The four districts in Nanjing have arrived and the vaccination age is wider
Recently, the domestic 13-valent pneumonia vaccine for children has been launched. This week, the four districts of Nanjing Xuanwu District, Jianye District, Pukou District and Jiangbei New District have arrived, and other districts will also arrive one after another.
Staff from Nanjing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention introduced that Streptococcus pneumonia have many serotypes, and Thirteen Valentine is to prevent pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumonia. Since its launch in 2010, the
13-valent pneumonia vaccine has been the best-selling vaccine in the world, with more than 100 million vaccinations each year. However, due to its "imported" identity and the relatively large age limit, many mainland Chinese babies have no chance to be vaccinated. The (13-valent) pneumonia vaccine imported by
is narrower in age, and can only be administered from 1.5 months to 6 months. The domestic age is wider, and it can be administered from 1.5 months to 5 years old.
Experts suggest that parents can comprehensively consider factors such as their baby's own situation and economic conditions, and freely choose to import or domestically produced 13-valent pneumonia vaccine.
Imported 13-valent pneumonia vaccine requires four injections, each injection is 700 yuan, and the domestic 13-valent pneumonia vaccine in Jiangsu is around 600 yuan.
Domestic 13-valent pneumonia vaccine immunization procedure:
(1) 2-6 months of age (minimum 6 weeks of age) Infants: 4 doses of
(2) 7-11 months of age infants: 2 doses of basic immunization
(3) 12-23 months of age infants: 2 doses of
(4) 2-5 years of age in children: 1 dose of
People over 60 years of age are recommended to receive 23-valent pneumonia vaccine
It is understood that Streptococcus pneumonia is also widely present in the nasopharyngeal cavity of healthy adults, and about 50 million people die from pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumonia every year around the world. Experts recommend that, if conditions permit, adults, especially those over 60 years old, be vaccinated with the 23-valent pneumonia vaccine.
Especially for people with underlying diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and COPD, they are better protected. Patients with new coronary pneumonia will have other diseases that are complicated by pneumonia. If they are vaccinated with pneumonia, the risk of concurrent pneumonia can be reduced. At present, the supply of vaccines in Nanjing is still relatively sufficient.
