Influenza vaccine is not a pandemic vaccine

BY Iris Wheatley 2020-08-02

  Recently, the pediatric outpatient clinic can be described as "People like tidewater". Our pediatric clinic’s general outpatient number hit the highest record in the hospital. One morning, 80 computer-limited numbers were all hung up, far beyond the usual time. The number of registrations (usually the ordinary number is about 30 in the morning), the outpatient doctor has no time to finish reading these patients in one morning. From the point of view of the patients, a considerable part of the children are just a common cold (not even sick) , There is not even a fever, but parents take their children to see a doctor because of the panic "a stream". This kind of panic greatly increases the chance of seeing a doctor and some unnecessary expenses, and also increases the chance of cross infection.

  Many people consulted us and said they wanted to give The purpose of the child''s influenza vaccine is to prevent pandemic influenza. In fact, the flu vaccine is not a pandemic vaccine. The flu vaccine basically does not prevent pandemic influenza.

  Although the seasonal flu vaccine cannot directly produce a protective effect, however, it is vaccinated The seasonal influenza vaccine can prevent the seasonal influenza virus infection and the complications it causes while reducing the probability of co-infection of the seasonal influenza virus and the H1N1 influenza virus, thereby reducing the risk of serious illness or even death due to mixed infections. The possibility and the risk of virus reassortment. Simultaneous vaccination with seasonal influenza vaccine is helpful to provide a reference for the differential diagnosis of seasonal influenza and H1N1 influenza when flu-like symptoms appear.

  Experts say that air transmission is the most difficult to prevent. Now we don’t have to fear it, we don’t have to wear high-protection N95 masks, and we don’t have to disinfect the air. What we have to do is to change our own Act to develop good personal hygiene habits to protect yourself. In a sense, it can be said that the best vaccine is self-discipline, self-discipline is to pay attention to hygiene, control droplets, and self-interest. "The countermeasures for preventing influenza are to improve your behavior and really establish good hygiene habits; Correct yourself and perfect yourself..."

  At present, there are no flu vaccines in many places. As for whether to vaccinate your child against influenza, I can only say that there is no harm in vaccinating. Parents decide for themselves. I only recommend the following:

  Children with the following conditions should be contraindicated or temporarily vaccinated:

  1, suffering from dermatitis, psoriasis, purulent Children with skin diseases should not be vaccinated. Wait for the skin to heal before vaccinating;

  2. Children with a history of allergies such as asthma, urticaria, severe eczema, etc. should not be vaccinated; if they are found to be allergic to eggs Children should not be vaccinated.

  3, children with body temperature over 37.5℃, underarm or swollen lymph nodes should not be vaccinated, should find out the cause of cure and then vaccinate;

  4, suffering from severe heart and liver , Children with kidney disease and active tuberculosis should not be vaccinated;

  5, children with central nervous system diseases, such as brain dysfunction, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy, hyperthermia convulsion , Children with history of convulsions, sequelae of encephalitis and other neurological diseases should not be vaccinated (excluding BCG vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine);

  6. Children with severe malnutrition, severe rickets, and congenital immune deficiency should not be vaccinated; p>

  7. Children should not be vaccinated for recent diarrhea;

  8. Common diseases such as cold and mild hypothermia can be postponed depending on the situation. Vaccination should not be used when fasting.
