〔記者羅欣貞/屏東報導〕秋冬進入呼吸道疾病好發期,流感、新冠及其他呼吸道病毒傳播風險隨之增加,公費流感及新冠疫苗接種對象已從本(11)月2日起擴增50至64歲無高風險慢性病成人,屏縣各衛生所將於11月7日(星期六)、11月13日(星期五)晚間及11月14日(星期六)提供疫苗接種服務。
依據衛生福利部疾病管制署監測資料顯示,國內流感疫情仍處流行期,截至年本月3日,屏東縣分別累計79例流感併發重症及62例新冠併發重症病例。經分析,重症病例以高齡者為主,且多數未接種本季流感或新冠疫苗,顯示高風險族群應及早接種疫苗,以降低感染後發生重症的風險。
屏縣府衛生局表示,由於流感及新冠病毒持續變異,今年公費流感與新冠疫苗均採用符合當前病毒流行趨勢的疫苗株,提升保護效益,公費接種對象本月2日起擴增50至64歲無高風險慢性病成人,今年疫苗接種情形踴躍,呼籲符合公費接種資格且尚未接種的民眾,儘速前往衛生所或合約院所完成接種,「左流右新、護肺顧心」,還能賺健康幣。
衛生局為便利民眾接種,已規劃衛生所於11月7日(星期六)、11月13日(星期五)晚間及11月14日(星期六)提供疫苗接種服務,方便平日不便前往接種的民眾利用假日及夜間時段完成接種。衛生局提醒,疫苗數量有限,請符合資格的民眾把握接種機會,及早建立保護力。相關接種資訊可至屏東縣政府衛生局官網(https://www.ptshb.gov.tw/)查詢。

Xiao Yang, vice president of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, said at a press conference of the Hunan Health Commission that the number of diabetic patients in China has reached 233 million and they are getting younger. The key to preventable and controllable diabetes lies in the word "morning", and clarifies three major misunderstandings about dietary substitution drugs, normal blood sugar withdrawal, and insulin addiction.

Director of the Department of Disease Control and Prevention Luo Yijun announced that the first year of implementation of my country's national antimicrobial resistance management action plan was "3 good and 2 bad". Superbug-related indicators all meet the standards, but antibiotic consumption increased by 10% compared with the base year, and the decline in ICU-related infections did not meet expectations. The main reason is speculated to be related to the post-epidemic immune debt and the aging population.

Seven major medical groups, including the Taiwan Medical Management Association, issued a statement opposing the 22nd amendment to the "Elderly Welfare Act" pushed by Blue and White. They believe that the amendment destroys the spirit of health insurance payment and risk sharing, and may lead to the counter-effect of "rich elders being exempted from paying, and disadvantaged elders missing out." The group calls on the Executive Yuan and the Legislative Yuan to face up to their doubts, invite the medical community, the National Health Insurance Association, actuarial and financial scholars, the elderly and youth groups to discuss and hold public hearings to re-examine the subsidy objects, financial resources and supporting packages carefully, and not to make hasty laws.
