On January 3, 2023, Dr. Rungruang Kitphati, chief advisor at the ministry level (Level 11 Qualified Physician) as Chairman of the MIU Committee, Ministry of Public Health. Mentioning in the case of news reports, scientific information indicates that multiple mRNA vaccination increases the risk of repeated infection with COVID-19, saying that from the examination it was found that it was the research data of the infectious disease department. Cleveland Clinic United States Which has not been evaluated by experts before being published in an academic journal. and has not been accepted for publication according to academic standards The issues found are presented only from available information. Lack of analysis and summary of information especially important epidemiological data risky behavior disease prevention behavior and history of infection with vaccination As COVID-19 vaccination alone does not significantly control the spread of the virus or infection, it is important to combine it with good health behaviors to prevent disease, such as wearing masks in the facility. Public or crowded places, washing hands and distancing, therefore, such research results are very unreliable.
“Importantly, such research data cannot be applied to Thailand. Because there are differences in the situation. Disease prevention and control measures Epidemiology and health behaviors of the population The United States does not focus on measures such as wearing a mask. like Thailand Including the medical treatment system, disease control, and the strains of the epidemic are different. In addition, people who have received more than 3 booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States. is a group of high-risk behaviors Therefore, there is a greater chance of re-infection than the group who did not receive the injection, “said Dr. Rungrueng.
Dr. Rungruang continued that The results of the study are useful in encouraging further studies on a more comprehensive booster dose of COVID-19 vaccination. This is an important conclusion in the booster vaccination. Especially in risk groups who are elderly or have congenital disease, such as the appropriate number of stimulating needles. The distance between the injection of the stimulus needle that will produce the most benefit. As is the case with the influenza vaccine, the current recommended annual booster is recommended. especially in high-risk groups, the elderly, those with congenital disease Pregnant women and children. The globally accepted academic data is that the COVID-19 booster vaccine clearly reduces the chances of severe illness and death. Therefore invites people to get the COVID-19 vaccination, both regular and booster injections, at least 4 injections, if the last dose is more than 4 months, a booster injection is required. According to current academic recommendations in Thailand, “said Dr. Rungrueang.
