簡單的防護措施可以幫您有效預防包括流感、RSV及COVID-19在內的冬季病毒

撰稿:Yasuko Fukuda,醫學博士 隨著目前流感、呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)及COVID-19在加州的流行,各個家庭都採取防護措施來在這個冬季保持健康是很重要的,尤其是當我們在室內聚集時,比如購物及節日歡慶。 呼吸道感染的人數在上升,並且我們仍然看到病人們被送往急救室。據公共衛生官員透露,在加州至少有兩名不到五歲的兒童同因RSV而死亡。這真的令人痛心。我們需要記住, COVID-19、RSV及流感的嚴重併發症很容易傷害年幼的孩子們,尤其是當他們有基礎疾病時或是早產兒。隨著COVID-19感染數目繼續在加州上升,所有年齡階段的家庭成員都保持警惕並採取簡單易行卻有效的防護措施來預防冬季病毒是十分重要的。正好趕在節日前,二價疫苗現在可供滿6個月的嬰幼兒接種了,這就意味著您全家人就都可以接種升級版疫苗。 這樣五個建議可以幫助您為自己及他人預防嚴重病症及住院: 接種疫苗、加強劑(並接受治療)—— 流感和COVID-19疫苗仍然是您預防嚴重病症及死亡的最有效的武器。並且,您可以同時接種它們。如果您COVID-19檢測呈陽性,請立即與您的醫生或檢測治療站聯繫,並時接種治療。我們推薦大部分成年人和所有年滿12歲並出現某些症狀及疾病者去接受COVID-19治療,而且一有症狀就開始治療是最有效的。如果生病了就待在家中 —— 如果您覺得生病了,待在家中是至關重要的。避免與他人近距離接觸以保護他們,並充分利用這段時間來休息恢復。這在患諸如流感、RSV及COVID-19等呼吸道疾病時是尤其重要,因為它們可能發展成重症。戴口罩 —— 在公共室內場所佩戴口罩是限制病菌傳播的好方法。為了讓口罩最大限度的發揮作用,請選擇貼合面部且過濾性好的。基本准側是:外科口罩很好、KN95或KN94口罩更好,N95口罩最好。洗手 ——勤用肥皂和溫水洗手至少二十秒。這是一個預防生病的簡單方法。咳嗽或打噴嚏時遮住 —— 病菌可以傳播很遠!請記住在咳嗽或打噴嚏時用手肘、手臂或一次性紙巾遮住。 雖然這些建議看似簡單,但是它們加起來可以在對影響咱們州的所有冬季病毒起到強有力的防禦作用,並且可以幫助您和您的親人預防嚴重病症且遠離急救室。 當天氣轉冷,我們都在室內與家人歡聚之時,請務必盡己所能來預防這些冬季病毒。通過採取上述簡單的防護,您就有能力來降低自己被暴露於病毒中的幾率。在這個冬季保持健康,您才能與自己的親人一起歡度好時光。 獲取更多有關流感的訊息,請訪問加州公共衛生部流感資源網頁。查找附近的流感或COVID-19疫苗接種點,請訪問My Turn – 加利福尼亞COVID-19疫苗預約與通知。

接種加强劑幷在這個節日季給自己一份健康好禮

撰稿:UC Davis Health,Dali Fan醫生 冬天很快就要來臨幷且天氣也將轉冷。現在爲自己和家人接種疫苗和加强劑來預防COVID-19比以往任何時候都更重要。隨著年齡的增長,因COVID-19而嚴重致病的風險也會增加,所以接種升級版加强劑對年滿65歲者是至關重要的。 感染COVID-19在較年長成人群中造成的住院及死亡率最高,而接種COVID-19加强劑可以幫助降低感染及嚴重致病的風險。50至64歲之間的成年人比18至29歲之間的成年人因COVID-19而死亡的可能性要高25倍。65至74歲之間的成年人因COVID-19而死亡的可能性則會顯著上升,與較年輕成年人相比高60倍。我們知道較年長成年人在及時接種加强劑後就可以最有效的預防嚴重病症。接種疫苗和加强劑可以幫助降低住院人數幷避免醫院及護理中心超負荷運轉。 我是一名醫生;我關心您的健康幷懇請您爲抗擊疫情僅自己的一份力——接種疫苗和加强劑來保護自己和您的親人。如果您感到生病了,請務必在這個節日季參加任何聚會之前去做檢測,從而最大程度降低傳播給他人的風險。當我們在這個節日季期盼與家人和朋友見面時,我想在此分享一些常見問題的答案,從而確保您和您的家人能受到保護。 問:如果預期感染率高,與家人共度佳節還安全碼? 答:我們知道與家人和朋友相聚是一個重要的節日傳統。當聚會時,我强烈建議您采取適當措施來保證每個人的安全。這就意味著設立規矩是合理的,從而大家都能安全歡慶。在聚會前,鼓勵您的朋友和家人: 接種疫苗及升級版加强劑在聚會前後去做COVID檢測如果感到生病了就待在家中考慮佩戴口罩。這裏有個不錯的主意:作爲主人的您可以把一籃口罩放在門口以鼓勵賓客們佩戴口罩。 問:我感到COVID-19的威脅不再像以往一樣危險了。我還需要帶口罩嗎? 答:在公共室內場所佩戴口罩也可以幫助降低很多不同呼吸系統病毒的傳播,其中包括呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)、流感及COVID。 我們所有人都對COVID-19聽煩了,但是病毒還在這裏幷繼續影響著我們的生活。研究表明COVID-19已經把我們的整體平均壽命削减了5年,幷對有色人種社區造成的影響更加嚴重。雖然有色人種社區不成比例的受到影響的原因有很多,但是我們知道接種疫苗和及時接種升級版加强劑可以幫助消除這個差异幷提高健康狀况。 問:我的父母和(或)祖父母剛在上個春季接種過疫苗,爲什麽我還應該優先爲他們接種升級版加强劑呢? 答:加强劑可以幫助維持對嚴重病症的抵抗力。這就是爲什麽鼓勵年長人群去接種升級版加强劑尤爲重要。這可以降低他們得COVID-19的風險,幷且如果得病了也可以把對健康的影響减少到最低。另外,得COVID-19後可能會出現一些長期症狀,比如中風、偏頭痛、記憶問題、抑鬱及焦慮、抽搐及震顫等其他類似帕金森病的症狀。 問:我年輕、健康。爲什麽還需要接種升級版加强劑呢? 答:COVID-19和它的變種正在流行中。即使您已經感染過COVID-19幷接種過COVID-19疫苗,我們也推薦您接種升級版加强劑,因爲它可以幫助維持您對嚴重病症的抵抗力幷降低住院及死亡的風險。 問:我是否符合接種加强劑的條件?我以爲它們僅限于特定人群接種。 答:每位年滿5歲者都有資格接種加强劑,且我們也鼓勵您去接種。及時接種COVID-19疫苗及升級版加强劑爲您提供最佳的保護。這就是爲什麽當您符合條件時儘快去接種加强劑如此重要。多數情况下,您在接種最後一劑疫苗兩個月後即具備資格。另外,加强劑可以與您曾經接種過的疫苗品牌不同,且這樣也不會影響其保護效用。 問:我剛接種過流感疫苗。接種加强劑還安全嗎? 答:安全!同時接種流感疫苗和升級版加强劑不僅方便而且非常安全。 我們知道節日期間是一年中的忙碌之時。請盡自己的一份力來保持健康,這樣才可以從現在到新年之時與家人和朋友盡情的歡慶。 進一步瞭解如何保證安全幷今天就預約接種您的下一劑疫苗或加强劑,請訪問MyTurn.ca.gov或撥打833-422-4255。
