What about the shortage of vaccines in the Mainland?

Recently, the Shenzhen Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued a notice to suspend the appointment vaccination service for five vaccines.

For a time, parents in Shenzhen were very anxious, worried that their children could not finish the five-vaccine at the right age.

The shortage of Wulian vaccine in Shenzhen is actually the epitome of the whole continent. In the second half of 20 17, there was a large-scale shortage of pentavaccine in the mainland.

Why is there a shortage of vaccines in the Mainland? There are two main reasons!

On the one hand, the five-vaccine can prevent pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae B infection, and the prevention effect is not weaker than that of the above-mentioned infectious disease prevention vaccines alone. Moreover, the number of inoculation needles is far less than that of a single inoculation needle. This can make children suffer a lot less, so they are favored by mainland parents.

On the other hand, five vaccines are imported vaccines, which are produced by Sanofi Pasteur, a foreign pharmaceutical company, and have to go through strict approval procedures for listing in the Mainland. However, the latest batch of products has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

The stocks of pentavaccine in Chinese mainland were continuously consumed, but the follow-up supplements failed to keep up, and eventually a large-scale shortage of pentavaccine broke out.

And according to the current situation, the shortage of vaccines in the mainland will continue for a long time.

At the same time, there is no shortage of five vaccines in Hong Kong. Therefore, for mainland parents, the wise choice is to take their children to Hong Kong for vaccination.

Victoria Harbour Health can provide vaccine reservation service for mainland parents when going to vaccination institutions in Hong Kong for vaccination.

As one of the largest overseas medical institutions in the Mainland, Victoria Harbour Health has rich experience in overseas medical services, and still maintains the record of transporting 50,000 people to Hong Kong for medical treatment every year. But also has long-term close cooperation with major vaccination institutions in Hong Kong.

As in the case of pentavaccine, pneumonia vaccine with the price of 13 has also been out of stock in the Mainland. Therefore, many mainlanders also choose to come to Hong Kong to call pneumonia vaccine, and the price is 13.

Based on this situation, there is a guideline that the vaccination time of Hong Kong 13 and five vaccines need not be separated. Victoria Harbour Health has launched five vaccines and 13 pneumonia vaccine package. Mainland parents can make health appointments through Victoria Harbour. Take the children to Hong Kong and get 13 bivalent and pentavalent vaccines at the same time.
