On April 23, the Council of Science and Technology (Department of Science and Technology of Khanh Hoa province) held a meeting to evaluate the proposal of a provincial scientific research project on ‘Assessment of the current status of antitoxin residues. Diphtheria factor at the age from 5 to 40 in the population of Khanh Hoa province ‘. The project is chaired by Pasteur Institute Nha Trang.
Around the meeting. Accordingly, diphtheria is an infectious disease, acute poisoning, respiratory transmission and potentially epidemic. In Vietnam, diphtheria – pertussis – tetanus vaccination has been included in the expanded vaccination since 1984 with 3 basic doses for children aged 2-4 months. However, now diphtheria epidemic has returned and is a public health problem of concern; 93.2% of cases recorded in the Central region are between the ages of 5-40 years old, and cases occur in children who have been vaccinated with 3-4 doses of vaccine containing ingredients. previously detoxified diphtheria. Therefore, the determination of antibodies to diphtheria toxins and factors related to antibody retention in the 5-40 year old target group is necessary for the implementation of appropriate epidemic response activities. , effective. Especially, Khanh Hoa is a province with developed tourism and large trade, bordering provinces with epidemic circulation, so it is necessary to conduct research on the topic. From the above practice, the topic has focused on researching contents such as: determining the residue of antibodies to diphtheria toxin at the age from 5-40 years old in the provincial community; describe a number of factors related to the persistence of antibodies to diphtheria toxin; propose solutions to prevent and control diphtheria … The results of this research topic will contribute to the development of policies and solutions for the preventive medicine sector of Khanh Hoa in particular and provinces and cities in general in the strategic orientation of the prevention and control of leukemia. almost. Along with that, assessing the current situation of the residue of diphtheria toxin antibodies in the province, helping to have an overall view of the status of immunity to diphtheria in the community; From there, help us to recognize, evaluate and improve the effectiveness of immunization in the future … Explanation of topics approved by the Council of Science and Technology of Khanh Hoa province, allowing Nha Trang Pasteur Institute to implement; Expected implementation time is from 7-2021 to 12-2022.
