The age for receiving the new crown vaccine has been reduced to 6 months. The government recently stated that it has been negotiating with drug manufacturers to purchase the formula for young children of Fubitai vaccine, and has received the application for the approval of Fubitai's formula for young children.
Liu Yulong, a government expert advisor and chairman of the Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases, said on a radio program this morning (22) that it is expected that the young child Fubitai can arrive in Hong Kong in October.
At present, children under the age of 5 can only be vaccinated with the Kexing vaccine. He said that he does not recommend whether to "ditch the needle" in the future, because the role of the injection is to prevent death and severe illness, and the two vaccines are equally effective after vaccination.
Although the neutralizing antibody may be higher after ditch acupuncture, it still cannot cut off the chain of transmission, and there is still a chance of infection.
Liu Yulong said on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Millennium Times" this morning that the number of vaccinations for children under the age of 3 has dropped recently, from about 1,000 injections per day to the current over 100 injections, and parents still have different concerns.
He expects that the children's Fubitai will arrive in Hong Kong in October, but parents have always had reservations about the vaccination of young children. .
If you spot the pattern, take three needles and four needles, and spot the groove needle, you will be diagnosed with Liu Yulong again.
Liu Yulong said that he did not recommend whether the "ditch needle" for children who had been treated with Kexing should be changed to Fubitai later, because no matter whether the three-injection Kexing or the three-injection Fubitai, there are sufficient pharmaceutical factory data showing that Effective prevention of severe illness and death should be respected.
Neutralizing antibodies may be higher after "groove acupuncture". Initially, it was "superstitious" that neutralizing antibodies could cut off the spread of the virus, but now it has been found that even with higher antibodies, people will still be infected.

Liu Yulong took the Queen of Denmark as an example. The 82-year-old Queen has received three doses of the new crown vaccine. She was diagnosed as early as February. After attending the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II recently, she found that she was diagnosed again. This example proves that even if the vaccination has been completed Vaccines, and once diagnosed, will actually be re-infected, but the disease is mild. "This is a means to get out of the pandemic first, not to cut the (transmission) chain."
However, he also emphasized that children in Hong Kong have just started getting vaccinated. For them, Omicron is by no means flu. The pandemic is not over yet. Only adults who have completed three or four doses of vaccination will feel Omicron like flu.
He also pointed out that the customs clearance is imminent, and urged parents to take their children for injections as soon as possible, and they must wear masks in the coming winter, because in the past two or three years, children in Hong Kong have not been infected with influenza virus, adenovirus, etc., and do not want to "pay off the debt" all at once.
Cui Junming, president of the Society of Hospital Pharmacists, said on the same program that about 16% of children aged 3 or below have had injections. Boosting the high vaccination rate; however, some people themselves do not trust the government and will not be vaccinated anyway.
Cui Junming believes that young children who have been vaccinated with Kexing can switch to Fabitax, which can produce more neutralizing antibodies and will not have more side effects. , is still negotiating delivery, and may be vaccinated in November.
It is understood that the government may purchase the 5 to 11-year-old version of Fubitong, but he believes that it is not necessary, because the market is used to diluting the adult version, and it will help consume the remaining adult version of the vaccine.
Government expert consultant Liu Yulong was diagnosed with 4 doses of vaccine and tested positive with a quick test stick. Schools were suspended for 7 days due to the outbreak, housing estates such as Bel-Air, Chai Wan, Kwong Fook Court and other housing estates tested positive for sewage 9 more people died
