The chairman of the subcommittee agreed and asked the working group to speed up the meeting. To prepare for the injection to meet the original schedule is the first phase with limited vaccines from February to April. The next phase with more vaccines will be adapted to a more flexible plan. However, vaccines are one of the tools to prevent disease. But must be coupled with wearing a mask Wash your hands and keep your distance. Proven to prevent and have no side effects
“Vaccine registration opening Will focus on the risk groups first Which requires the working group to discuss how to open it But initially it was a voluntary injection Therefore must open for registrationSaid Dr. Opas.
Asst. Prof. (Special) Thawee said there are two types of risk groups: At risk Refers to youth or people without any underlying disease and At risk of death Elderly people with underlying disease That when sick, a breathing tube must be used, using the resources of more than 20 healthcare workers, the cost of treatment is more than 1 million baht per person.
Prof. Yong said the aim of the vaccine is Prevent the severity of the disease that is both able to prevent infection at all. Or some do not protect against infection, but prevent disease, such as diphtheria vaccines and those that do not protect against infection or disease. But reduce hospitalization (hospital), reduce mortality For the COVID-19 vaccine Is new, still can’t answer that How much can be prevented But the aim is to reduce hospital sleep and mortality. Until the answer is clear that Can prevent infection Therefore, it is more aimed at risk groups. However Do not use in people under the age of 18 and pregnant women.

But in the case of the COVID-19 vaccine Items for the working group to discuss first
Assoc. Prof. (Special) Thawee said there had to be a committee that was specialized to find out what happened after the injection and had to investigate urgently. But if injected into 10 million people, side effects are not related But something must happen Therefore, a committee must be established to oversee this matter.
Prof. Yong said that the adverse reactions and side effects must be distinguished, in fact, the new vaccine. Anything can happen, but must be recorded and investigated that Is it related to the vaccine? If someone is vaccinated and walks into the tube Must find that the vaccine injected may cause dizziness Then fall the pipe or not Or may be tripped, so the first injection in a foreign country will be recorded. Even of modern na Injection and then have a distorted mouth. AstraZeneca Have meningitis But when the investigation found that in England There is an incidence of spinal cord infarction in ordinary people. And people who got the sham vaccine also had this condition. Therefore must follow up for at least 1-2 years
“We have to admit that The vaccine is used in emergency situations. Disease prevention must be weighed above the dangers posed by disease. Must admit that Is it more useful? Until all information is good, it is said that this vaccine is normally used in children. But still have to wait for a period In the first injection, side effects must be monitored and examined, ”said Prof. Yong. At least injected and hurt Even injecting sham is still painful. And most of them are local side effects. Some parts have a fever The side effects are severe, for example, in Canada, injecting millions of doses. The potential side effect of a severe allergic reaction is known, while Pfizer says the potential for a severe allergic reaction is 9 or 10 in a million doses, which is similar to other vaccines that may be allergic to the ingredients it contains. Must sit and observe symptoms in the hospital for at least 30 minutes in order to prevent allergies and correct them promptly.
