保护健康的百年大计-哪些疫苗你的孩子没有注射?

白水鱼注:FDA 昨天更新了《Vaccines for Children: Information for Parents and Caregivers》,觉得很有必要分享给家里有儿童的家长。由于20世纪疫苗注射在全球的普及和成功,今天已经很难看见过去一些年常见的儿童疾病了,如小儿麻痹,麻疹,脑膜炎,百日咳,乙肝等。由此人们开始渐渐对这些疾病变得陌生,甚至忽略它们对你的宝宝可能造成的伤害。前不久麻疹在加拿大的局部暴发就是一个例子。在中国,常规疫苗注射基本属于强制性措施,但在西方国家完全是志愿的,有文化的背景,有人权的考量,还有宗教的因素等。但不管怎样,保护你的孩子应该高于一切(一些疫苗,成人也应该考虑注射)。下面我用中文题目对照原文的方式来介绍这些常规疫苗(为了便于理解,没有按原文直译),比较一下你或你的孩子是否已经注射,如果没有,最好咨询一下你的家庭医生或专业人士。

白喉-破伤风类毒素-百日咳疫苗(注:中国叫“百白破疫苗”,是一种三联疫苗

Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis (DTaP)

•Brand Names: Daptacel and Infanrix

•What it's for: Prevents the bacterial infections diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), and pertussis (whooping cough). This combination vaccine is given as a series in infants and children 6 weeks through 6 years of age, prior to their 7th birthday. Diphtheria can infect the throat, causing a thick covering that can lead to problems with breathing, paralysis, or heart failure. Tetanus can cause painful tightening (spasms) of the muscles, seizures, paralysis, and death. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, has the initial symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, and a mild cough, which may seem like a typical cold. Usually, the cough slowly becomes more severe. Eventually the patient may experience bouts of rapid coughing followed by the “whooping” sound that gives the disease its common name as they try to inhale. While the coughing fit is occurring, the patient may vomit or turn blue from lack of air. Patients gradually recover over weeks to months.

Hib disease can also cause pneumonia, severe swelling in the throat, infections of the blood, joints, bones, and tissue covering of the heart, as well as death.

Young children may not have any symptoms, so when a child’s caregiver becomes sick, that is when it is recognized that the child is infected. Hepatitis A is most often spread by an object contaminated with the feces of a person with hepatitis A, such as when a parent or caregiver does not properly wash his or her hands after changing diapers or cleaning up the stool of an infected person. Both vaccines are approved for use in people 12 months of age and older.

流感疫苗(针剂)

Influenza Vaccine (administered with a needle)

•Brand Names (for children): Afluria, Fluarix, FluLaval, Fluvirin, Fluzone, Fluarix Quadrivalent, FluLaval Quadrivalent, and Fluzone Quadrivalent

•What it's for: Different vaccines are approved for different age groups to prevent influenza disease, caused by the strains of influenza virus that are included in the vaccine.

Influenza, commonly called “flu,” is a contagious respiratory virus that can cause mild to severe illness. The elderly, young children and people with certain health conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease) are at high risk for serious influenza-related complications. Complications may include pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of certain medical conditions such as congestive heart failure, asthma or diabetes.

The strains of influenza virus that cause disease in people frequently change, so yearly vaccination is needed to provide protection against the influenza viruses likely to cause illness each winter.

Measles can be severe, causing ear infections, pneumonia, seizures, and swelling of the brain. Mumps causes fever, headache, loss of appetite and the well-known sign of swollen cheeks and jaw which is from the swelling of the salivary glands. Rare complications include deafness, meningitis (infection of the lining that surrounds the brain and spinal cord), and painful swelling of the testicles or ovaries. Rubella, also called German Measles, causes fever, a rash, and--mainly in women--can also cause arthritis. Rubella infection during pregnancy can lead to birth defects.

Neisseria meningitidis is a leading cause of meningitis in young children. Even with appropriate antibiotics and intensive care, between 10 and 15 percent of people who develop meningococcal disease die from the infection. Another 10 to 20 percent suffer complications such as brain damage or loss of limb or hearing. Bexsero is approved for use in those 10 through 25 years of age to prevent invasive meningococcal disease caused by N. meningitidis serogroup B. Menactra is approved for use in infants and children beginning at 9 months of age, as well as for adults through 55 years of age. Menveo is approved for use in those 2 months through 55 years of age.
