Summary
In line with the objectives of the World Health Organization programme “Health for all in the 21st century”, administrative vaccination coverage estimate is done annually in children in the Czech Republic, based on the uniform criteria set by the Chief Public Health Officer. In 2009, the vaccination coverage by December 31, 2009 against nine selected infectious diseases included in the routine childhood immunization schedule in accordance with the Czech legislation was assessed in children whose family name starts with the letter R. The results confirmed that the vaccination coverage in the cohorts of children checked achieves levels suitable for inducing herd immunity against the selected infectious diseases.
