“Can I really get a free vaccine?” “Is the timing of vaccination different for each subject?” “I am worried that the paid vaccine will run out.” The government announced the results of a survey that said “the safety of the national influenza (flu) free vaccine was suspended due to exposure to room temperature.” In addition, there is concern about the shortage of vaccines for paid vaccination, as the government decided to collect 480,000 doses (one dose) of which the temperature was not exposed or whose temperature was not confirmed.
On the 7th, some hospitals and clinics in Seoul said: “If the daily dose of the flu vaccine runs out early and after 3 pm, the vaccinators return. “I don’t know when the vaccine will run out,” he said. We have summarized questions about flu vaccines that have not been answered by the government announcement by adding reports from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and expert opinions.
“Is it okay if I really get the flu shot?
“Good. The Agency for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced that there was no problem with the safety of the vaccine for the free flu vaccination the day before. The government plans to collect 480,000 doses, which are suspected to be effective, of the 2.58 million doses that failed to maintain the proper temperature (2-8 ℃) during distribution, and not mix them with other vaccines to inoculate them ”.
– When should I be right? Is the date of each vaccination the same?
“People from 13 to 18 years old and over 62 who stopped being vaccinated will be able to get vaccinated again from the next day 12. The specific vaccination schedule for each subject will be guided through the discussion of the committee of experts in vaccination.”
“If 480,000 doses are collected, are they missing free vaccination vaccines?
“It’s the response from Chung Eun-kyung, director of disease management, that ‘I don’t think it’s too short. The 480,000 doses that the government decided to collect are expected to be replenished with 340,000 doses, a reserve amount, of the total volume of 1,259 doses that Shinsung Pharm decided to purchase and supply. Also, the flu vaccine produced this year was 29.4 million doses, an increase of more than 5 million doses from last year, and the amount of inoculation in the private sector is expected to be around 12 million doses, including 22 million doses discarded last year ”.
“Should I get a paid vaccination quickly before I get a free vaccine?
“This year’s free flu vaccination is a quadrivalent vaccine, and the products of 12 domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies are used without discrimination. Pharmaceutical companies may differ for each hospital or clinic, but there is no free, paid, or age classification. Since the safety of some free flu vaccines that have been discontinued has been confirmed to be safe, there is no need for recipients of the free vaccination to receive promptly paid vaccinations before the next 12 days. However, experts recommend vaccination for chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, even if they are not eligible for free vaccination.
“The hospital set the daily vaccination dose at 100 people. Why?
“This is a safe vaccination measure by preventing vaccines from accumulating in medical institutions during the national vaccination period. According to the ‘Management Guidelines for the Influenza Vaccination Support Project 2020-2021’, a doctor can vaccinate a maximum of 100 patients per day. At the time of the previous party, the measure was ‘recommended’, but this time the regulations have been strengthened to terminate the consignment contract if it is breached three times.
“How will the remaining 6.5 million doses of vaccine be distributed and what measures will be taken for those who have already been vaccinated?
“The 6.5 million doses that have yet to be delivered will be received from manufacturers contracted for acquisition by Shinsung Pharm, but quarantine authorities will monitor the transportation process, such as transportation vehicles, so that they can be delivered safely safe. In addition to maintaining the proper temperature, we plan to fully supplement the issues that have been a problem this time for each process. We plan to continuously monitor adverse reactions for inoculations that meet the target collection amount and determine the need for revaccination through deliberation by the Specialized Committee on Vaccination. “
“Can flu and COVID-19 be detected by symptoms?
“It is a common opinion of experts that it is difficult to distinguish just between symptoms. Depending on the virus or the person, it may appear asymptomatic, mild, or severe. In terms of comparing the flu and Corona 19, some characteristics are mentioned such as loss of taste or smell, but this is not the case for all Corona 19 patients. If you have any suspicious symptoms, such as contact with a group of high risk who is vulnerable to the virus, goes to a dense facility or has a fever, it is okay to go to a screening clinic and get tested. “
―Flu bagIf they hit you, is there any effect to prevent corona 19 and cold?
“None. The flu, Corona 19, and the cold have different viruses that cause illness. Also, flu vaccines do not protect against all flu viruses. The World Health Organization (WHO) predicts a flu virus that will prevail at the beginning of the year every year among flu vaccine viruses, and manufacturers make vaccines for three to four types of viruses. If three viruses are added, it is a “trivalent vaccine,” and if four are added virus, it is a “quaternary vaccine.” Experts suggest that ‘the prevention rate of the flu vaccine is an average of 50-60%, and that’ following the COVID-19 prevention rules, such as using a mask and wash hands is more effective than the vaccine. ‘
