RSV, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus, is a common and highly contagious virus. Once infected, there is currently no targeted treatment available, so prevention is the only way to avoid the risk of RSV. Vaccination is currently the best preventive method. Older adults with chronic illnesses are among the highest-risk groups because their immune systems are weaker. If infected, their existing chronic conditions may worsen, leading to severe complications, hospitalization, or even death. Heart disease patients in particular should be especially cautious: not only are they more susceptible to infection, but the consequences after infection are also much more severe compared to the general population. Let’s hear from cardiologist Dr. Wong Tai Hung, John, who will explain why heart disease patients must be careful to avoid RSV infection.

The influenza vaccine has always been quadrivalent, but in recent years, a trivalent vaccine has emerged. What's the reason? We asked Dr. Li Xuan to explain.   "Why the change to trivalent?" According to the World Health Organization, the Yamagata lineage B virus (one of the monovalent) is no longer circulating in the human population. While the WHO still recommends four influenza vaccines, it has changed its recommendation to "trivalent provides adequate protection."   In light of this, the Hong Kong Center for Health Protection will also change its recommendation from "quadrivalent" to "trivalent or quadrivalent" starting in 2024/25. Citizens can choose to receive either influenza vaccine based on their needs. *   "Is quadrivalent effective?" Generally speaking, a higher vaccine valence indicates wider coverage. However, since one of the viruses is considered "extinct" by WHO standards, even if antibodies are injected into the body, they are virtually ineffective and will not increase the risk of illness. However, depending on the formulation of each vaccine brand, the target population varies, so quadrivalent influenza vaccines are still available.   The government provides free influenza vaccinations to eligible individuals each year. Eligible individuals* and those who have successfully registered for eHealth^ can receive government-subsidized vaccinations. For more details on the subsidy, please visit the following link:https://humanhealth.com.hk/zh-hant/Gov-funded-Programme/details/vssv-flu-vaccination   ^New subsidy conditions for the 2025-26 fiscal year. For more details on the Vaccine Subsidy Scheme, please refer to the following link: https://humanhealth.com.hk/zh-hant/Gov-funded-Programme/details/vssv-flu-vaccination   Whether receiving the trivalent or quadrivalent vaccine, getting the latest seasonal influenza vaccine as early as possible each year is the most important preventive measure. Both vaccines effectively reduce the risk of influenza infection and serious complications.
