高端疫苗(6547)開發之腸病毒71型疫苗,今天(9/25)正式在越南開始接種,透過當地大型疫苗接種體系VNVC(Vietnam Vaccine Joint Stock Company)在越南全國建立近300個疫苗接種中心,快速強化社區防護網。開打首日,VNVC最新公布,包括河內、胡志明市、峴港、芹苴及其他地區,已湧入數萬筆接種登記,其中3歲以下幼兒約占70%,反映越南家庭對EV71疫苗的高度需求。
高端是第一家進入越南公共體系的腸病毒疫苗,也是目前唯一一家,隨著9月25日在越南正式開始接種,高端疫苗合作夥伴Substipharm Biologics與越南疫苗接種體系VNVC,先於9/21、9/22兩天,在胡志明市與河內接連舉辦兩場EV71科學研討會,邀集台越兒童感染症與新生兒科專家,從疾病負擔、疫苗臨床實證到台灣實際接種經驗進行交流,為EV71疫苗在越南的正式落地建立科學與臨床基礎。
兩場研討會分別邀請台灣兒童感染症專家黃立民教授及邱南昌教授,向越南醫界分享台灣從EV71疫苗臨床研究、上市到實際接種與後續追蹤的經驗;黃立民表示,自2023年8月開始導入EV71疫苗,截至2026年9月,台灣已使用超過60萬劑,在2個月至未滿6歲兒童族群中的接種涵蓋率約為20%。監測資料顯示,自疫苗開始導入後,在重症手足口病病例中尚未檢出EV71;而在疫苗上市以前,EV71曾在重症病例中占有相當比例。
高端腸病毒71型疫苗於2023年取得台灣藥證,並於2026年3月取得越南藥品管理局核發之上市許可,今年8月首批疫苗出口越南,9月進一步進入實際市場導入階段,開始讓孩童接種。
而VNVC成立於2017年,目前在越南全國建立近300個疫苗接種中心、近300座疫苗冷藏庫、超過3,000個診療及接種站,並配置超過1萬2000名醫師、護理師及相關專業人員;其冷鏈體系涵蓋河內、峴港及胡志明市大型倉儲中心,以及專業冷鏈運輸車隊,形成從疫苗儲存、配送到末端接種的全國性網絡。

Dietitian Lao Gu cited a large-scale prospective study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine and pointed out that compared with people who hardly move, those with the highest daily activity reduce the risk of 13 specific cancers by about 26%; compared with those who walk 5,000 steps a day, walking 7,000 steps reduces the risk by about 11%, and walking 9,000 steps reduces the risk by about 16%. There is no significant relationship between walking speed and cancer risk, indicating that total activity may be more important than speed.
