During the Great Patriotic War, the joint hard work of the country's leadership, public organizations and, most importantly, the Soviet people, to counter the emergence and spread of epidemics of infectious diseases, which were previously characteristic of any wars and took more lives than hostilities, made it possible to avoid not only the spread of infectious diseases in the rear and at the front, but also ensured the rapid localization of epidemic outbreaks. The article shows the state of the network of sanitary and epidemiological institutions, human resources, and nutrition characteristics in infectious diseases hospitals. The experience of combating epidemics on the territory of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War showed the whole world that with the correct organization of anti-epidemic measures, including the development of vaccine prophylaxis, it is possible to ensure the well-being of the population even in the most difficult conditions.history of medicineepidemicGreat Patriotic Warvaccinationpreventionистория медициныэпидемияВеликая Отечественная войнавакцинацияпрофилактика1.Вовси М.С.
