Ahead of the summer holidays, it's time to leave. Many parents send their children to camp or sanatorium. And they require proof of vaccination. We remind rule - when and how you can be vaccinated.

After DTP vaccination at eight-Cherkashina Stepan from the small village of Kursk region has developed a severe form of asthma, which is a couple of years difficult exostosis (deformity of the joints). Now a three-year Stepan surgery is required to keep the fingers on your hands. And the constant diet. How to tell his mother Tatiana, it all happened because of the fact that the kid put a vaccination during acute diathesis. Then Stepan almost died because of angioedema. And was invalid (details).

- Frankly, I would not bind Steels vaccination and the development of asthma, - says a practicing pediatrician Eugene Timakov. - As a rule, angioedema develops after half an hour after the vaccination. I can not comment on the situation because they do not know the history and details. Of course, crocked precinct pediatricians often think: if it is necessary to be vaccinated, then we will. Therefore, parents of kids with allergies need to be especially careful and planned to postpone the vaccination in the period of exacerbation. And the usual children before vaccination mandatory need to spend antihistamine therapy - 1-3 days prior to vaccination (depending on the state of health).
