RESUMEN
Aunque las vacunas víricas han contribuido notablemente al desarrollo social durante el último siglo y medio, muchos datos indican que los grupos que se oponen a su uso han logrado incidir negativamente sobre las coberturas vacunales en los últimos años, haciendo rebrotar en los países desarrollados ciertas enfermedades que ya se hallaban al borde de la eliminación e incluso provocando indirectamente algunas muertes que podrían haberse evitado. Respondiendo al llamamiento de muchos salubristas preocupados por esta deriva social, el presente artículo pretende difundir información veraz sobre la trascendencia real de las enfermedades que combaten las vacunas víricas, sobre algunos conceptos que ayuden a enjuiciar correctamente su eficacia y su seguridad y sobre las consecuencias que derivan del rechazo a las vacunas incluidas por la autoridad sanitaria en los calendarios de vacunación, tanto para las personas como para la comunidad
ABSTRACT
Although viral vaccines have contributed noticeably to social development during the past century and a half, there are many data that point to the fact that those groups opposing their use have achieved a negative impact on vaccination coverage during the past years, leading to a new outbreak in developed countries of certain diseases that were on the brink of elimination, and even being the indirect cause of some deaths that could have been prevented. Answering to the call by many health professionals concerned by this social drift, this article intends to provide truthful information on the real importance of those diseases fought against by viral vaccines, about some concepts that help to judge adequately their efficacy and safety, and about the consequences caused by the rejection of those vaccines included by health authorities in vaccination schedules, both for persons and for the community
