Epidemic | HA's purchase of 190 doses of long-acting antibody combination
[07:00] The epidemic of new coronary pneumonia is severe, but some immunocompromised people cannot produce enough antibodies even if they are vaccinated against the new coronary pneumonia.
The HA has earlier introduced a long-acting antibody combination (LAAB) for centralized supply to the relevant people, but Lam Wai-sun, a specialist in infection and infectious diseases, believes that the dose currently purchased by the HA is not sufficient to cover extremely high-risk patients. With the high number of confirmed cases, this group of people will face a greater risk of infection.
The HA replied that the HA is continuing to procure long-acting antibody combinations for patients to use, and will gradually arrange to assess whether the patients are suitable for the use of the relevant preventive drugs.
It is understood that the Hospital Authority will provide 3,000 doses of long-acting antibody combinations in late October, and other solid organ transplants, malignant tumors and kidney dialysis patients will also have the opportunity to be vaccinated.
Lin Weixun said that the long-acting antibody combination can only provide protection for 6 to 12 months, so people who are immunocompromised should still be vaccinated before receiving the long-acting antibody combination.
