医師からのワンポイント アドバイス

---

ジカウイルスの感染症は、ジカウイルスを持った人から血を吸いジカウイルスを持つようになった蚊に刺されることによって感染します。その感染者が、別の蚊に刺されると、今度はその蚊にジカウイルスが移ります。

自分が感染しないために、そして他の人に感染を広げないために、蚊に刺されないようにすることが大事です。特に妊婦中の女性は、蚊に刺されないように注意してください。

＊蚊に刺されない対策を！

・肌の露出を避ける。（長袖、長ズボンの着用をする。）

・虫除けスプレーを使用する。

・蚊取り線香などを使用する。

＊蚊の発生を抑える対策を！

ジカウイルスを媒介する蚊の発生を抑えることが大事です。屋外や屋内に置かれた植木鉢の受け皿や空き缶、ペットボトルに溜まった水などに好んで産卵し、孵化した幼虫がそこで成長します。家の周囲に不要な水溜まりがないかをこまめにチェックしましょう。

ジカウイルスの感染症の症状は様々ですが、主な症状として、軽度の発熱、発疹、結膜炎、筋肉痛、関節痛、倦怠感、頭痛などがあります。

ジカウイルス感染症を疑う症状がある時は、直ちに医師にご相談ください。

Asymptomatic patients may not display no symptoms of illness. Vulnerable people should get vaccinated against Influenza as the stop gap until the COVID vaccine is found. The Flu vaccine would protect susceptible people from, as well as exclude the Flu and H1N1 viruses should they start to show URTI or ARI symptoms.

- Latest Influenza Vaccine

The latest Influenza Vaccine is now available. It protects against the Flu and H1N1 Viruses. In the event that a person displays flu-like symptoms after the Flu vaccination, both Flu and H1N1 may be excluded in his diagnosis, and treatment can be sought quickly should the patient have contracted COVID-19.

Ministry of Health Safety protocols are adhered to at all times for the safe vaccination of you and your family.
