In Poland, the current percentage of vaccinated persons provides for appropriate protection against dissemination of contagious diseases, however, year by year, the number of children that are not vaccinated has been growing significantly, which can, in the future, result in an epidemic threat and in a recurrence of the diseases that are, at present, considered extinct. The growing number of unvaccinated children should be attributed to many parents’ fear of complications. That is why it is extremely important to raise awareness about the objectives of obligatory vaccinations and the consequences (including legal consequences) of non-compliance with this obligation.
