‘Ajarn Jesada’ explained in detail The clue was asked to choose a vaccine. ‘Sino Farm-Pfizer’ injects children 12-18 years old

On September 15, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jesada Denduangboriban Lecturer at Department of Biology Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University He posted a comment on the selection of vaccinations for children aged 12-18, stating, “This is my personal opinion. I reiterate that this is my personal opinion. And there’s no need to believe it.

is the beginning of a large number of parents Asked about the choice of vaccination for their children (12-18 years) because the school has the right to vaccinate Sino Farm. and the Pfizer vaccine So I don’t know what to choose.

Personally, I’ve spoken since last year when there was no vaccine. If I choose to vaccinate anything that the USA has approved, I’m OK too. then hurry to reserve the Moderna vaccine to follow immediately)

Now, if we compare the strengths and weaknesses of the Sino Farm vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine It’s quite different. The Sino Farm vaccination There is a disadvantage that the vaccine has not been approved by the FDA to be injected into children. but to be injected together It is an experimental project of the Chulabhorn Royal College. which parents must give consent to participate in the experiment

The use of the Sinofarm vaccine in children Right now, there’s only one China that works. It has not been approved by many countries for use, but the highlight is that it is a lethal vaccine. which side effects are likely to be low as in injections in adults.

As for the Pfizer vaccine, which is an mRNA vaccine, The highlight is the high efficiency in virus resistance. Injectables in children are now available in many countries around the world. and has been certified by various organizations from the World Health Organization level FDA USA FDA Thailand, including in the recommendation of the Royal College of Pediatricians of Thailand

As for the disadvantages, there are concerns about side effects. such as myocardial infarction But the birth rate is very low, about 14 in 1 million people. (usually in boys that exercise strenuously after injection) and everyone can heal.

Both of these vaccines at the moment will be free vaccinations from the state. Therefore, there is no cost factor involved. Which many doctor friends said that he would choose the Sino Farm vaccine. The safety for children …. As for me, I would say that I choose Pfizer. Therefore, the decision will be based on each parent. According to the information provided here.

P.S. For vaccines in young children It’s probably still a while before they’ll have them injected. From one fact that Younger children (under 12 years of age) are more likely to become severely ill from COVID-19. much less than adults In practice, vaccinations are rarely needed. unless there is already a chronic disease (For older children, there is an age overlap with adults. Therefore, there should be an additional vaccination)”..
