2026/27 Influenza Vaccine (Fluarix Tetra) FAQ

什麼是季節性流感?

季節性流感主要是由社區上流行的流感病毒所引致,是一種急性呼吸道疾病,主要透過飛沫傳播。在香港,流感一般於冬季一至三、四月及夏季七及八月流行。 ²

流感帶來什麼威脅?

全球每年高達 10% 的成年人及高達30%的兒童曾感染過流感病毒⁶流感每年導致全球多達 65 人死亡⁴

流感每年導致全球多達

  • 500萬宗嚴重疾病⁴
  • 111,500個¹⁰5歲以下兒童死亡*

*與不相關的急性下呼吸道感染

為什麼流感疫苗從四價轉為三價?

世界衛生組織(WHO)每年根據全球流感病毒流行趨勢,建議流感疫苗的病毒株組合¹¹。2025-2026年度開始,WHO建議北半球使用價流感疫苗,因自2020年3月以來,全球未能檢測到B/Yamagata 系病毒。¹²

我去年已經接種了流感疫苗,所以今年不需要再打嗎?

不正確。每年流行的流感病毒株也有可能隨季節改變,所以你需要接受當季的疫苗注射以針對新一季的流感病毒株。而且,你的身體的免疫反應也會隨著時間下降。因此,世界衛生組織及衛生防護中心也建議應每年接種當季的流感疫苗。⁽²⁾⁽⁹⁾

流感與感冒不同嗎?

流感與感冒是不同的。它是由不同組合的病毒引起的。一般來說,流感的病徵比普通感冒嚴重。感冒通常不會導致嚴重的健康問題。

但流感則可能導致非常嚴重的併發症或輕度至重度疾病,例如肺炎細菌感染住院治療,甚至可能引致死亡

流感疫苗有效嗎?

有效。雖然其效果會因每年不同的流感病毒株而產生變化,但國際衛生組織仍建議接種流感疫苗預防流感或降低流感嚴重程度。 ⁽⁴⁾⁽⁸⁾⁽⁹⁾

流感病毒引起流感

大多數流感流行是由甲型和乙型流感病毒引起的,包括甲型流感H1N1、甲型流感H3N2乙型流感/維多利亞型病毒

流感有什麼病徵?

流感可引致嚴重併發症甚至死亡。流感發病一般比較突然,病徵包括:

  • 咳嗽
  • 肌肉痛
  • 頭痛
  • 喉嚨痛
  • 流鼻水
  • 發高燒
  • 發冷

流感病毒容易傳播

季節性流感(病毒)在擠擁的地方,例如學校和療養院都較容易迅速傳播。

當受感染者咳嗽或打噴感染時,病毒(具傳染性)會隨著空氣而散播至一米遠,傳播給共同空間的近距離的人士。此外,流感病毒也會經由受感染的分泌物傳播。為預防感染,人們在咳嗽時,雙手應用紙巾遮住口鼻,並經常洗澡。
