Pemberian Vaksin Polio Serentak untuk Anak, Tak Perlu Khawatir Efek Sampingnya

Dream - The discovery of polio cases in three children in East Java can be considered a severe blow to the health condition of children in Indonesia. This is because in 2014, Indonesia was declared free from Polio disease.

The disease caused by this virus can result in a drastic decrease in quality of life. Children may experience paralysis and lifelong disabilities.

This creates the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenkes RI) starting today, Monday, January 15, 2024, holding additional immunization or Sub National Polio Immunization Week or Sub PIN Polio in three areas for ages 0 to 59 months. The type of Polio vaccine that will be used in this Sub PIN Polio is the latest generation vaccine, namely the Novel Oral Polio Vaccine type 2 or nOPV2. The vaccine is given in two drops with a minimum interval of one month.

Regarding vaccine safety, quoted from Liputan6.com, Chairman of the National Commission on Post-Immunization Adverse Events (Komnas KIPI), Professor Hinky Hindra Irawan Satari, stated that various studies have shown that the nOPV2 vaccine is safe.

Vaccine can also be tolerated by infants and children. "The vaccine provides mild, short-lived post-immunization adverse events. It can recover with or without treatment," said Hinky in a press conference with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, written on Monday, January 15, 2024.

Based on clinical trial data conducted by the manufacturer, Bio Farma, the following are the reactions after administering the nOPV2 vaccine: - Crying: 15 percent - Drowsiness: 7 percent - Fever: 11 percent - Irritability: 15 percent - Loss of appetite: 11 percent - Vomiting: 13 percent These reactions occur 1-2 days after vaccination and disappear 1-2 days after receiving the Polio vaccine with or without treatment.

Kontraindikasi Vaksin nOPV2:

- Primary immunodeficiency disease - Immunosuppressive response (due to medication, leukemia, lymphoma, and other malignancies) - Acute infectious disease with fever condition. If there is a mild cough and cold, it can be given.

"Already Used Since 2023"

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The nOPV2 polio vaccine has been administered nearly seven million doses during the implementation of Sub PIN Polio 2023 in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Java. Based on the implementation of Sub PIN, serious Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) reports have emerged. After investigation, it turns out that they are not related to immunization. "There are reports of serious AEFI, but after further investigation, it turns out to be a coincidence, meaning it is not related to immunization. Some have measles, dengue, and bacterial infections," said Hinky."

One thing that often triggers parental anxiety after vaccination is fever. Hinky explains that if fever occurs, there is no need to panic. "Based on data, polio vaccine does not cause high fever, if there is fever it is not too high," said Hinky.

Fever is a reaction to foreign substances entering the body. "When the virus enters, it weakens, and to form certain antibodies, a certain temperature is needed, namely a fever. Some fevers are not so high, while others are high," he said. If there is a fever after vaccination, you can administer fever-reducing medication and provide plenty of fluids. Source: Liputan6.com
