Liu Yulong, chairman of the Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases, said in Hong Kong and Taiwan’s "Millenniums" today (28th) that the committee recommended that those who have received two injections of Kexing can choose to "ditch injection" and switch to BiTai, because of the research data They all show that their antibody levels are high, but citizens can make choices based on their own considerations. Vaccination with three needles of Kexing can also prevent severe illness.
He hopes that the Hong Kong government will implement the third injection arrangement as soon as possible, and it should be fast rather than slow, and it should not be delayed until the end of the year.
Liu Yulong pointed out that the committee recommends that those who have received two injections of Kexing can choose Fubitai for the third injection, that is, "gou injection", because foreign and local studies have shown that their antibody production is higher, but the public You can also choose according to your personal circumstances. If you go to high-risk areas, you can choose Fubitai; if you are worried about the side effects of Fubitai in Hong Kong, you can consider continuing to inject Kexing.
He also mentioned that vaccination with three needles of Kexing is "not inferior" in preventing severe illness, and it is not the same as Fubitai.
He also pointed out that as time progresses, injection recommendations and policies will change with the accumulation of experience. "Depending on the family's continuous optimization, eligible people should get three injections. Two injections may not complete the mission." Liu also believes that the Hong Kong discussion The progress of the third stitch is not too slow. "Our land is no longer behind." I hope that the Hong Kong government will implement the arrangements as soon as possible. "January" and eligible people who have been vaccinated with Kexing should receive the third shot in order, "Of course it doesn't happen all at once."

Related patients include active cancer patients who need chemotherapy or electrotherapy, patients undergoing organ or bone marrow transplantation, people who need kidney dialysis, and AIDS patients. , And patients with rheumatism who are taking drugs that suppress the immune system.
As for the citizens who have been vaccinated with two injections of Koxing, especially those at higher risk of infection, including elderly people 60 years of age or above, medical staff, people involved in anti-epidemic work, providing cross-border transportation or working at control points and ports, and long-term For patients who are ill, it is recommended to start the third dose at least 6 months apart.
As to why there is a time gap between the two types of people, Liu Yulong explained that the physical condition of the elderly and other people is not as weak as that of the kidney dialysis patients.
As for the third category, it belongs to the above-mentioned higher-risk group of people who have been vaccinated with two doses of Forbitux.
The committee recommended last month that after taking into account myocarditis factors, young people who have been vaccinated with Fubitai only need to have one injection. According to data, about 60,000 young people have already received one injection. 10% of them have already been given the injection due to the need to travel to high-risk areas. The second stitch.
Liu Yulong pointed out that the committee has not yet had an agenda to discuss the arrangement of "groove needle" for young people, but he is personally thinking about the feasibility of related research. He mentioned that Kexing has not seen data showing that it induces myocarditis, or is considering arranging for vaccinated with Forbitux. Adolescents were vaccinated with the second shot of Kexing by intradermal injection.
As for the lowering of the age threshold for vaccination by Fubitel, he said that the committee did not have time to discuss it yesterday.
