Department of Disease Control points out after Thailand prepares to enter Post-pandemic focus on numbers “Severely ill, intubation-death” because it reflects the situation of violence and the public health system whether it can support it or not. Repeat! The coronavirus vaccine also reduced severity and death from omicron BA.4 and BA.5, although infection protection was reduced across all vaccine platforms.

On June 29, at the Ministry of Public Health, Dr. Opas Karnkawinpong Director-General of the Department of Disease Control Speaking about the case, it was stated that the COVID-19 situation in Thailand had the number of real cases more than 10 times the number reported, saying that in the global data that are currently being reported, it is not the actual number of cases. It is estimated that it is 7-8 times more than the reported figure. Now the trend of infection is actually increasing. After more easing of measures, but not as severe as the delta outbreak. and Omikron in the early days, however, when we are going to adjust the system to Post-pandemic The number to be monitored were severely ill patients who were intubated. and the deceased which will reflect the situation that really Is the disease severe or not? Can the health system support it? The Department of Disease Control has a surveillance system.
“Information at the moment The rate of infection, morbidity and mortality was 0.07%, similar to that of influenza. Which has a mortality rate of 1 in a thousand or at 0.1%, which influenza is not checked every day And now, covid is considered to be less severe than many diseases per day,” said Dr Opas.
Asked if there are now BA.4 and BA.5 subspecies omikron for vaccination against COVID-19, it was said that the mRNA type would be the most effective, Dr Opas said, really, every time a new strain is found. other The ability to prevent infection decreases every person. Theoretically, BA.4 and BA.5 have mutations in sprite proteins. or spike protein, and when mRNA is made, it is the protein that produces the sprite protein. Theoretically, the response to BA.4 and BA.5 would be reduced, but with all platform vaccines.
“Really, the germs mutate faster than vaccines can produce. But the efficiency was reduced, but not completely, i.e. either the mRNA or the viral vector was reduced, and the dead germ was rarely injected. found that the effectiveness of infection prevention is reduced but effective in reducing serious illness and death still exists Which the Ministry of Public Health said with information is that the injection every 4 months will help reduce serious illness. and actually died therefore inviting the public especially the risk group to inject the 608 group of public health personnel various officials, including the military, police, or even the media who go to work in many places,” said Dr. Opas.
The reporter asked about the subunit protein vaccine. If used as a stimulant needle will help stimulate the landscape. as well or not, Dr. Opas said that due to this vaccine Foreign research results are relatively few. Can’t tell if booster is better or not. But preliminary data on boosters are fine. However, we do distribute them for either the first or second dose, or people who are allergic to other vaccines. Or if you want to have this type of injection, it can be considered. However, I would like to reiterate that all vaccines are effective in preventing sickness and death, but BA.4 and BA.5 have a reduced ability to prevent infection. which did not reduce much moderate reduction But we have to take other measures as well, namely, wear a mask.
“It is important to ask them to vaccinate, such as the 3rd vaccination, especially the 608 group. It is still very common that they do not come for the booster injection. As for people who meet a lot of people, working in pubs, bars, and karaoke are at risk. public health personnel Police officers and soldiers ask for boosters every 4 months, you can get any vaccination. and wearing a mask is still necessary which really is very useful in people with infection Because wearing it will reduce the spread of infection. But the best thing is that everyone wears it, and it’s not appropriate to wear it all the time or not. If in a crowded place Bad ventilation, everyone has to wear it, but if outdoors This exercise doesn’t have to be worn,” said the Director-General of the Department of Disease Control.
When asked about the registration of the Pfizer vaccine in young children, Opas said that now, as far as I know, there are Pfizer and Moderna, which the FDA has asked the importer to register with the FDA by Pfizer. called red cap The dosage is reduced to 10 times the size of the original, suitable for injecting young children. which we contacted Pfizer to request an amendment to the contract That sent Pfizer the same year 65, asking for 30 million doses, will ask for more of this one in the negotiation process. and seek approval from the Deputy Prime Minister for further approval
