Vaccination has a very critical importance for the personal and public protection against the infectious diseases. Preventive medical applications are strongly related with the level of development of a society. Because of this, it has a very important place in the health policies that a society –in its own inner dynamics- creates its own vaccination calendar applied in our country is in the level of developed countries. It draws the attention that there is serious confusion on issues of the vaccination campaigns applied due to the recent increase in the measles cases, the observation of Hepatitis A in the mature individuals sensitive to Hepatitis A after the inclusion of Hepatitis A vaccination into the national vaccination calendar and its fulminant course, the application of meningococcal vaccination in our land and situation of the children whose parents reject the application of vaccination. This review is written in order to resolve these confusions.
