Abstract:

This literature review addresses the risk of vaccination complications including neurological ones. Some vaccines associated with vaccine-induced febrile seizures (FS), e.g. vaccines against pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus, can provoke FS but they are not their cause. Therefore, delaying a vaccination to an older age does not reduce the risk of FS. The author also considers international and Russian recommendations on vaccination in children with epilepsy, West syndrome and Drave’s syndrome.
