Vaccination is the most effective public health
practice to prevent infectious diseases with high morbidity and mortality. As
the rate of vaccination increased, infectious diseases decreased considerably.
Today, with the reduction of diseases, attention has been focused on the side
effects of vaccines. The most important and common of these side effects are
serious allergic reactions. A history of a serious allergic reaction to a
vaccine should be considered as a contraindication to additional doses of the
same vaccine. However, a severe allergic response to the vaccine is rare, can
occur in any individual and is difficult to predict. Almost all vaccines have
the potential to trigger anaphylaxis and all vaccine components can cause
anaphylaxis. Allergic reactions after vaccination may be due to microbial
antigens, stabilizers, preservatives, adjuvants and contaminants from
production. Most of these components are often present in small amounts that
are insufficient to induce allergic reactions in most patients with possible
hypersensitivity to the component. It should be determined whether the reaction
after the vaccination is allergic or not. It is important to differentiate
allergic reactions from the clinical picture that coincides with the vaccine.
Fear and uncertainty against allergies may result in incomplete vaccination for
children and adults with or without allergies, as the contraindications of
vaccination are not clearly defined. Therefore, it is necessary to know the
correct approach for re-vaccination of a patient with suspected allergic reaction
after vaccination. In addition, vaccination with pneumococcal and influenza
vaccines is recommended for individuals with chronic pulmonary disease, such as
asthma.
