SCRANTON, PA. (24 septanm 2021) – Sant Wright pou Sante Kominotè a pral kòmanse pwograme ak administre twazyèm dòz vaksen Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 lendi 27 septanm nan nan klinik Mid Valley li a nan Jermyn. 

Twazyèm dòz vaksen Pfizer-BioNTech 19 yo rekòmande kounye a pou lòt gwoup moun, pi lwen pase moun ki iminitè yo. 

Sant pou Kontwòl ak Prevansyon Maladi (CDC) rekòmande pou bay rapèl Pfizer twazyèm dòz sis mwa apre dezyèm dòz la pou moun ki nan kategori sa yo:

• Granmoun ki pi gran (ki gen laj 65 an oswa pi wo) ak moun k ap viv nan sant swen alontèm.
• Adilt ki gen laj 50 a 64 an ki gen gwo risk pou yo vin grav COVID-19 akòz kondisyon medikal ki kache tankou tansyon wo, opresyon ak dyabèt. (Epitou, adilt ki gen laj 18 a 49 an ki gen gwo risk pou yo vin grav COVID-19 akòz kondisyon medikal ki kache yo ta dwe konsidere yon rapèl ki baze sou yon evalyasyon benefis ak risk endividyèl yo ak konsiltasyon ak founisè medikal yo, dapre CDC a.)
• Adilt ki gen laj 18 a 64 an pou moun ki nan swen sante ak anviwònman enstitisyonèl ki gen travay ki mete yo nan gwo risk pou COVID-19. Sa gen ladann travayè swen sante, pwofesè, anplwaye gadri, travayè makèt, ak moun ki nan abri oswa nan prizon.

Konsèy CDC konsènan twazyèm dòz yo poko pibliye pou vaksen Johnson & Johnson ak Moderna, oswa pou sekirite melanje diferan vaksen yo.

Nan kòmansman mwa sa a, CDC te deja kòmanse rekòmande pou moun ki gen sistèm iminitè konpwomèt ki te resevwa de dòz vaksen Pfizer oswa Moderna pran yon twazyèm piki menm kalite a pou ranfòse pwoteksyon yo kont COVID-19; twazyèm piki a ta dwe resevwa omwen 28 jou apre dezyèm dòz la.

Rekòmandasyon an se pou moun ki "modere a grav iminokonpwomi."

"Moun ki modere a grav iminokonpwomi fè apeprè 3% nan popilasyon adilt la," dapre CDC a, "epi yo espesyalman vilnerab a COVID-19 paske yo gen plis risk pou yo maladi grav, pwolonje."

Sa gen ladann moun ki gen:

• Te resevwa tretman kansè aktif pou timè oswa kansè nan san an
• Te resevwa yon transplantasyon ògàn epi yo pran medikaman pou siprime sistèm iminitè a
• Te resevwa yon transplantasyon selil souch nan 2 dènye ane yo oswa w ap pran medikaman pou siprime sistèm iminitè a
• Yon iminodefisyans prensipal modere oswa grav (tankou sendwòm DiGeorge, sendwòm Wiskott-Aldrich)
• Enfeksyon VIH avanse oswa ki pa trete
• Tretman aktif ak gwo dòz kortikoterapi oswa lòt dwòg ki ka siprime repons iminitè w la

Moun yo ta dwe pale ak founisè swen sante yo sou kondisyon medikal yo epi si li apwopriye pou yo pran yon lòt dòz.

Yo ka pran randevou pou resevwa twazyèm dòz vaksen Moderna nan Scranton nou an, Mid Valley, Clarks Summit, Kingston, Hawley, South Franklin Street ak lokal sante ki baze nan lekòl yo.
