STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATION FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE AND SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: Public health is the most important power factor of a nation, representing the basic aspect all the other factors are derived from. Infectious diseases are the main cause of human morbidity and mortality. Vaccination is the most significant prophylactic method regarding infectious-contagious diseases. Mass vaccination prevents the emergence of epidemics, epizootics or homonymous pandemics, and at the level of the individual it ensures specific active immunity (complete or partial). Thus, the vaccination of population and/ or risk groups has strategic importance for the respective nation both at peacetime and during war.Military scientific research could result in micro-production of specific drugs (antidotes, anti-infectious medicines) in order to cover the army’s needs and also the needs of the population risk groups. An example would be preparing vaccines for the prophylaxis of ABR and bioterrorism-caused diseases, as niche products. There is nothing that prevents the preparation of a certain medicine as serial, galenic, or pilot-batch product, provided that there are adequate space, equipment, personnel, and procedures, according to the law or exceptional circumstances exceptions.
