…Update on Omicron (Omicron)
Wenselers T compared the rate of increase in detection. Omicron (Omicron) of each country Both South Africa, England, Scotland, Denmark and Belgium are reflected in the same way. increased rapidly, with the slope being the same in all countries
Latest news: Yesterday, 10 December 2021, the UK Health Security Agency released a new report on Omicron, reviewing the research findings. There are important things as follows.
1. Household transmission (Household transmission)
outbreak of Omicron (Omicron) There will be a chance of spreading the infection in the household. 3.2 times greater than Delta (Confidence Interval from 2.0-5.0)
From the disease monitoring data, it was found that the chances that people infamily close to the infected person Then the infection occurred (Secondary attack rate) was 2.09 times more than Delta (confidence interval 1.54-2.79). Omicron, close people have a 21.6% chance of being infected. Delta part 10.7%
2. There-infected (Reinfection)
Omicron species (Omikron) is likely to cause re-infection. in the group of patients who hadinfected with COVID-19 First, 3-8 times more than Delta
3. TheResistance to vaccine immunity
According to a global review of research published in the past, it found that Omicron (Omicron) to evade or resist immunity 20-40 times greater than Delta
According to the data from the UK itself, the group receivingChAdOx1 vaccine 2 needles and 2 needles BNT162b2, although effective enough toprevent infectionSymptomatic infection for Delta
but for Omicron (Omikron) found that after 3.5 months of vaccination, those who received 2 doses of ChAdOx1 maycan’t prevent As for the group that received 2 doses of BNT162b2, the efficiency was only about 30% (the interpretation of these results in the ChAdOx1 group must be cautious because the sample group is not small. and tend to be elderly and have underlying diseases that may be higher than those in BNT162b2)
However, booster vaccination mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2) boosts immunity by 70-75% to prevent symptomatic infection (but follow-up data is limited to only a few weeks after injection).
above information thus pointing out the need to inject needles to stimulate people
4. The outbreak of Omicron in UK It was expanding rapidly, with an R-value of approximately 3.7 (confidence interval 3.3-4.2), and the infection profile was consistent with other countries. by being very close in working and school age both male and female
5. There is insufficient data to draw conclusions about the serious morbidity and mortality characteristics of Omicron (Omicron). Further follow-up is required.
…for Thai people
The lessons of foreign countries remind us to be wary of the epidemic. Omicron Especially in working and school age because it is the age when meeting other people. a lot each day
people who have been vaccinated need to get the booster vaccination, which should be mRNA vaccine because looking at the data of international research studies that prove it
Disease screening and quarantine systems are crucial to slowing the entry of foreign outbreaks.
But the disease screening system and access to services for all citizens are of paramount importance. to prepare for an outbreak in the country if it occurs in the future
Above all, the most important thing is Strict self defense
Always wear a mask. Two layers. The inner layer is a mask. The outer layer is a cloth mask.
Keep a distance of more than one meter from other people.
Avoid the tourist roaming going to a crowded place poor ventilation
and avoiding parties
