The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation jointly with professional association and experts in the field of pediatrics, infectious diseases and resuscitation has revised guidelines “Clinical Features and Management of the Disease Caused by New Coronaviral Infection (COVID-19) in Children” in order to provide the child population with effective medical care during the pandemic of the new coronaviral infection. The practical experience of specialists from various countries was considered during the development of this document. Special attention should be given to the evidence base of the presented data, as well as to the efficiency and safety issues of medications used in treatment of coronaviral infection and its complications. The authors highlight the problems of prevention, diagnostics and management of pathological conditions caused by COVID-19 in the article according to the presented guidelines. Patient’s management is presented depending on the age and severity of the disease itself. The therapy is considered with regard to etiological, pathogenetic and symptom focus.

Background. Monitoring of documented vaccination is one of the indicators of the epidemiological supervision quality of preventive vaccination. It is crucial for epidemical situation prevention. Objective. The aim of the study is to estimate immunization and immunization coverage levels according to National Immunization Schedule (NIS) for children population in Russia. Methods. Immunization rates were estimated according to preventive vaccination cards (form №063/y) and children development cards (form №112/y) among children aged from 6 months to 15 years in 8 towns of Russia. Immunization was determined by the ratio of people who has fully performed all the vaccines from NIS (version of the year 2014), while immunization coverage – by the ratio people who has received at least one dose of corresponding vaccine. Results. The study has included data from 2,687 vaccinated children. The highest levels of immunization and immunization coverage were against tuberculosis (98.1% each), hepatitis B (85.9% and 96.5%), measles, mumps and rubella (84.4% and 93.9%). Immunization against diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus significantly differed from their immunization coverage (60.5% and 94.9%), as well as for poliomyelitis (65.0% and 94.9%). Relatively low immunization and immunization coverage levels were observed for pneumococcal infection (27.6% and 47.1%) and influenza (5.8% and 30.5%). The increase in the immunization level with age was observed for all vaccines, except pneumococcal vaccine. Conclusion. Immunization and immunization coverage against infections included in NIS vary significantly. The highest immunization and immunization coverage levels for all age groups were revealed for tuberculosis vaccine, and the lowest — for influenza vaccine.
