Patient's question:
6 and a half years old. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Should the pneumonia vaccine be the domestic or exported product? What kind of help is needed: Should the pneumonia vaccine be the domestic or exported product?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 around 250 yuan. Except for one exported product, the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine, which costs 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.
