呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)是常見於香港的嬰幼兒呼吸道感染病毒,對幼兒的健康構成重大威脅:
- 傳染性極高:全年不分季節均有感染風險,超過90%的2歲以下嬰幼兒曾經感染過 RSV
- 病情惡化極快:嬰幼兒感染 RSV 的住院風險是流感的16倍,亦是1歲以下嬰兒住院的主要原因
- 感染一次影響一生:RSV現時無藥可醫,嬰幼兒亦有機會重覆感染,令呼吸道機能受損,影響可持續10年
每枝預防性抗體售價數千港元,並需要由院舍自費購買。
您的支持和捐助,將直接幫助本會近百位住宿幼兒接種RSV預防性抗體。
誠邀您與我們一起共同為幼兒築起健康防線,讓他們健康愉快地成長。
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus affecting toddlers in Hong Kong that significantly threatens their health:
- Highly Contagious: RSV infections can occur throughout the year with no distinct seasonal pattern. Over 90% of toddlers under two years old have been infected with RSV.
- Rapid Disease Progression: RSV infection carries a hospitalisation risk 16 times higher than influenza in infants and young children. It is also the foremost cause of hospital admissions among infants under one year old.
-
Lasting Impact from a Single Infection: RSV has no cure. Furthermore, there are high risk of repeated infections that will cause long-term respiratory damage to children that may last up to 10 years.
With each dose of RSV immunisation priced at several thousand Hong Kong dollars,
our residential home is required to bear the full cost of procurement.
Your support and donation will directly help nearly 100 residential children receive RSV immunisation.
We sincerely invite you to join us in defending against RSV for children, giving them the opportunity to grow up healthily and happily.
