特別向家長建議為二至六歲之年幼學童接種政
府計劃內不包括但世界衞生組織及美國疾病管
制暨預防中心建議之有效及安全的疫苗。
香港醫學會對兩歲至六歲學童之疫苗建議 ：
• 水痘疫苗
• 肺炎鏈球菌疫苗(13價)
• 流感疫苗(每年注射)
• 甲型肝炎疫苗

• The Government provides free vaccinations to
children in Hong Kong against ten infectious diseases
under “Childhood Immunization Programme” and
subsidizes seasonal influenza vaccination to children
under “Childhood Influenza Vaccination Subsidy
Scheme”
• A few safe and effective vaccines are not covered by
the Government programmes.

• HKMA provides the Vaccination Advice for young
children aged between 2 and 6 with the vaccines
recommended by the World Health Organization and
the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention

Vaccines
Vaccines have made a
tremendous impact on the
health of children,”
• “
Daniel Salmon, PhD, MPH, Director of National
Vaccine Program Office, US Department of Health
and Human Services in Washington, D. C.
9
Vaccines
• “Vaccination Programs have
led to 93% to 100%
elimination of many childhood
diseases in the United States.”
10
Impact of Vaccines
• Dr. Salmon pointed out a direct
overlap between countries with:
• higher rates of vaccine refusal and
• outbreaks of pertussis, a childhood
disease that has seen resurgence in
recent years.
11
Good Reports on Vaccines
• July 2011 –Chickenpox deaths in the US have been
nearly eliminated due to wide spread use of the
varicella vaccines, according to a new CDC study;
• Researchers have found that chickenpox deaths have
dropped by 88% overall and by 97% among children
and adolescents since 1995.
• Before the varicella vaccine became available,
chickenpox was responsible for about 100 deaths
and 11,000 hospitalization each year.

甚麼是水痘？
• 由水痘病毒引致，潛伏
期約2~3星期
• 傳播途徑 : 飛沫 / 接觸患
者分泌物弄污的物件
• 傳染性極高，傳染期為
出疹前 5天至所有皮膚
結痂
13

甚麼是水痘？
• 病徵:頭痛、發燒
出紅疹及水泡
• 患上一次後，身體會產生終生免疫能力

areas, like China.
• Endemic regions : high risk populations,
children whose immunity against
Hepatitis A is desired.
16
甚麼是肺炎球菌疾病？(1)
• 肺炎球菌是多重抗藥性細菌之一，有91種菌株的入侵
性病菌，可入侵致人體的血液和器官並擴散開
• 全球每年大約有一百萬名小於五歲幼兒因肺炎球菌感
染而死亡
• 日常的傾談、接觸互動都很可能互相感染
• 病菌可透過噴嚏, 咳嗽及飛沬傳播
• 病徵與感冒相似, 大多會有持續高燒及沒精打采
- 5歲以下的孩童 (特別是兩歲以下之幼兒)
- 上托兒所的幼童
- 曾服用抗生素之兒童
- 最近曾受耳部感染之兒童
17
甚麼是肺炎球菌疾病？(2)
肺炎球菌疾病有多嚴重 ?
• 20%健康幼童的鼻咽腔偶而會帶有肺炎球菌，當免疫力
減低時，細菌就從呼吸道或血液侵襲器官
• 由肺炎球菌引起的疾病可分為「非入侵性」和「入侵性」
兩個範疇, 若嚴重, 可引致併發症及造成生命危險
入侵性
非入侵性
腦膜炎
敗血症
心內膜炎
化膿性肺炎
急性中耳炎
鼻竇炎
