Refusing of vaccination in the Vysočina region in the period 2010 - 2013
PALÁTOVÁ, Ilona
Vaccination in the Czech Republic has had a long tradition, belonging to the basic care within the paediatric prevention. It is a very effective protection for children and adults not only from infectious diseases but also their consequences. In these modern times, however, there are some voices questioning the usefulness and importance of mandatory vaccination. Fighting for its abolition comes from individuals as well as from organized groups that call the vaccination to be unethical, immoral and inhuman. The most common reason to refuse the vaccination is the belief that some vaccinations are not necessary. This issue is increasingly becoming the subject of many discussions, so I see it very topical.
The recent legal form of compulsory vaccination in the Czech Republic and the consequences arising from its rejection.
STRACHOŇOVÁ, Jitka
A new decree of the Ministry of Health No. 537/2006 Coll. On Immunisation against Infectious Diseases came into effect on 1st January 2007. Every individual residing in the territory of the Czech Republic is obliged to undergo a given kind of regular immunisation pursuant to Act No. 258/2000 Coll. On Public Health Protection as amended. Thus, my thesis is aimed at the current legislative arrangement of vaccination and its goals are: to find out about benefits of the amendment of this Decree in the sphere of public health protection and to map legal and health consequences of refusing regular immunisation. The goal of the thesis was met as both positive and negative aspects of the amendment of the Decree as well as legal and health consequences of refusing regular immunisation were described. In future, an open dialogue between parents and paediatricians explaining the need of vaccination as primary prevention against emergence and spread of infectious diseases should be supported
