Current Issues of Vaccination and Allergic Reactions to Vaccines

On April 27, 2026, as part of the annual Immunization Week, the Department of Internal Diseases, together with the Regional Allergology 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 views, and practical recommendations. 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. Against the background of the increasing 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 foundation and an understanding of the social role of immunization among future medical specialists is of particular importance.

The round table was attended by the teaching staff of the immunology division of the department, 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 Allergology Center «DiVera».

The following reports were presented during the round table:

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

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

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

Following the meeting, the participants reached a common opinion on the need for more active involvement of the medical community in informing the population, 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, residents, and medical specialists in discussing current issues of immunoprophylaxis.
