Why not give young people Working age found outbreak The spread of the disease will greatly reduce the spread of the disease. Not to go to the elderly
Vaccine development up to date There is clear evidence that Can reduce the severity of the disease And reduce mortality from disease There isn’t enough information to say that Vaccines can prevent infection. Especially infection without symptoms But there is clear information that reduces the violence And reduce mortality
Giving in the labor age is found in many patients. There is no evidence to reduce the spread. When receiving vaccines in this group There may be an asymptomatic infection that can still spread the disease.
Therefore, in the labor age when sick with the disease The chance of death is very small.
Immunization in this group is not guaranteed to reduce the infection. Especially infection without symptoms When it happened Can still spread the disease
So there is a reason for them in high risk groups. And medical personnel at the fore So as not to get sick and die
