus has reached the optimal level: for children — not less than 97%, for adults — not less than 95%. Since this year, the population has been vaccinated against 13 infectious diseases within the framework of the National Calendar of Preventive Vaccinations, and against 21 infections within the framework of the list of vaccinations on epidemiological indications.
