Police Major General Dr. Kasem He said one side effect that is often discussed after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is myocarditis. From the collection of injection data in Thailand, it is reported that it can be found in about 2 people in 1 million people. there is almost no reporting on this matter. In the risk group, there is still no concern at this point. But if we are going to measure the benefits of the vaccine, there is more than a chance that there will be negative effects.
A co-19 vaccine is still essential to reduce the death rate.
Professor Dr Sisiopin Ciattiburanakul A representative of the Royal College of Physicians of Thailand said that all organs can be affected by COVID-19. It can cause a chain effect. to the disease that the patient is suffering from and this can lead to problems that can occur in many systems, even for people who did not have any medical conditions before. It was found that some diseases arose after recovering from COVID, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, lung disease, brain disease, which are conditions that followed COVID-19. Or it is called Long Covid, which is found in about 15 percent But in the 608 group, the disease was severe both while they were sick and after they recovered.
But, Prof. Dr. Sasisophin He said the booster dose of the COVID vaccine is still needed. Due to covid-19 Keep mutating. This makes people who have received the vaccine or had the disease a long time ago and immune. May not prevent disease Especially in risk groups Therefore, the vaccination must be increased. Current data show that the effectiveness of the booster vaccine is about 60-70 percent in preventing serious illness and death. Because the risk of serious illness and death increases several times in this group of people. This shows the importance of vaccines in reducing the burden of disease that occurs in this patient group.
“Countries around the world, including America, Europe, and Asia such as Taiwan and Singapore, are still recommending people Especially in risk groups Get a booster shot of the COVID vaccine To prevent serious illness and death for Thailand The Infectious Diseases Society of Thailand and the Royal College of Physicians Covid vaccine recommendations have been issued to the 608 group, recommending increased views. Especially if the previous vaccination was more than 1 year ago or if the last infection was more than 3-6 months, and it does not depend on whether the COVID-19 vaccine was ever received . How many came?”
Prof. Dr. Sasisophin He said that in the past year, the number of patients and deaths from COVID-19 It tends to increase at times when people travel and people are crowded and come to see it each other, especially during Songkran. and at the end of the year Depending on the nature of the epidemic, it can be assumed that At the end of the coming year must be ready to deal with Protect yourself, including wearing a mask. When you have to live in a crowded area. and vaccine booster injections are being prepared to build immunity.
However, in a few years, Vaccine covid-19 More than 13 billion injections have been given around the world. More than many vaccines that have been used for decades, according to studies of COVID and COVID-19 vaccines. Especially for mRNA vaccines, the data continues to support that Safety is high Most side effects are mild. Like other vaccines that have been used for a long time Even if living life in a new normal way, such as keeping a distance Wear a mask all the time. Avoid crowded places. Of course, it is very difficult to do, so vaccination is an important factor. Helps prevent serious illness or death in high-risk groups.
