On the same day, Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana, a virologist
The National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (Biotech) posted on Facebook that
Research results at Siriraj Clinical Research Center
Together with the research team of virology and cytology, NSTDA found that the vaccine injected into the muscle and under the skin.
In the elderly who received two doses of Astrasenega (AZ) vaccine, both were able to boost immunity against the omikron virus.
The intramuscular group was approximately 3 times higher than the subcutaneous group in the case of Moderna stimulation and approximately 1.5 times in the case of Pfizer stimulation.
Dr. Anan stated that
The figure appears to be consistent with the amount of vaccine used.
Moderna was injected intramuscularly 5 times more than the skin (100 vs 20 mcg), while Pfizer was injected 3 times more intramuscularly (30 vs 10 mcg). Side effects from subcutaneous injections appeared to be less than expected.
The research team concluded that the injection under the skin.
With Moderna in particular, it may be an option to consider in cases where vaccines are limited.

Global Covid Situation As of May 14, around the world, 520,816,961 people have been infected, with a total of 6,287,570 deaths.

The results of the study were published in the Medical Journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases on May 11, 2022.

As for severe hepatitis in young children, data as of May 13, 2022 from the ECDC showed that there were 232 severe hepatitis cases under 17 years of age, of which 76% were young children. Less than five years, 15% had to stay in the ICU, 6% had had liver replacement surgery, and one person died. A detailed examination revealed that 60 percent of those who tested showed evidence of adenovirus infection, but As many as 74% of serology tests revealed that they had been infected with COVID-19 in the past, and 12% tested positive for RT-PCR.
Thira also stated that
Information available to date
Therefore, it is likely that
Severe hepatitis in young children may be more closely related to COVID-19 infection, and further studies will need to be done to determine, if true, the pathogenesis of the relationship. Having a young child infected with COVID-19 in the past may lead to a long-term persistence in the gastrointestinal tract.
And this long-term infection will repeatedly stimulate the immune system.
