Liang Zichao: Uninjected young children are a gap in epidemic prevention
Respiratory specialist Liang Zichao said that the current minimum age for vaccination of Fubitai vaccine is only 12 years old. In addition, children may have myocarditis after vaccination. The transmission of the mutant virus Delta is too strong. Children who have not been vaccinated are a gap in epidemic prevention. An ordinary elementary school can have thousands of students, that is, thousands of families are involved. There can be high-speed transmission of the virus to infiltrate the community, and it can spread rapidly between family networks, so that the elderly with low vaccination rates are at risk of infection." Kexing's age dropped to 3 years old.
He added that even if the injection is still infected, it can reduce the virus transmission time, because after the vaccinator is infected, the vaccine will reduce the amount of the virus in a short time and shorten the time for the patient to infect others.
He mentioned that although there are few research data on Kexing vaccine, nearly 100 million people in the Mainland between the ages of 3 and 17 have been vaccinated. Children aged 6 years old in Chile and 3-year-old children in Colombia have been allowed to receive Kexing vaccine. The actual data believe that children will be immunized after vaccination. The response is stronger than that of adults, and rare side effects can also be ruled out. It is believed that the vaccination of Kexing for young children is more reliable than Fubital.
As for whether the Fubitai vaccine can be lowered to 5 years old, the committee stated that it has been informed of the relevant clinical data published and the emergency use authorization status in overseas regions. It is recommended that the government and Fosun Pharma follow up on lowering the age of vaccination and request Fosun Pharma Provide relevant information.
