The Macau government will start on 1st Jan the free vaccination against influenza A H1N1 of permanent residents. It is for those who have been residing in the territory for seven years and over. The vaccine will be administered free of charge.
The first phase of the vaccination program, which began in November this year, has already covered more than 40,000 residents of Macau, including health professionals and other front line workers, people with chronic illnesses, pregnant women, infants, children and youth. The Health Bureau (SS) commissioned 600,000 doses of the vaccine to cover the entire population, before the occurrence of the peak season of the flu that usually takes place in February and March.
澳門宣布為因應第2波H1N1新型流感來臨, 政府作出相應預防措施, 決定由2010年1月1日起為所有澳門居民接種H1N1新型流感疫苗。 持居民身分證人士免費接種。 澳門居民可自行前往各衛生中心、山頂醫院、鏡湖醫院及工人醫療所接種疫苗, 衛生局亦接受機構要求安排集體接種。
根據世界衛生組織的指引以及經研究歐美等地疾控中心的意見, 預計明年的流感高峰期將由一般的2月至3月提前到1月, 所以政府作出相應預防措施, 採購足夠的H1N1疫苗。 衛生部門會進一步介紹接種疫苗的相關事宜, 讓市民知悉疫苗的好處, 並對副作用有正確了解。 持有澳門居民身分證人士獲免費接種H1N1疫苗, 持有外勞證人士可獲優惠價澳門幣50元接種疫苗, 旅客接種費則為澳門幣300元。
澳門現存19.5萬劑新型流感疫苗, 加上將於2010年1月運抵的40萬劑疫苗, 相信足夠澳門居民使用。 衛生局已向瑞士諾華公司訂購70萬劑獲歐盟批准的甲型H1N1流感疫苗, 將因應實際情況需要與疫苗生產商商討調整購買數量, 以確保本澳居民有足夠的甲型H1N1流感疫苗接種。
澳門特區流感應變協調中心呼吁全體居民接種疫苗, 並按衛生局指引, 注意個人衛生和做好預防措施。
