title: VACCINATION COVERAGE RATES AND THE INCIDENCEOF VACCINE PREVENTABLE DISEASES AMONG CHILDRENIN SUMY REGION OF UKRAINE
abstract: Conclusions: RI uptake in Ukraine is still below World Health Organization target. The main reason for the ongoing measles outbreak was low vaccination coverage for routine immunization antigens as a result of which collective immunity decreased to a critical level. Strict monitoring of the implementation of the immunization schedule by medical institutions at all levels are recommended to improve vaccination status of Ukrainian children.
