Vaccinate the children! This is the latest report from Batut

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Serbia is a country with a moderate or medium risk of wild polio virus, which causes polio, and is in the immediate vicinity of countries where this risk is high, according to the latest report published by the Institute for Public Health of Serbia “Dr. Milan Jovanović Batut”.

A long-forgotten disease, that’s right, again at the door of Serbia! Minister Danica Grujičić explained this morning that there is a vaccine against polio caused by wild poliovirus in the WHO European Region (Turkey in 1998). and that it is only the parents’ responsibility to vaccinate their children regularly.

– When the polio vaccine appeared in America, before that approximately 60,000 children fell ill each year. After the introduction of that vaccine, in the first following year, no one. That is enough information to tell you how effective the vaccine is and how much it helps those children develop normally and I think that parents are taking a big risk if they don’t vaccinate their children – says Dr. Grujicic.

Danica Grujičić stated that there are a large number of people who are neither professional nor educated, and have the opportunity to comment on medical issues, which is not good and creates confusion in the public.

– It’s my recommendationcontact the pediatrician, he will explain to you. Doctors have a responsibility to be careful what they say and to absolutely advocate evidence-based medicine. And not to talk about something they might have read somewhere. Maybe they read it in English, but they are not fluent in the language, so they did not understand it as it is – says Dr. Danica Grujičić.

He points out that parents are responsible for the health of their children and that they must understand how big a problem cerebral palsy is.

– I invite them, if there is no other way, to come to the Institute for Cerebral Palsy and see what the torments of both parents and those children are so that they can function normally with all the neurological deficits and outbursts they have. Therefore, it is a serious disease and leaves great consequences. Here is an invitation to everyone to get vaccinated as predicted by the vaccination calendar written by Batut a long time ago – says Dr. Grujičić.

HPV vaccination

– It is a recommended vaccination. It is not mandatory, but why not vaccinate your child, when HPV has already been proven to cause cervical cancer.

– People ask if their child will remain sterile, that’s nonsense. HPV is a vaccine that has been around for 30 years and has been proven to prevent cancer and prolong life – says Dr. Danica Grujičić for “Prva TV”.
