However, many people have severe fevers and even severe inflammation at the vaccination site. According to US research, this vaccine is useless for children and only works for older adults. What should we say?
Severe fever, inflammation at the vaccination site.... Some alarmism, but this kind of alarmism can be heard in the reaction to any vaccine. According to feedback from doctors, the incidence of adverse reactions of the 23-valent pneumonia vaccine is not high. Compared with other vaccines, the incidence of adverse reactions of pneumonia vaccines is relatively low. Whether vaccination reactions occur is related to the child's constitution. A few people will have transient fever, fatigue, and tenderness. . . Generally, no treatment is required and recovery will occur within a day or two. This is a general reaction to vaccination and is not unique to the pneumonia vaccine. A more realistic example here is that in an area with an annual vaccination volume of about 20,000 people (mainly imported vaccines), only about two adverse reactions that are difficult to deal with occur every year, such as severe high fever and allergies.
I don’t know what kind of American research you are talking about. It is very irresponsible to say that this vaccine is useless for children and is only useful for the elderly. This vaccine is not useless for children, but it is not effective for children under two years old. As for the specific effects and high-risk groups, you can consult the vaccination doctor, or read the vaccine instructions and the informed consent form for pneumonia vaccination. These are all legally valid. Don't talk about it through hearsay.
As for American children, they receive the 7-valent or 13-valent pneumonia conjugate vaccine before the child is 2 years old. Therefore, the significance of vaccinating the 23-valent vaccine after the age of 2 needs to be evaluated. It is very different from our national conditions.
My personal suggestion is to get vaccinated. This vaccine has low side effects and is moderately priced. It only takes one shot to protect you for five years.
The answer comes from a professional disease prevention and control team. I hope it will be helpful to you.
