19 January 2024 Prof. Dr. Yong Phuworawan, Head of the Center of Specialization in Clinical Virology Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Posted a message via Facebook stating that COVID-19 is the COVID-19 vaccine that has been talked regarding a lot. All vaccines aim to prevent disease. whether it prevents infection severity of disease including death
All types of vaccines Regardless of the vaccines used in children Both will be very useful. And the disadvantage is that side effects can occur. But in general, side effects are very rare. such as oral polio vaccine Can prevent polio But it can also cause polio.

Similarly, the COVID-19 vaccine must be used urgently. Because in the first year, COVID-19 had a death rate of 3-5%, which was very high, and decreased in the following years to 1%, and until now it is probably less than 0.1% according to the evolution of the virus.

Pain at the injection site But there are very few. that will cause violence to death Billions of doses of vaccines have been administered, although more than a hundred million doses have been administered in Thailand. Therefore, side effects that occur 1 in 100,000 or 1 in a million will also be encountered.

If the disease is severe, the chance of it getting into the lungs is very high and the death rate is higher than 1%. Vaccines have some side effects. But it is much less than the severity of the disease.

More than for the general public who are physically strong. And vaccination is not compulsory. It is given voluntarily. But our duty is to provide all the knowledge to make decisions.
Everything has both good and bad results. But if the benefits greatly outweigh the negative effects We would probably have to give in.
