From registration in Thailand The Sinovac vaccine data also includes immunization data in a small number of people over the age of 60.
According to studies from Phase 1 to Phase 3, nearly 4 percent of people over 60 were older.
Therefore, the committee Therefore allowing the injection in an emergency With those aged 18 to 59 as well, why not let the children under
Than 18 years of age because there were no studies in that age group
In practice, it must follow the rules. That was defined And in the future when there is enough information on injections in the elderly Will move the vaccination in the elderly
In the future Or in the near term There is a very high possibility. To move up to age When there is enough information
However, if the person is 60 years or older And high risk To be infected or sick with COVID-19 and to be very dangerous For example, Dr. Maha Sarakham Province Was able to give But must be evaluated Benefits of vaccine Rather than side effects that will occur The doctor provided all the information And the person willing to take the risk Can be done With the consent of that person
By personal opinion In the near term Vaccination information in the elderly There will be more and will probably be injected. Everyone is patient.
