近期天氣轉涼,呼吸道病毒將更加活躍,疾管署調整並放寬幼兒新冠肺炎及流感公費疫苗接種條件。

近期天氣轉涼,呼吸道病毒也將更加活躍,疾管署將自11月5日起放寬幼兒接種新冠肺炎公費疫苗條件,年滿6個月以上至未滿5歲、今年10月前曾接種1劑新冠肺炎疫苗的幼兒也有公費疫苗可打,感染科醫師也提醒家長,若符合公費資格,不要忘了帶孩子接種2劑流感疫苗。
自今年10月起,幼兒公費新冠肺炎疫苗接種條件調整為「年滿6個月至未滿6歲,且過去未曾接種過新冠肺炎疫苗幼兒」,其中年滿6個月以上至未滿5歲的幼兒須接種2劑、2劑間隔28天以上,滿5歲至未滿6歲則接種1劑。
疾管署副署長林明誠表示,自11月5日起,開放「今年10月開打前,僅接種過1劑新冠疫苗」且「年滿6個月以上至未滿5歲幼兒」,也可公費接種1劑本季新冠肺炎疫苗。
疾管署傳染病防治諮詢會召集人李秉穎則提醒,學齡前幼兒為流感重症高危險族群,未曾接種流感疫苗的6個月至未滿9歲兒童、出生至今年10月前曾接種1劑流感疫苗的6個月至未滿3歲兒童,都應接種2劑流感疫苗,且間隔至少28天(4週)。
李秉穎強調,未滿9歲要打2劑流感疫苗是國際共同建議,且2025年已有研究綜合分析指出,普通流感保護效果約50至60%,6個月到未滿9歲兒童打2劑疫苗的保護效果較僅接種1劑高15%,且未滿3歲幼兒接種2劑流感疫苗的保護效果更較僅接種1劑高28%,呼籲家長千萬不要忘記讓孩子打第2劑流感疫苗。
