Is pneumonia vaccine necessary to fight

BY Carol Carey 2020-07-27

  Autumn and winter seasons are children’s cold and pneumonia-prone seasons, and there are a lot of children admitted to the hospital because of pneumonia. In recent years, due to the increasing resistance of pneumococcus to antibiotics, pneumonia has also become a persistent disease that is becoming more and more difficult to cure. As an effective way to prevent pneumonia, vaccinating children with pneumonia vaccine becomes the key, so is it necessary to pneumonia vaccine?

  Pneumonia vaccine is necessary

  Pneumonia vaccine is necessary? According to experts, Whether or not to vaccinate against pneumonia in children depends on personal wishes. For pneumococcal disease, prevention is more important than treatment. Pneumococcal pneumonia accounts for 50% of all severe pneumonia, and has the characteristics of high morbidity, high disability rate and high mortality. For pneumococcal diseases, prevention is better than cure.

   1. Both domestic and imported vaccines must undergo strict approval by the State Food and Drug Administration before being marketed, and their effectiveness and safety have been fully verified. However, most foreign vaccines have been developed for a long period of time. They have accumulated rich experience in vaccine preparation, quality inspection and quality management, and have sufficient quality assurance in terms of equipment conditions, raw material supply, and product stability.

   2. For babies who are healthier, you may not need to be vaccinated, but for babies with weaker resistance, you can consider vaccination. Experts said that the seven-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is suitable for children under 2 years of age. They are all imported from abroad. There is no domestic vaccine to replace it. After vaccination, it can effectively prevent pediatric pneumonia, meningitis, and otitis media. However, after the vaccine is given, it does not mean that 100% will not suffer from pneumonia. At present, the vaccine can only prevent pneumonia caused by pneumococcus, and has no effect on viral pneumonia and pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma chlamydia.

< p>  3. Like vaccines, vaccines may cause adverse reactions. However, vaccines are a special kind of drug. The probability of adverse reactions is far less than that of drugs. The reactions caused by injection of vaccines are mainly related to children’s physiques. Understand the contraindications of vaccines and children''s physical conditions, especially the history of allergies.
