〔記者許麗娟/高雄報導〕時序進入9月後,流感即將進入流行期,高雄市衛生局今(11)日指出,今年截至9月7日,全市公費肺炎鏈球菌疫苗已接種2萬8885劑,其中65歲以上長者完成率達40.2%,呼籲符合公費資格市民儘速前往合約院所接種,降低併發重症風險

衛生福利部疾病管制署自今年8月10日起增加提供「21價結合型肺炎鏈球菌疫苗(PCV21)」,併同原有「20價(PCV20)」全面取代舊型疫苗,兩種皆為「一劑搞定」且無優劣之分的新型疫苗。

請繼續往下閱讀...

高雄市衛生局指出,成人肺炎鏈球菌疫苗公費對象為65歲(含)以上長者、55至64歲原住民,以及19至64歲侵襲性肺炎鏈球菌感染症(IPD)高風險對象,可前往合約醫療院所接種1劑PCV20或PCV21公費新型肺鏈疫苗。

衛生局說明,若民眾過去已完成「PCV13或PCV15+PPV23」接種,或已接種PCV20、PCV21,均視為已完整接種肺炎鏈球菌疫苗,無須再追加PCV20或PCV21。另針對19至64歲IPD高風險對象,如於65歲前已完成PCV13或PCV15及PPV23接種,年滿65歲後,於與前一劑疫苗間隔至少5年,即可再追加接種1劑PCV20或PCV21。

根據衛生局監測資料顯示,今年截至8月31日全市累計14例IPD確定病例,其中3例死亡;確定病例中以65歲以上民眾約占5成為多。由於肺炎鏈球菌能引起多種侵襲性疾病,包括肺炎、敗血症、腦膜炎等,症狀因感染部位而異,好發於嬰幼兒及老年人,全面升級為新型疫苗將可提高接種完成率,有效降低感染後發生重症及死亡風險。

Nutritionists point out that to reduce triglycerides, we need to pay attention to four major dietary blind spots. Just cutting out oil is not enough.

Nutritionist Zeng Jianming emphasized that high triglycerides do not necessarily come from excessive fat intake. Sugar, refined starch, alcohol heat and excess total calories can also cause the liver to synthesize triglycerides. He listed four common dietary blind spots: excessive refined starch, excessive fruit intake, occasional heavy drinking, and normal weight but fatty liver or insulin resistance. He recommended adjustments in four directions: controlling sugar and starch, limiting alcohol, adjusting starch quality and quantity, and combining weight loss exercises.

Taiwan expands publicly funded nine-valent HPV vaccine vaccination to all junior high school students, ranking first in East Asia for both men and women

Since September 2014, Taiwan has expanded the scope of the publicly funded nine-valent HPV vaccine to all junior high school students, both men and women, becoming the first country in East Asia to provide boys with a complete two-dose vaccine. In the first year, approximately 213,000 junior high school students benefited, with the first-dose vaccination rate reaching 81.6% for boys and 91.9% for girls. Information from the Ministry of Health and Welfare shows that HPV can cause a variety of cancers. Experts emphasize that the vaccine can prevent more than 90% of cancers related to highly carcinogenic types. They also call on parents to sign the consent form as arranged by the school, do not fast before vaccination, and observe for 15 minutes after vaccination.

Pharmacists remind: Work cannot replace exercise. Leisure exercise reduces the risk of dementia by 24%, but physical labor in the workplace increases by 20%.

Pharmacist Jian Shimin cited a comprehensive analysis by "Lancet Public Health" and pointed out that leisure sports can reduce the risk of dementia by about 24%, while high physical labor in the workplace is associated with a 20% increase in the risk of dementia. She explained that work labor lacks structural recovery, long-term static load and psychological pressure, which cannot replace planned and structured exercise, and provided suggestions for supplementing exercise for the five major working groups.
