April 24th to 30th just happened to be World Immunization Week. Chest physicians appealed that masks are now unblocked and it is flu season again. Therefore, I also remind everyone that not only the flu vaccine, but also the Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine is very important, especially for those with chronic High-risk groups such as lung disease and diabetes may cause meningitis or sepsis after infection, so they should pay more attention.
After getting the flu vaccine, don’t forget that you can also get the Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine. It’s the flu season, and you’re facing unsealed masks. Influenza is often accompanied by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection, which increases the risk of severe illness. Streptococcus pneumoniae cannot be ignored .
Yang Guangyao, Director of the Chest Department of Beirong: “Most people who get Streptococcus pneumoniae infection may only have respiratory symptoms, and a small number of people with poor immune function or the elderly or young children are easily infected by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Organs are malfunctioning and need to be admitted to the intensive care unit, and the pneumococcal bacteremia is so severe that it even has meningitis.”
Administering Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine to adults can protect themselves and the elders in the family. According to Taiwan’s pneumonia diagnosis and treatment guidelines, it is recommended that high-risk groups who are vaccinated against Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine, such as patients with chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, pay attention. Including adults over the age of 65, protection can only be produced by administering the Streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine.
Yang Guangyao, director of Beirong Chest Department: “Chronic lung disease, the risk of infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae is about 7 times higher than that of ordinary people, and the risk of infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae is about 3 times higher than that of ordinary people for diabetic patients, so this kind of Diabetic patients should pay special attention to not only blood sugar control, but also the risk of severe disease. In fact, everyone has noticed that patients with chronic diseases in intensive care units have a higher mortality rate than ordinary people.”
April 24th to 30th coincides with World Immunization Week. People over the age of 18 must actively go to the hospital to get vaccinated to prevent the virus from taking advantage. When masks are unsealed, it is necessary to know how to protect the elderly at home.
