neurological adverse events following vaccination
in the relation to intensity, time of onset, taking into
account the immunological and non-immunological
mechanisms. The authors described the physiological development of the immune system and the
possible immune system responses following
vaccination. Toxic property of thimerosal – a
mercury-containing preservative used in some
vaccines was presented. The neurological complications after vaccination were described. The role
of vaccination in the natural course of infectious
diseases and the current immunizations schedule in
Poland was discussed.
