Patients and methods. A survey of 225 parents of children 2010 and 2011 was born three stations Vinnytsia, during which identified the main causes of failures of vaccination. 
 

Research results have proved relying on known scientific facts. All of the reasons for our failures of varying immunization vaccine is scientifically unfounded and baseless.
