Analyses, examinations, procedures

Humans are exposed to thousands of pathogens every day. The immune system is continuously working to protect us against them, and its activity goes unnoticed. Vaccination helps the body’s immune system recognise and combat threats.

Vaccination results in the development of immunity similar to that of an infectious disease. This means that the human body is able to eradicate harmful micro-organisms before they multiply en mass when later exposed to the disease. This is how vaccination prevents the spread of infections.

The need for vaccination depends on a number of factors:

  • which infectious diseases the person has already had
  • which vaccinations they have already had
  • what their work-related risks are
  • whether there are dangerous disease outbreaks in Estonia
  • where they plan to travel in the near future

For any questions about vaccinations, please contact your Confido family doctor or general practitioner, who will arrange new vaccinations for you, if needed.

Vaccination against chickenpox (as of 12 months old)

Chickenpox is a contagious infectious disease characterised by a distinctive rash on the skin. The pathogen is transmitted through respiratory droplets and direct contact with the fluid from the blisters. Infection occurs by being in the same room as an infected individual. The disease starts with catarrhal symptoms and a rise in body temperature, followed by the development of nodular-vesicular rash and the fever rises during the rash phase.

The vaccination schedule consists of two doses administered within a four to eight-week interval.

All vaccinations done at Confido are recorded in your vaccination passport, which we ask you to take with you when you come to get vaccinated. If necessary, we will issue a new vaccination passport for an additional fee (€10).
