Neurorazvojni poremećaji i vakcinacija protiv Covid-19 ; Neurodevelopmental disorders and vaccination against Covid-19

Cilj rada je da prikaže dostupne podatke vezane za vakcinaciju osoba s neurorazvojnim poremećajima i rizike koje donosi COVID-19 u ovoj populaciji. Realizacija cilja izvršena je pretragom baze PubMed. Istraživačke studije koje su uključivale pojedince sa dijagnozom COVID-19 objavile su da osobe s inte- lektualnom ometenošću imaju veću prevalenciju komorbiditeta i veću stopu smrtnih slučajeva u svim starosnim dobima. Sadašnji izvori ukazuju na to da postoji veoma malo dostupnih podataka o spremnosti osoba s neurorazvojnim poremećajima na vakcinaciju protiv COVID-19. Jedinstvena studija, rađena u državi Njujork, na uzorku od 91 ispitanika sa različitim ometenostima ut- vrdila je da bi 83,5% osoba definitivno ili najverovatnije primilo vakcinu protiv COVID-19. Zbog nedostatka podataka o spremnosti za vakcinu kod osoba s neurorazvojnim poremećajima, u Srbiji su hitno potrebni dodatni napori u vezi sa navedenim, kako bi se poboljšala zaštita zdravlja i usluga ovih osoba. ; The aim of this paper is to present the available data related to the vaccination of persons with neurodevelopmental disorders and the risks posed by COVID-19 in this population. Achieving this goal was done by searching the PubMed database. Research studies involving individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 reported that people with intellectual disabilities have a higher prevalence of comorbidities and a higher death rate at all ages. Current sources indicate that there is very little data available on the readiness of people with neurodevelopmental disorders to be vaccinated against COVID-19. A unique study, done in the state of New York, in a sample of 91 respondents with various disabilities, determined that 83.5% of people would definitely or most likely receive the vaccine against COVID-19. Due to the lack of data on vaccine readiness in people with neurodevelopmental disorders, additional efforts on this matter are urgently needed in Serbia in order to improve the health protection and services for these persons.
