Doctor is worried about 3 more weeks ‘Semester starts – into the rain’, children are addicted to COVID-flu shot! Recommend ‘boost vaccine’, don’t worry about cumulative toxicity
Progress in the case of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) and medical professionals from various institutions Concerns about COVID-19 Will return to spread again after the Songkran Festival because there is a tendency to find more infected patients together with COVID-19 The omikron subspecies XBB.1.16 is endemic in many countries around the world. which throughout the week Ministry of Public Health has already prepared to control the disease.
On April 21, Assoc. Prof. (Special) Dr. Tawee Chotpittayasunon Experts, Ministry of Public Health and the National Committee on Communicable Diseases infectious disease specialist gave an interview that Worried about the start of the semester for the next 2-3 weeks. There may be more outbreaks among school children. which will overlap with the influenza outbreak Because it was the rainy season, according to the follow-up data before the Songkran Festival, it was found that among 100 patients with respiratory symptoms who went to see a doctor, 3.6% were infected with COVID-19. and nearly 15 percent were infected with influenza In the next phase, medical personnel are asked to be prepared. Because now it’s not the vaccination cycle to prevent both influenza and COVID-19, causing most people to lose immunity In particular, influenza is expected to see an increase of 30-40 percent in patients.
Assoc. Prof. (Special) Dr. Tawee mentioned the concern about the case of multiple doses of vaccination against COVID-19, whether it will accumulate in the body or not, for the vaccination of COVID-19, it has been considered that Benefits to the people who have to look at 3 things: are they infected or not? Are you seriously ill? and died or not Especially in risk groups, namely the elderly and people with chronic diseases. at risk for the severity of the disease But if vaccinated, it can help reduce the severity of the disease and prevent death. Information confirms that more than 3 doses of vaccination have very clear benefits.
“While preventing infection will depend on the infection that changes the appearance If the infection changes quickly But the immune system in the body still remembers the face. Prevention of infection may decrease, but still reduce the severity of the disease well. Latest information from Europe that inject hundreds of millions of doses of the vaccine It was found to be useful in preventing deaths from COVID-19 up to 100 million people, while Thailand is about 4.9 hundred thousand people, not counting the reduction in the number of patients with severe pain, so it has been weighed that Injections are more helpful than harmful. Concerns about the side effects from the injection have to look at the information which is clear that A natural infection with COVID-19 has a chance of developing myocarditis 1 per thousand people, but a vaccine has a chance of 1 per million people, so it has to be weighed. Benefits to protect life It’s like buying insurance for yourself, ”said Assoc. Prof. (Special) Dr. Tawee.
Assoc. Prof. (Special), MD. Tawee said that as for the question of whether the vaccination of COVID-19 Many needles will accumulate in the body or not, confirming that there is no academic data on whether the vaccine will accumulate in the body. only worry The same is true for influenza vaccination. injected for more than 80 years
“I myself have been injecting for at least 15 years because each year the body’s immunity will decrease. While the virus has changed its appearance to survive in nature. so that the body cannot detect the infection Therefore, there must be a booster injection every year. or can be seen from medical personnel Working closely with the infection around, 99 percent have vaccinated more than 4 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, ”said Assoc. Prof. (Special), Dr. Tawee.
Reporters reported that on April 20 the past. Division of Medical Sciences, Department of Medical Services, Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) organized a training on the topic “How important is COVID-19, strain XBB.1.16?” Prof. Kunkanya, M.D. Chokpaiboonkit Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital Mahidol University said that since Thailand began vaccinating people for COVID-19, and many people are naturally infected with COVID-19, until now it is estimated that about 94 percent of Thai people are immune to COVID-19. already to some extent And from now on it will stimulate the immune system. by periodic vaccination according to the moment that the immune system begins to fall In which Thailand will begin an annual COVID-19 vaccination plan.
“For the efficacy of the vaccine The study found that Reduce mortality in the elderly by 4 times and reduce mortality in children by 3 times in the intensive vaccination during the immune fall. If stuck, it will help prevent death. And reduce severe symptoms. There are studies both at home and abroad confirming that 3 injections is better than 2 injections, if 4 injections is better than 3 injections, if injecting for 4-6 months, then the immunity will fall. When injected to stimulate cells in the body to remember will increase immunity, so it is recommended that If anyone has been vaccinated for more than 4-6 months, please go get the booster vaccine. Which brand of vaccine will it be? Or can be injected alternately (cross) and if anyone has immune deficiency should be vaccinated in conjunction with LAAB, which studies have shown that at this time, LAAB can still prevent COVID-19 other strains available in Thailand, except for XBB.1.16. It was found that only 44.4% of the elderly received 3 injections of the vaccine, while the young children received very little vaccine, although these two groups, if infected, had a higher risk of severe symptoms or death than other groups. Dr. Kunkanya said
However, Prof. Kulkanya said that from the study it was found that among the elderly, if receiving the 2nd generation of bivalent COVID-19 vaccine If infected, it can reduce hospitalization by up to 73%.
Concerns about side effects from the vaccination Confirmed that if the occurrence is less than the chance of infection. and to reduce side effects Ask people who received the vaccine to follow the doctor’s advice, for example, to refrain from exercising after the injection, and there is also information that the vaccine increases the chance of developing neurological disease.
“For the doctor himself due to the risk of meeting a large number of patients Therefore, 6 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been injected, the latest dose has been received for about 4-5 months and is about to receive the next dose soon. Kulkanya said
