Check before getting the ‘COVID’ vaccine

–

The “Covid” vaccine is imminent, but it comes with a lot of questions. Let’s check your body and clear up any doubts before you get a real “vaccine” soon.

Story progress COVID-19 vaccine This is both good news and a question that many people want to know. When the vaccine, this hope, will fly to Thailand. Or simple question Like a curious person “Before I put the” COVID “vaccine in it How do we prepare for it? ”

Of course, the “vaccine” that entered Thailand, the first lot. Must be in the hands of public health already But for private agencies, it depends on the time the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will allow private hospitals across the country. It can only be used officially, so during the countdown waiting for the green light from the FDA, let’s try to understand the doubts about preparing for the “COVID” vaccine. Dr. Somchai Leelasiriwong Doctor of Dermatology And advisor to risk managers Rama IX Hospital

“Who ”is eligible for vaccination? COVID-19

“In the beginning, every vaccine Can be injected to strong people aged 18 years, but if a woman “You must not be pregnant” because in the past trials There has never been a trial of injection in people under the age of 18, or in children, or in pregnant women. So basically There is still no vaccination policy for this group of people. “

Before going to get vaccinated How do I prepare?

“The COVID-19 vaccination This is the same as any other vaccination, if your body is normal and healthy. We do not need to prepare anything special. Therefore, before the injection should check readiness that we do not have a fever. Not sick Or without any flu symptoms Can inject it. “

And if he is sick with a serious illness Will be eligible for vaccination COVID-19 or not

“According to the news we see that the incidence of death after vaccination is quite high. Therefore, there are recommendations from the Food and Drug Administration or the FDA in “some countries” that people who are in very frail, really old, or have serious illnesses such as respiratory disease. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, advanced cancer should not be injected, but this is only reported in some countries. Not yet a recommendation from the World Health Organization. For the whole world For in Thailand, it would have to follow the information from the FDA on a daily basis. “

Vaccination COVID-19 Will there be any side effects?

“Usually, most vaccinations There will be side effects that are common anyway. Which is a common symptom Go of flu symptoms such as fever, muscle pain Or pain at the injection site Including having symptoms of fatigue As for other side effects Or with vaccine allergies As reported, there are quite a few Which the probability of occurrence is about 10-20 people in a million people, it is not very high Slightly different from conventional vaccines But if the overall danger or risk is too much, when the FDA or FDA should immediately suspend the COVID-19 vaccination. “

And from the news that there are deaths after vaccination COVID-19 What are the causes?

“The issue of getting the COVID-19 vaccine has caused severe allergic reactions and death in the elderly. In some countries that have been reported This is still very preliminary and in some places it is reported that the risk of allergic reactions is greater than conventional vaccines. But still no one can answer that these deaths Is it caused by direct vaccination with COVID-19? And we have to understand that All kinds of vaccines, even the common influenza vaccine, which we get every year. There is always a chance for a severe allergic reaction or an allergic reaction. But if you look at the overall picture Vaccination if possible Would definitely be better than not getting vaccinated “

Why is vaccination needed? COVID-19 “second needle”

“Actually, the COVID-19 comes in both a single dose and two injections, but most of the vaccines we know are two injections. “The second injection will stimulate the existing immune system. To get high faster. ”Simply put, one dose of vaccination can stimulate the immune system to a certain extent. But until the landscape will rise until we are confident that the disease can actually prevent It will take months. Therefore the second vaccination By spanning 4-6 weeks, it will stimulate the immune system from the first vaccine. To come up at a level that is high enough to prevent disease faster enough “

Praram 9 Hospital is now ready to provide vaccination services. COVID-19 yet?

“For the Rama IX Hospital itself We are in the preparatory stage. And we are more than waiting for the green light from the government or the Ministry of Health. Which when the Rama 9 Hospital received a green light We are ready to serve everyone immediately.

Even now we don’t know the exact time. About when the Hope vaccine will be fully injected But the authors believe that important information obtained from Dr. Somchai and Praram 9 Hospital Is probably enough to some extent That will allow everyone to explore themselves Are you ready enough for the vaccination? When ready We came to sit and wait for the “green light” from the government at the same time. Can get together. “
