The table has been compiled with the estimation that the person has been vaccinated as a young person in accordance with the national immunisation scheme.
The Estonian immunisation schedule has been prepared in cooperation between doctors, researchers and state representatives, taking into account:
- what are the prevalent vaccine-preventable infectious diseases;
- the age at which people have the highest risk of infection;
- the best time for vaccination based on the characteristics of an organism;
- what has been proven, by way of medical research, regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
