【秋季防疫🍁減低「雙病毒感染」風險】
秋天將至,呼吸道病毒開始蠢蠢欲動,長者同長期病患者尤其要提高警覺!呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)嘅傳染力強,初期症狀容易被忽略,而肺炎球菌更可以引致嚴重肺炎或其他併發症。等我哋一齊了解呢兩種病症同相對應嘅疫苗,提防病毒同細菌入侵,守護自己同家人健康!💡
感染RSV 死亡率高過流感❓
RSV 死亡率約11.9%,比流感嘅8.8%更高。近期香港 RSV 感染個案急增三倍,趨勢或會延續,甚至有機會同流感高峰期重疊,增加「雙病毒感染」風險。高風險人士如長者、長期病患者一旦感染,容易惡化成肺炎或心肌炎,所以要特別注意。
孕婦可唔可以接種呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)疫苗❓
懷孕期間媽媽免疫力會下降,容易受到病毒侵襲。RSV不但會影響媽媽健康,仲有機會影響初生BB。研究顯示,準媽媽喺懷孕32至36周接種RSV疫苗,有效降低BB出生後首六個月感染RSV嘅風險,為BB提供初期保護。
肺炎係香港第二大致命疾病❓
根據2024年數據,肺炎係香港第二大致命疾病,導致超過1.1萬人死亡。 粗死亡率為每10萬人之中,平均每年會有151.5人死亡,排名僅次於惡性腫瘤。其中肺炎鏈球菌係主要元兇之一,20價肺炎球菌疫苗可預防侵入性肺炎球菌疾病,降低併發症及死亡風險。
20價肺炎球菌疫苗(PCV20)涵蓋20種血清型❓
20價肺炎球菌疫苗涵蓋20種常見血清型,適合18歲以上高風險人士,接種一劑就可以提供持久防護。建議長者、曾有侵入性肺炎球菌病史、患有新陳代謝疾病(包括糖尿病、肥胖)及免疫力較低嘅人士接種,有效降低感染風險。

【Get vaccinated to reduce the risk of "Dual Virus Infections"】
As fall draws near, respiratory viruses are beginning to re-emerg, and the elderly and those with chronic illnesses need to stay vigilant! Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is extremely contagious, and its initial symptoms can be easily missed, whereas pneumococcus can result in severe pneumonia or other complications. Let’s learn about these two viruses and their corresponding vaccines to safeguard ourselves and our families against viral and bacterial threats! 💡
RSV vs Influenza Virus Infection ❓
Mortality was found to be higher in the RSV group (11.9%) than in the influenza group (8.8%). Recently, there has been a threefold increase in RSV cases in Hong Kong, and this trend could potentially coincide with the peak of influenza in the near future, increasing the chance of "dual virus infection". High-risk groups, such as the elderly and individuals with chronic health conditions, are more susceptible to severe complications like pneumonia or myocarditis following infection, so extra caution is needed.
Can pregnant women get the RSV vaccine❓
During pregnancy, a mother’s immunity may decrease, increasing her vulnerability to viruses. RSV not only poses a risk to the mother’s health but can also affect newborns. Studies indicate that pregnant women who receive the RSV vaccine between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy can effectively lower the risk of their baby contracting RSV in the first six months after birth, thereby providing early protection for the infant.
Is pneumonia the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong❓
According to 2024 data, pneumonia ranks as the second leading cause of death in Hong Kong, resulting in over 11,000 deaths. The crude mortality rate is 151.5 deaths per 100,000 individuals annually, second only to malignant tumours. Pneumococcus is one of the main culprits, and the pneumococcal 20-valent vaccine (PCV20) helps prevent invasive pneumococcal diseases, reducing the risks of complications and mortality.
Does the Pneumococcal 20-valent vaccine (PCV20) cover 20 serotypes❓
The pneumococcal 20-valent vaccine covers 20 common serotypes and is recommended for high-risk individuals aged 18 and above. A single dose provides long-lasting protection. It is particularly advised for the elderly, those with a history of invasive pneumococcal disease, metabolic conditions such as diabetes or obesity, and immunocompromised individuals to mitigate the risk of infections.
and are now offering special vaccination packages for the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccine and the Pneumococcal 20-valent vaccine. The offer starts from today and until 31 December 2025, priced at HK$3,080 and HK$1,990 respectively (inclusive of doctor’s consultation and one dose of vaccination).
