Doctors confirm that all vaccines are safe. Thailand must not be a guinea pig Around the world after 100 million doses, the trend of infection has decreased clearly.
On February 9 at the Ministry of Public Health (Ministry of Public Health) Dr. Wiwat Rojanapitthayakorn, qualified National Communicable Diseases Committee Mention the coronavirus vaccine 2019 or COVID-19 as the issue of COVID-19. That interested in the world Inevitable about vaccines Especially countries in America and Europe that can not control the situation of the disease. Causing many deaths Therefore had to rely on vaccines, which in the past 1 month saw some hope of the vaccine The infection rate is clearly declining. This happens from vaccines that are given to people. Around the world, approximately 100 million doses have been vaccinated.
Dr. Wiwat said the main objective of vaccination is to protect myself from getting sick. Especially reducing illnesses in high-risk groups such as healthcare workers, the elderly, and the secondary objective is preventing disease transmission The next thing is to restore the social system, the economic system, and all vaccines must be safe. And all kinds that are imported into Thailand We did not inject the first one. Thailand is not a guinea pig Has another country injected before if it has problems or doesn’t work? Must stop the injection to prevent the problem of cost and opportunity cost. If there is really a vaccine It must be useful and effective.
“Everyone thinks that soon If vaccine production is comprehensive, COVID-19 is not a public health problem. It’s not a social problem any longer Outlook of the disease when vaccination was initiated The picture becomes clear in almost all countries that are vaccinated. The infection rate and disease severity decreased. In Thailand, although there is no vaccine yet, in the past 2 weeks, it has a downward trend as well. This is due to the cooperation of the people and all sides, ”said Dr. Wiwat.
Dr. Wiwat said questions about the safety of the vaccine. Must reiterate that the COVID vaccine Occurred as quickly as possible in world history Because other diseases than vaccines are available, they must be released for a while. But there is a vaccine for COVID in one year of the outbreak. From today’s trends It can be said that the vaccine is safe. But still not 100% sure, still can not answer that it is safe for everyone because some people are allergic to the substances in the vaccine. But people who are allergic to certain drugs Does not mean that the vaccine cannot be vaccinated If in the care of a doctor it can be injected and it is safe, therefore vaccines are now very safe. Recently there has been information on how to protect the loser. I can say that the vaccine is safe. No matter what brand
“It’s hard to say which vaccine brand is best. Because each area May be suitable for certain vaccines Scientifically, we have to assess which vaccines are best suited. And we see other countries injecting and being comfortable Because if it works in a country that is close to us If they get results, we get results, ”Dr. Wiwat said, and that the vaccine is currently 80-90 percent effective, which exceeds 50 percent in many countries.
Dr. Wiwat said the vaccine development has not stopped. Some companies do not need to inject 2 needles. However, for those who have had an infection before they will repeat injections or need to inject or not, they think they should be injected because they do not know what strain it is. But there is a condition that if the infection is less than 90 days, the vaccine will be very effective. Because the body is resistant to the vaccine, the recommendation is to repeat the injection after 90 days of being infected.
“Once vaccinated Infection can enter the body Can be infected but not disease Or born, but not severe People who get vaccinated when they are infected. Will spread the disease But less infection in the body Has a low chance of transmitting infection, therefore, when vaccinated, must be prevented Act as if we are still infected and can spread the disease Still need to wear a mask Not that the injection already has a certificate Can go anywhere, “Dr. Wiwat said.
Dr. Wiwat said that some people flirt with that Have been vaccinated and don’t wear a mask We don’t know He actually injected or not, so we must prevent disease. Until there is information that Will be able to return to normal society Can travel Restore the economy as usual We hope we can find answers after vaccines are available in many countries.
