“Mor Yong” He revealed that there are many vaccines “Thai Children” They should be given, emphasizing investments to ensure that fewer Thai children are born and that they have better quality It is something that should be done very much.

February 6, 2024 Prof. Dr. Yong Phuworawan, Director of the Center for Specialization in Clinical Virology Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Post a message on “Effects of instillation of the diarrheal vaccine Rota It is a fundamental vaccine.” Affirming it

“Thailand has introduced the Rota vaccine to prevent diarrhea in children. This is a free basic vaccine given to all children aged 2, 4 and 6 months starting from February 2020, considered later than other countries. A large number of such basic vaccinations are administered. The results can now be clearly seen that children under 5 years of age develop diarrhea. Very little rotavirus has been detected. Most of the germs currently encountered are noroviruses.

From information from the Center of Expertise in Clinical Virology at Chulalongkorn University it is clear that I work. After giving the rotavirus vaccine to children according to the national vaccination plan. During the COVID-19 epidemic, almost all infectious diseases have decreased. After returning to normal It was found that the cause of diarrhea in children under 5 years of age was very rarely rotavirus. Most are noroviruses. Demonstrates the effectiveness of vaccination against rotavirus diarrhea. As for Noro, there is currently no vaccine.

To inject the Rota vaccine The results are really worth it. And it should have been done a long time ago. At this time, our issue to consider is that there are many other vaccines that Thai children should receive. Even injectable polio (killed germs that do not cause disease) Thai children should receive at least 2 injections instead of using the oral polio vaccine. which is contagious The vaccine itself can cause illness. Even if it’s one in a million, it’s not worth it. with disabilities occurring in children

Additionally, there are many vaccines that should be received. Investing so that fewer Thai children are born and having better quality is something that should be done very much.”
