Current Issues of Vaccination and Allergic Reactions to Vaccines

On April 27, 2026, as part of the annual Immunization Week, the Department of Internal Medicine, in cooperation with the Regional Allergy Center "DiVera", organized a round table dedicated to current issues of immunoprophylaxis. The event was organized by Associate Professor M.R. Izmailovich and Assistant Professors O.Yu. Dedova and B.S. Koshkarbayeva.

The event became an effective platform for discussing modern aspects of vaccination, exchanging experience, scientific perspective, and practical guidelines. The aim of the round table was to raise awareness among the medical community and the public about the importance of vaccination as one of the key areas of preventive medicine. Amid rising of the prevalence of a number of infectious diseases, as well as the rise of anti-vaccination attitudes in different countries, the development of a strong scientific background and an understanding of the social role of immunization among future medical professionals is of particular importance.

The round table was attended by the faculty members of the immunology division of the department, medical residents in the specialty "Allergology and Immunology", intern students of groups 6-010, 6-011, and 6-041 GM, students of group 4-009 GM, as well as doctors of the Regional Allergy Center.

The following reports were presented during the round table:

1.   First-year medical resident A. Muratkyzy - "Modern Vaccines: Composition, Classification, and Features of the Immune Response".

2.   First-year medical residents A.S. Kabyldina and Z.M. Seilkhan - "Features of Preventive Vaccination in Patients with Impaired Immune Response and Allergic Diseases".

3.   First-year medical resident M.O. Ykhlasova - "Allergic Reactions to Vaccine Components: Types of Reactions and Contraindications".

Following the meeting, the participants agreed on the necessity for more active involvement of the medical community in promoting public awareness, expanding educational initiatives in the field of immunoprophylaxis, and supporting scientific research in this area.

The round table became an important contribution of the department to the development of a culture of vaccination and demonstrated the strong interest of students, medical residents, and medical professionals in discussing current issues of immunoprophylaxis.
