The New Crown Vaccine Expert Committee met yesterday (15th) to discuss whether to lower the age of Kexing vaccination to 3 to 17 years old. The committee has since approved the application.
In other words, children can be vaccinated as long as they are 3 years old. Parents of school children need to pay attention.
"Hong Kong 01" learned from many politicians with young children, and many of them said that they would rely on the opinions of family doctors and experts before making a decision.
Among them, Chen Kaixin, a former member of the Legislative Council who was a political assistant to the Food and Health Bureau, said that her children are vaccinated with inactivated influenza vaccines every year. Based on this, it is inferred that you should not worry too much about vaccinating Kexing vaccines with the same technology, but will also consult first. The opinion of the family doctor.
Chen: Inactivated vaccine BB can be beaten
Chen Kaixin pointed out that Kexing vaccine uses traditional inactivation technology, which is different from Fubitai's newer technology. Therefore, if children have been vaccinated with inactivated influenza vaccines in the past and have no special sensitive reactions, the preliminary inference based on this logic should not be There is too much risk, but we must first ask the family doctor's opinion.
"As soon as I ask the family doctor, I will call. Don't wait for the school to arrange it. The inactivated vaccine can even be used for BB. My son and daughter will get the inactivated flu vaccine year after year. Don't worry too much."
Chen also mentioned that the school to which the children belonged also issued a notice last week to ask parents about their children's vaccinations. I believe the school is also prepared.
However, she specifically pointed out that if children receive the new crown vaccine, they will discuss with the school about the arrangement of activities in the school, "You know, we will take a break after the injection, and the children will "discharge" and may jump around. We have to join the school first."
Zheng Yongshun: Two children are about to get an injection
Rong Haien, a member of the Legislative Council of the New Democratic Party, has two daughters, the eldest of which will be 3 years old next January.
In response to the inquiry, she said that she would trust the professional assessment and opinions of experts, but understand that parents would be worried, so it is recommended that parents take their children to see a doctor for evaluation. After all, children have different physiques and should be handled more carefully.
For her own children, she said that she would first consult a doctor for advice. If the situation permits, she would consider bringing her children to vaccinate. Because the current epidemic situation is under control, she hopes to cooperate with the government's epidemic prevention measures to achieve early customs clearance.
Cheng Yongshun, a member of the DAB Legislative Council, also has three children, aged between 10 and 14.
He also said that he understands that if the vaccination age is lowered to 3 years old, parents will be concerned. Therefore, if the government relaxes the vaccination age, it should explain to the public more fully.
He pointed out that the two older children are about to be vaccinated, and I believe the younger one will also be willing to vaccinate. If the government agrees to the safety of vaccinations, parents will welcome their children to get vaccinated.
Tian Beichen has many grandchildren under the age of 12.
He pointed out that from the perspective of public health, the opinions of experts have always been respected, so he does not have much opinion. Moreover, many elementary schools and kindergartens are unable to teach full-time because their children cannot be vaccinated. It is also reasonable to vaccinate school children.
He also pointed out: "Although I am not the old man, of course I am waiting for my daughter to decide. As a grandfather, of course I respect his opinions."
