Which self-paid vaccines are necessary to receive
Disease description:
Everyone should get vaccinated, and some vaccines are categorized as self-paid vaccines. I would like to ask the doctor, which self-paid vaccines are necessary to get?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Yang Ziqi
Among self-paid vaccines, the following are considered essential to receive:
1. **Pentavalent Vaccine**: Combines five vaccines—diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)—into one. It prevents multiple diseases with fewer injections, thereby reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
2. **13-Valent Pneumococcal Vaccine**: Plays an important role in preventing pneumonia in infants and young children, particularly severe complications such as meningitis.
3. **Pentavalent Rotavirus Vaccine**: Prevents diarrhea caused by rotavirus infection, which can lead to childhood emergency visits and even death, with no specific treatment available.
4. **HFMD Vaccine**: Prevents severe hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), a highly contagious illness for which vaccination is critically important.
5. **Varicella Vaccine**: Prevents chickenpox, which can not only cause skin itching and discomfort but may also result in scarring, affecting appearance.
