The effectiveness of vaccination in children is very well assessed, it is at least as good as in adults, and in most studies even higher. This is due to the fact that most children do not have burdens that reduce immunity – explained Dr. Lidia Stopyra, head of the infectious diseases and paediatrics department of the Hospital. Żeromski, who was a guest of Beata Tadla in the program “Onet Rano.”.
– The vaccine for children is safe and we know this not only from clinical trials before its introduction to the market, but also because the FDA approved the vaccine a few weeks ago and already several million children in the US aged 5-11 are vaccinated. We know that the millions of doses administered do not cause any adverse reactions to the vaccine.
- The pediatrician warns parents. “Any child who is not vaccinated will get sick”
What can parents expect? – asked the program leader. – Are the symptoms different after administration than in adults?
- Vaccinations of children aged 5-11 already in December. The minister gave the date
– Usually these symptoms are less. We know from research and practice that even these local ailments such as hand pain or low temperature in children are much milder than in adults. Contraindications for children are the same as for adults, and the only contraindication is a severe anaphylactic reaction that would occur after the first dose of the vaccine or some of its ingredients. This is a very rare situation – said Dr. Stopyra.
- How many children are sick? More and more it goes to hospitals
