Soldiers are one of the main professional groups to be immunized on a regular basis. The military actively participates in research on new vaccine preparations. This paper presents data from 2018\u20132021 on vaccination among Polish soldiers. The material obtained from the Central Register of Vaccination for Professional Soldiers was analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The number of injections performed in a given period depends on the location of the ongoing missions and the vaccination schedule specific to a given Polish Military Contingent. In Poland, soldiers undergo preventive vaccinations in accordance with the scheme developed by the Armed Forces Operational Command, taking into account the specific nature of the service, epidemiological risks and the calendar of current preventive vaccinations. Soldiers serving abroad are immunized against typhoid, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, rabies, measles, tick-borne encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, polio, diphtheria, meningococcal disease, chickenpox, cholera and yellow fever. Regular vaccinations for soldiers are necessary to minimize the spread of infectious diseases, and they have a beneficial effect upon the effectiveness of military operations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph192113724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,24]],"date-time":"2022-10-24T02:31:03Z","timestamp":1666578663000},"page":"13724","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Analysis of the Number and Type of Vaccinations Performed among Polish Soldiers in 2018\u20132021"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0176-6609","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Zawadzka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Public Health Lodz, Medical University of Lodz, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"},{"name":"Independent Department of Epidemiology, Military Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, 01-163 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewelina","family":"Ejchman-Pac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Department of Epidemiology, Military Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, 01-163 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejim.2021.04.019","article-title":"SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: Lights and shadows","volume":"88","author":"Angeli","year":"2021","journal-title":"Eur.
