The government announced that the minimum age for Kexing's new crown vaccination has been lowered from 3 years to 6 months, and parents can make online appointments for injections for children between 6 months and 3 years old from today (4th).
Su Jinghuan, co-chairman of the Paediatrics Coordination Committee of the Hospital Authority, said on a radio program this morning that the epidemic has heated up in recent months, and there has been an increase in hospital admissions and critically ill cases of children. After the epidemic, the condition can worsen within a few hours. "Seeking a doctor quickly may not help much. The most important thing is to prevent infection."

Su Jinghuan said on the radio program "Millennium Times" that the epidemic has risen in recent months, the number of community cases has increased, the number of children admitted to hospital has increased, and the number of critically ill cases has also increased. The situation is worrying. Convulsions and other conditions, there are currently three hospitalized children need intensive treatment, "actually there are too many, one child is too much."
Children's condition can worsen in advance, parents urge parents to vaccinate young children
He mentioned that most of the critically ill children are under the age of 3. They used to be in good health, but because there was no vaccine available in the past, they have a high chance of becoming critically ill after infection.
The condition of infected children can also deteriorate within a few hours. "Seeking a doctor quickly may not help, the most important thing is to prevent infection." Parents are urged to make an appointment as soon as possible if they want to vaccinate their young children.

Children between 6 months and 3 years old can get injections after one month of recovery from the virus
He added that after a child is infected, the most comfortable environment for recuperating is to stay at home. If there is no high fever, confusion, difficulty breathing, etc., parents can let the child stay at home for observation.
If young children are infected, they can be vaccinated one month after recovery; children over 3 years old who have been infected after one shot can be vaccinated after three months of recovery.
After young children are vaccinated, the side effects are similar to those of older children, including needle pain and mild fever. "The benefits of injections outweigh the side effects." As for some rare side effects, such as allergic reactions, they should be observed after vaccination. Myocarditis is less likely to occur in infants and young children vaccinated with Sinovac vaccine, so parents do not need to worry too much.
However, if a young child develops a high fever after being vaccinated, there may be other reasons besides the vaccine, and you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Recommended to be given with seasonal flu vaccine
Su Jinghuan mentioned that because children under the age of 3 have a very low chance of contracting influenza in the past two years, they may not be resistant to influenza virus, and urged parents to bring their children to receive seasonal influenza vaccines, which can be administered at the same time as the new crown vaccine. Vaccination does not need to be separated for two days.
