Since late last month, the Ministry of Health announced that China’s A stream entering the second wave of the epidemic period of high, while the swirling flow of the vaccine suddenly became a focus of attention of the people. A flow of the face of a menacing epidemic, the vaccine has taught us a great hope; However, when faced with such a new vaccine, people would not hesitate: the fight, or not to fight? It became the headaches … …
21-year-old Minmin Shenyang a university student about to graduate next year, and now when the student teachers in a school in Dalian.
End of last month, overwhelming stream of news reports that a second wave arrived, causing an uproar in the whole country. Each report is almost all that the school is a high mass flow, the end, Minmin felt increasingly heavy atmosphere of panic. At the same time, a flow of the vaccine in immunization across the country, but because the vaccine is limited, priority is given to “key people” Vaccination. As the school’s “quasi-staff”, Minmin fortunate to stop into this “priority vaccination groups” team. Then Minmin feel extremely lucky indeed.
The vaccine safe? Fight? Or not to fight?
In the meantime, Minmin began to hear a lot about the vaccine argument, someone says “is a newly developed vaccine out, and do not know that there are not effective, you have these people actually used as guinea pigs for it!”, It was also said, “This new vaccine, what side anybody’s guess.” So, when the notice hair down and Health Bureau said that afternoon a few days will be organized to the teachers who come to the school vaccination, the Minmin can not help but began to hesitate a.
Fight? Or not to fight? 1:00 She is really difficult to be determined.
Make your call, worried that the vaccine is just developed out of the use of immaturity, fear of adverse reactions to the body can cause serious injury, or even heard of a stream flow of the vaccine is a virus, it not to play into their own so that they are infected A stream?
Do not fight it, they worry about accidentally infected with the 10000 A flow of how to do, it will be a stream of human life, however, vaccination can be dangerous than more! Minmin a daily operational needs of the students, and students are not being played vaccine, if not because of their vaccination infected with the A stream was transmitted to the student how to do? Moreover, countries were assigned to a flow of vaccines in Liaoning only a few hundred thousand copies, which is very limited, very Jingui places, not to fight Qibushibai white waste?
Comprehensive consideration, or determination: to play!
Fight or not fight, they can only choose one. Then, Minmin began to frantically search the Internet information on a stream just want to know whether the vaccine labeled as dangerous as people say, online there are various claims, most say there will be a slight adverse reactions, such as the injection site appears red, swollen, pain, tenderness, and itching, usually does not require special handling, will soon disappear; few serious adverse reactions occur, but also reported that injecting a flow of vaccine adverse reactions and others before the fight is the same as the ordinary flu vaccine. Minmin think: Since a lot of people to fight influenza vaccine each year, they have nothing to do, playing a flow of vaccine should also be okay … …
Comprehensive consideration down, Minmin finally made up my mind to fight this “very rare” in a flow of vaccine. Play the day before the vaccine, Minmin heart very excited, and she was almost tempted to tell the world: “I have signed, and tomorrow we should fight a flow of a vaccine! … …” In fact, behind the subtext is “if I have any eventuality , we must remember to save me! “- much of a” Kangkaijiuyi “flavor.
“Once the vaccine, determined to fight, I have no other psychological burden, but a bit afraid of injections when the pain.” Hearty and generous character of Minmin said with a smile, “that the two are not worried about it, in fact is a lie ; but the thought of playing after I no longer fear the vaccine less scary a stream, the heart suddenly felt much better. ”
Two days after vaccination, without any adverse reaction
Before injection, Minmin received an A stream of vaccination informed consent form, the above describes a variety of flow of the vaccine, role, contraindications, adverse reactions, as well as for attention, if they agree on the signature inoculation did not agree not to sign. After a careful look at Minmin signed his name. To the injection before the Health Department staff also asked in detail about the health status of Minmin, is there any substance to the allergy, has not played within a month of other vaccines, etc., to make sure that no contraindications and we have to give her vaccination .
“In fact, injections do not hurt,” Minmin said, “Once on shore, after the staff asked me to rest there for half an hour, saying that we observe the observation is to see what I will not be adverse reactions to facilitate their timely processing of bar. ”
To sit for half an hour after the injections, in addition to needle a little bit sore mouth, the Minmin without any adverse reactions. With her to the injection of the other teachers are also not seen a performance of uncomfortable, sitting for half an hour later, we have left one after another after another.
Back later, Minmin strictly abide by the attention, for two days did not bathe, but also dared to do strenuous exercise, has been to remind ourselves that more water, eat more fruits, diet is also very light, not to eat too much oily and spicy food.
In this way, two days, Minmin without any discomfort!
Throat discomfort began the third day, sixth day of the symptoms completely disappear
Who knows, the third day after vaccination, Dalian, a sudden drop in temperature, to the evening Minmin throats began to feel pain, when no other discomfort, so we just kept drinking, but also what the drug did not dare eat . Who knows the morning after sleep together, even started coughing, but even more terrifying is, cough, nausea and vomiting associated with Shi Hai! Minmin frightened, this is a rare adverse reaction to vaccines? Or they do not care a cold out?
Minmin, said: “I do not have any cold, which two weeks ago, Dalian has always been below zero temperatures, we have here are heating, and in the house is not cold. I guess that should be playing a flow of vaccine adverse response to it. “However, Minmin Despite these discomfort, but she as usual to work, eat, rest … …
Today is the fifth day after vaccination, and she still still has cough, cough, when accompanied by severe vomiting, no fever, headache, muscle aches and other symptoms, was told had never been seen playing the vaccine should not be taken within two weeks antiviral drugs, so she did not eat any medicine, but still drink plenty of water, keep warm.
“I would like to not take medicine bar, after all, a very mild symptoms, and my stomach had not so good, they also occasionally in peacetime nausea and vomiting, but okay, my appetite was not affected, I still meal be able to eat the next bowl. “Minmin said, laughing.
According to Minmin said that her teachers around immunized A stream vaccine, but have no serious side effects.
The sixth day after vaccination, Minmin symptoms disappear without any discomfort.
Comments: vaccination difficult to resolve? Please weigh, “A flow of vaccine” and “A flow of the epidemic” This is the risk of both bar!
I believe that many people face when they hit a stream and Minmin vaccines, as there are concerns, after all, a flow of vaccine is a “new things”, and people are the biggest concerns than the side effects of the vaccine.
We know that a stream has been inactivated vaccine is in fact a fragment of the influenza A H1N1 influenza virus, which has lost the ability to copy, into the body, will not breed, so it is safe; but because the vaccine virus, retained the ” appearance, “into the human body, still cause the body’s immune response, making the body produce” antibodies “to remove these inactivated viruses, and these” antibodies “can be stored in the body after the election, when the virus re-infection (for real viruses), these antibodies will be able to come out in time eliminate the invading virus. Therefore, vaccination A vaccine can prevent infection of a stream flow of the virus.
However, as out of a newly developed vaccine, influenza A H1N1 influenza vaccine whether or not safe? Experts have made this explanation: The licensed vaccines, first of all is the result of clinical trials and is proven to be safe. And after vaccination, there was indeed a part of the crowd will appear abnormal reaction, but mostly mild.
For example, our text in the Minmin, she inoculated a flow of vaccine has been no serious adverse reactions, some minor discomfort for her life and work and did not cause any impact; also to her teachers there were no obvious discomfort. Moreover, pre-vaccination prior to inoculation staff will give you a rigorous assessment of contraindications if you really exist, then even if you want to play, they can not let you play.
As the WHO representative in China Blue Ruiming interviews to the media, put it: “There is nothing in the world is absolutely safe and effective, the key is the harm the disease and vaccine risks that may exist between the trade-off . “We all know that a flow has resulted in many deaths, but no one because the injecting a flow of vaccine death.
So, when you hesitate, you may wish to measure the flow of vaccine A vaccine and infection of both of the danger of a stream, then what big As everyone is small, at a glance. As with our text in the Minmin, when she thought of playing the vaccine will be able to prevent a flow, you can also make people more secure around, she did not hesitate a.
Finally, Minmin said: “I think we should all play a stream vaccine, do not hesitate. You think about it, once infected with the A stream, that would be how serious, in contrast, playing the vaccine adverse reaction is minimal, and the After I hit the vaccine do not have to worry about infected with a stream, and this matter will try to do? ”
Of course, experts also remind you that, after all, a passive immunity vaccine, the most important point is that we must actively take the initiative to enhance their body’s resistance to the water, multi-nutritional supplement, do not over-exertion, appropriate physical activity; normal life, pay attention to sanitation, washing hands, pay attention to changes in a timely manner according to changes in the weather clothes, bedroom, office handling window ventilation, fewer trips to crowded places; cough or sneeze, cover your mouth, nose, no dirty hands Rouyan, dig nose, etc. .
