China: In the event that Hong Kong Toddlers is unable to achieve the drug manufacturer for the Kovid -19 vaccine, the city will attempt to dilute the adult version.
After two scientific committees under the Health Department, it was recommended that the age of local vaccination should be fielded a day earlier to the children of six months ago, they decided to expand the vaccination to the young residents on Tuesday.
For German-built biontech vaccine, each pediatric dose must be tenth of the adult version, while for Chinese-upgraded Sinovac they can follow levels for older recipients of the shot. This recommendation came from the scientific committee on the vaccine prevented diseases and emerging and zoonotic diseases.
However, a group expert warned that there was no history of thinning the Kovid -19 vaccines for young children anywhere in the world.
On the chair of the vaccine, the scientific committee, Professor Lau You-Lung said in a radio program on Tuesday that children under the age of two years have a serious condition, a serious condition, or even developed. The 1.5 -in -1,000 chance is to undergo infection.
To ensure that we can create a favorable environment for Hong Kong to move towards a general position, like the rest of the world, it is important to protect this demographic, until the third quarter of this year or early next year.
According to LAU, the ideal situation, if the government can get a specific child formula from the drug manufacturer. But he said that if it does not work, doctors can consider the weakening of the adult formula.
The third dose should be taken at least three months after the other, in which the first two doses should be separated eight weeks.
The question of whether one-tenth part is accurate, according to Lau, most of him is worried. “A little and a little bit increases the possibility of some side effects.
He said that there was no other example to dilute the Covid-19 vaccines and if the dose was slightly reduced, the immunity could not be as strong as anticipated.
Hong Kong has approved Sinovac vaccination for children of three and older, and Biontech vaccination is authorized for children starting at the age of five.
Lau claims that Hong Kong diluted the adult formula of the Biontech vaccine thrice before administering children between five and eleven years old as children were unable to achieve the children's formula. Why the city was unable to protect data is unknown.
Hong Kong is the first Asian city to approve the Kovid -19 vaccine for infants under six months old. In June and July respectively, the United States and Israel reduced their minimum age to six months.
Singapore is also thinking about reducing its threshold to a comparable level.
In a separate radio program on Tuesday, Hong Kong's microbiologist Ho Pak-Leong University urged parents to rest and secure the clinical data showing two vaccines used in Hong Kong for toddlers.
He said that if the government had to dilute the adult formula, to ensure that the technology was reliable and safe, it should be meditated carefully.
Scientific committees also advised that more than 50 people have to reduce their risk of hospital care, contract a serious illness, or undergo an infection, at least three months after their third dose. The booster shot is obtained.
Hong Kong on Monday reported 4,254 new Kovid -19 infections, including 235 cases and six more deadly from outside the country. 1,358,248 cases were described as overall, and 9,508 out of those cases resulted in ambusions.
Till Monday, 93% of the people of the age of three or older had received a dose of the Kovid -19 vaccine, with 89.5 percent second -zab rate. Out of the population of 12 years and above, only 208,113 got their fourth dose, resulting in 67.4% vaccination rates for those who received three doses.
