If you have shingles, get vaccinated 6 months to 1 year following acute symptoms
Pneumococcal vaccine, each vaccine should be given over a sufficient period of time
If you are over 50 years old, it is good to prevent diseases by getting vaccinated once morest shingles and pneumonia (Photo = Clip Art Korea).
Vaccinations are recommended for each age group. This is because the frequency and severity of the disease varies with age. In particular, it is important to prevent infectious diseases through vaccination from the age of 50. Professor Park Jung-ha of the Department of Family Medicine at Kyung Hee University Hospital looked into the recommended ‘herpes zoster and pneumonia vaccination’ for those over 50 years of age.
Live vaccine X when immunity is low
Shingles occurs when the varicella-zoster virus, which is dormant in sensory ganglia, is reactivated.and If you have had chickenpox or shinglescan do. occurs unilaterally along the ganglion Rash, blisters, severe painThis mainly appears. shingles is Vaccination is recommended for people over the age of 50 as the incidence increases with age.are doing
Vaccination once morest shingles reduces the incidence of shingles and reduces the incidence of symptoms and sequelae, neuralgia, even if you are infected.let it The shingles vaccine is One dose live vaccineclass Inactivated vaccine (genetically recombinant) administered 2 times at 2-month intervals There are two types.
Professor Park Jeong-ha said, “Live vaccines can cause shingles if given when the immune system is compromised.“It has to be done,” he said.If you have shingles, get vaccinated 6 months to 1 year following acute symptoms have passedIt should be done,” he advised.
Different vaccines have different methods of preventing pneumonia
Pneumonia is a disease in which the lungs become inflamed due to various causes such as bacteria and viruses.am. Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common cause of pneumonia and can be transmitted through saliva. especially ▲ Older age ▲ Diabetes ▲ Dysphagia (symptoms of not being able to swallow food or food passing into the respiratory tract) have an underlying disease, such as The incidence of pneumonia increases when the immune system is weakened.do. Therefore, pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for the elderly, who may be fatal in case of pneumococcal infection.
Pneumococcal vaccination is Protein conjugate vaccine (10-valent: Synflorix, 13-valent: Prevenar)class Polysaccharide vaccine (23: Prodiax) There are two types. Numbers indicate how many of the various pneumococcal subtypes are protected once morest.
Professor Park Jeong-ha said, “The 10-valent protein conjugate vaccine is not for use in adults.“as “13-valent protein conjugate vaccine and 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine”he said. “Although the 23-valent vaccine appears to protect once morest more pneumococcal subtypes than the 13-valent vaccine, Each person has a different way of expressing their ability to prevent pneumonia.“Rather than discriminating between the better of the two, It is better to get both vaccines”he emphasized.
A single dose of the 13-valent protein conjugate vaccine is sufficient.do. The 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine is administered twice at 5-year intervals if immunity is normal and up to three doses if there is no spleen or severe immunity decline.Should be.
However, if you have already received pneumococcal vaccination, other types of pneumococcal vaccine should be administered at regular intervals. If the 13-valent protein conjugate vaccine was administered first, the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine should be administered at least 8 weeks later.It is good to do. also If 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine was administered first, at least one year later, 13-valent protein conjugate vaccineshould fit
