Many moms and dads still have a lot of questions about vaccines, especially after the increasing number of vaccine incidents. Which vaccines should be given? What do I need to pay attention to? Are domestic vaccines better or should we get imported ones? Today we give answers to common vaccine questions in the hope that we can give you a little more understanding of vaccines. Current vaccine classification Nowadays, there are two types of vaccines, one is the first type of vaccine, which is free of charge and is a planned immunization by the state. There are many types of vaccines, such as the most common hepatitis B vaccine, diphtheria vaccine, leprosy vaccine, etc. These vaccines are within the national immunization program. If there are no contraindications, the baby must be vaccinated, which is also a kind of protection for the baby itself. Another type of vaccine belongs to the second category of vaccines, the second category of vaccines are self-funded, there is no mandatory, you can choose domestic or imported vaccines. Nowadays, many parents give their babies second vaccines. There are many kinds of second vaccines, and although they are not expensive, it is better to get these self-funded vaccines in order to make babies less sick. 1, HIB vaccine (Haemophilus influenzae vaccine) Every year, nearly three million children worldwide will be infected with Haemophilus influenzae type b and cause pneumonia and meningitis, parents who are not familiar with this vaccine must pay attention. Chickenpox vaccine Chickenpox is a contagious disease, especially in spring and autumn. Although chickenpox does not have a very high mortality rate like in the past, it is still necessary for babies to suffer less. 3, flu vaccine Mainly to prevent influenza virus, this flu vaccine can be vaccinated by anyone, especially the weaker babies need more. 4, pneumonia vaccine used to prevent pneumococcal infection, for the prevention of pneumonia will play a role. 5.Hand, foot and mouth vaccine In recent years, China’s infants hand, foot and mouth disease frequent, and even death cases, although the hand, foot and mouth vaccine can not prevent 100% of the occurrence of hand, foot and mouth disease, but can prevent serious hand, foot and mouth disease caused by EV71, can be prevented before it happens. 6, rotavirus vaccine Infectious diarrhea caused by rotavirus is the second cause of emergency and death (in addition to whistling tract infections) in infants and young children. Domestic vs. imported, which is more reliable? The answer is: there are millions of reasons, but safety is the first – all vaccines that pass the national test are safe and effective. Vaccines used in healthy human bodies are generally safer than drugs used for treatment. However, safety is not the same as the absence of adverse reactions. Adverse reactions after vaccination are usually localized redness, swelling and pain, fever and mild allergic rash. Most of these reactions can be cured without treatment or can be treated symptomatically. What is the difference between domestic vaccines and imported vaccines? Currently, there are 33 types of vaccines available in China. Of these vaccines, 19 are only domestically produced, 2 are only imported, and the remaining 12 are both domestically produced and imported. In fact, vaccination has a history of more than 200 years and is globally recognized as one of the best strategies to prevent diseases. A variety of infectious diseases that seriously threaten human health have disappeared from the public’s view after vaccination became popular. Both domestic and imported vaccines undergo strict pre-marketing clinical studies in strict accordance with the requirements of the State Food and Drug Administration, are manufactured in compliance with GMP requirements, and each batch of vaccines is subject to strict batch inspection before being marketed for use. Therefore, there is no significant difference between domestic and imported vaccines of the same type in terms of quality standards, safety and use.
