衛生局說明,本年度新冠疫苗已全面升級為新世代疫苗XFG,所含抗原劑量為前一代疫苗的五分之一,實證資料也顯示接種後有發燒及任何局部不良反應的比例約減少一半;且臨床研究顯示其可誘發近2倍的抗體反應,較前一代疫苗提供更佳的免疫保護力。
衛生局提醒,疫苗接種後約需2週才能建立較完整的免疫保護力,尤其65歲以上長者、幼兒及慢性病患者等高風險族群,更應把握接種時機,及早建立保護力。為提升接種便利性,本市於10月21日至25日規劃開設37場流感及新冠疫苗社區接種站,提供民眾就近接種服務,鼓勵符合資格者踴躍利用。
衛生局呼籲,尚未接種新冠疫苗的長者、幼兒及其他符合資格的民眾,應把握接種時機,儘早完成疫苗接種。符合資格者可攜帶健保卡及相關身分證明文件,前往全市400多家疫苗合約醫療院所或社區接種站施打;相關接種資格、接種站及合約醫療院所資訊,可至流感及新冠疫苗合約院所專區查詢。
