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 meningococcal disease

Meningococcal disease is a severe infectious disease that is transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets during coughing or sneezing. The risk of infection is increased by long-term and close contact with a sick person or a bacterial carrier. In cases of meningococcal infection, the person may become a carrier of the bacteria without experiencing any symptoms.

For primary immunisation, infants aged six weeks to under six months receive two doses with a two-month interval. Infants aged six months and older, children, adolescents and adults receive a single dose.

After the primary immunisation series, infants aged six weeks to under 12 months should receive a booster dose at 12 months of age, at least two months after the last vaccination.

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).
