〔記者許麗娟/高雄報導〕高雄市今年累計流感併發重症204例,其中52例死亡,又以65歲以上長者占64.2%最多,因應高齡長者免疫功能退化及流感重症風險,衛生福利部疾病管署今年首度採購20萬餘劑加強型流感疫苗,優先免費提供長照及安養機構65歲以上住民接種,高雄採購2萬劑,全市74家機構已逾7成長輩接種。

高雄市衛生局指出,加強型流感疫苗可強化高齡族群防護,高雄市74家機構共有1758名65歲以上住民,已有1316人選擇接種加強型流感疫苗,接種占比達74.86%。同時呼籲,符合資格但尚未接種的機構長者應儘速施打,及早建立保護力,降低流感感染後重症及死亡風險。

衛生局表示,疾管署今年首度導入高劑量及含佐劑兩類加強型流感疫苗,分別透過增加4倍抗原劑量或添加佐劑,提升免疫反應,相較標準型疫苗,預防重症的保護力可提高約25至30%,有助降低高齡長者感染後發生嚴重併發症的風險。

高雄市流感疫苗截至目前累計接種逾51.7萬人次,新冠疫苗接種逾16萬人次;但65歲以上長者流感疫苗接種率38.33%,新冠疫苗接種率21.79%,仍有不少高風險長者尚未完成接種。衛生局呼籲,社區長者應儘速接種公費標準型流感疫苗,此外,11月2日起公費流感及新冠疫苗將開放第2階段接種,新增50至64歲無高風險慢性病成人,符合資格民眾可上網「流感及新冠疫苗合約院所專區(https://gov.tw/SWK)」查詢接種地點。
