〔記者羅碧/台北報導〕「左流右新」10月1 日起開打,迄今逾半個月,疾管署統計,流感疫苗接種已破315萬劑,較去年同期增加15.8%;新冠疫苗累計接種98萬多劑,增幅達39.7%。其中,醫事人員流感疫苗接種率已達55.5%,符合接種資格民眾應及早接種,以加強防護。
疾管署副署長林明誠指出,疾管署統計,今年10月1日至16日,流感疫苗累計接種315萬1137劑,較去年同期接種272萬1826劑多;全國65歲以上長者接種率達32.7%,其中屏東縣42.1%最高,彰化縣、連江縣均為42.0%,嘉義縣40.7%,上述4縣市均超過4成;澎湖縣則為39.8%,也在領先群。
學齡前幼兒方面,全國流感疫苗接種率為31.8%,以屏東縣41.3%最高,澎湖縣及嘉義縣均為40.3%,緊跟在後。
林明誠表示,在所有優先接種族群中,醫事人員流感疫苗接種率已達55.5%,「這些面對疫病的專業人員接種率都衝上來,民眾還有什麼好猶豫。」
對於有人認為醫事人員經常接觸病人,染疫風險較高,林明誠說,這是事實,但不代表不去醫院、診所就安全。民眾在社區、車站、捷運、教會、健身房、教室、餐廳等場所,都可能接觸病原,接種疫苗提高免疫力是最有效的防護。他也提醒,正確洗手,在密閉空間或人多的地方戴上口罩,都可以降低感染風險。
新冠疫苗方面,10月1日至16日累計接種98萬8347劑,較去年同期70萬7347劑增加39.7%。
