However, as the Hong Kong government recently announced the approval of the infant version (6 months to 4 years old) and the children version (5 years old to 11 years old) Fubitai vaccine for emergency use in Hong Kong, it is believed that young children will have vaccine options in the near future.

The second dose of the vaccine will be vaccinated on May 11, and the 6 months to 5 years old will have to wait for the Hong Kong government to open the injection program.
However, the joint scientific committee of the Centre for Health Protection will discuss shortening the interval between vaccinations for children in the afternoon, so that the second dose of the vaccine may not need to be given a month apart.
If you are vaccinated with Sinovac, the first dose of the vaccine should be vaccinated on November 13 at the latest and the second dose of the vaccine should be vaccinated on December 11 at the latest; those who are vaccinated with Fubitai vaccine should receive the first dose on next Sunday (16th) at the latest.

2. Can children who have been vaccinated with Sinovac vaccines receive ditch injections in the future?
At present, the Joint Scientific Committee of the Centre for Health Protection has not provided any guidelines on whether young children can have "ditch acupuncture". However, Liu Yulong, a government expert advisor and chairman of the Scientific Committee on Vaccine Preventable Diseases, and the WHO do not recommend ditch acupuncture, saying that the study indicates that whether it is two injections Kexing still has two injections of Fubitai, and the efficiency of preventing severe cases in hospital has reached 90%.
Cui Junming, president of the Hong Kong Society of Hospital Pharmacists, also pointed out that although a study in Chile has found that children aged 3 to 5 years old are given Kexing for the first two shots and Fubitai for the third shot, which can push up antibody levels, but it is still not recommended for young children. It is believed that the general three-dose vaccine should be the same one.

3. What are the common side effects of vaccination for children?
Common side effects are needle discomfort or pain or even slight burning.
Although the use of messenger ribonucleic acid technology for the Fubitai vaccine may lead to the occurrence of myocarditis, the results obtained by the Joint Scientific Committee of the Center for Health Protection through data collection earlier found that as long as the first and second doses of the Fubitai vaccine are administered Extending the time to 12 weeks or more can greatly reduce the chance of developing myocarditis, so parents do not need to worry too much.
4. Do young children have to be vaccinated on their thighs?
Experts recommend that children and adolescents receive the Falbitac vaccine by intramuscular injection in the anterolateral and middle part of the thigh. The principle is to worry that if the vaccination site is close to the heart, myocarditis may occur, but if you choose to inject it in the upper arm, you can also .
As for the vaccination of Sinovac, it is recommended that children and adolescents be injected intramuscularly in the upper arm, and the medical staff will arrange the injection in the thigh for young children in need.
