Patient's question:
6.5 years oldPrevious treatment history and effectiveness: Pneumonia vaccine - should I get the domestic version or the export version?
What kind of help do you need: Pneumonia vaccine - should I get the domestic version or the export version?
Doctor's answer:
Currently, the efficacy of the domestic 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine is not significantly different from that of the exported products. However, the price difference is substantial: the domestic vaccine costs around 150 yuan, while the exported products cost about 250 yuan. Except for one exported product, the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine, which is priced at over 800 yuan per dose.Recommendation: From a cost-effectiveness perspective, it is recommended to get vaccinated with the domestic 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine. However, it is only suitable for individuals aged 2 and above. You can wait until after the age of 2 to get vaccinated, as the incidence of this disease is very low in children under 2.
