Abstract

Relevance. The risk of an epidemic spread and the quality of vaccination and immunization of infectious diseases are defined by epidemiological parameters of morbidity and mortality, their dynamics and structure.

Objective. To define the possible risk of initiation and the extent of control management of the vaccine-preventable infectious epidemics in Ukraine.

Material and methods. The article contains the results of calculation and comparison of average morbidity and mortality due to vaccine-preventable diseases for certain periods (1965–1989  and 1990-2014). The trends of factual incidence rates for the period of 1944–2014 have been graphically detected.

Results. According to the epidemiological criteria, dynamics and structure of morbidity with the vaccine-preventable diseases, there have been established rating parameters and the degree of control management.  The rating parameters (points) correspond to the generalized epidemiological characteristics of each infection. According to the current level of the vaccinations coverage of the Ukrainians,  the risk of exacerbation of the epidemiological situation for certain vaccine-preventable diseases is increasing, probably in that sequence: tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, whooping cough, measles, and the degree of control of these infections in opposite sequence.

Conclusion. In Ukraine the morbidity with diphtheria and tetanus is sporadic, while the morbidity with rubella, epidemic parotitis and hepatitis B is close to the sporadic. The morbidity with whooping cough and measles is the least controlled one.
