\nDr. Su said that based on past experience, the peak season of influenza from December to January may be as severe as the peak season in summer, with many new cases and even deaths. He urged everyone to be careful and prevent pneumonia. He explained that pneumonia is mostly caused by pneumococcus, and this bacterium is mainly transmitted by droplets produced by patients' coughs and sneezes. Influenza virus, for the weak, seems to be a double attack. Symptoms of pneumonia include fever and cough, similar to a cold, so it is easy to ignore, but pneumococcus can invade other organs of the body and cause serious complications, such as otitis media caused by invasion of the ear, meningitis caused by the upper brain, blood can cause Acute hypotension can be fatal in severe cases. Pneumonia has the second highest death rate in Hong Kong, which cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n
Dr. Su specially reminded that in fact, the home is also a high-risk place for pneumonia transmission, and even doctors will be "successful". "Our doctors often laugh and say that we will take special protective measures during the consultation, but often become lax after returning home. As a result, there is a chance of being infected by sick family members. In fact, everyone should be vigilant at all times." He pointed out that in addition to maintaining personal hygiene, one of the most effective preventive methods is vaccination. "13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine can target the common serotype, which can effectively prevent the invasive pneumonia mentioned above; while the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine covers multiple serotypes, and the general public can receive two vaccines to obtain comprehensive protection.\u201d Dr. Su reminded that elderly people over 65 years old , especially those with long-term diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, need to be vaccinated to prevent complications. The elderly who are vaccinated for the first time can receive the 13-valent conjugate vaccine first, and then receive the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine one year later.<\/p>\n
Dr. Su said that the elderly, young children, and those who have recovered from pneumonia are more difficult to resist the double attack of pneumonia and flu due to their weak resistance. , and sometimes when checking for them, it is found that the blood oxygen content and lung function are not satisfactory, and the situation is serious.\u201d According to research data, patients with long-term illnesses over 65 years old are more likely to suffer from pneumonia than others, such as diabetes patients are three times higher, Asthma patients are 5 times higher, heart disease patients are 3 to 4 times higher, etc. They should be vaccinated early to maintain their health.<\/p>\n
Dr. Su shared that some elders will be "disobedient" because they are afraid of injections, and their children should try hard and soft to encourage them to get vaccinated. severity and complications.\u201d Starting in October this year, seniors aged 65 or older with chronic diseases can receive government subsidies to receive 13-valent conjugate vaccines, which will hopefully make more seniors willing to take the vaccine.<\/p>\n
