Usuku lweHlabathi lokugonya

By USarah W.

“Ukuthandabuza ngesitofu sokugonya” libinzana endingazange ndilive kakhulu ngaphambi kobhubhani we-COVID-19, kodwa ngoku ligama esiliva ngalo lonke ixesha. Kwakusoloko kukho iintsapho ezazingabagofi abantwana bazo; Ndikhumbula umhlobo wam kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo unina wamfumana exemption. Ndikwakhumbula ukuba xa ndandisebenzela esinye sezitishi zeendaba zikamabonakude zaseDenver, saxoxa a Uphononongo lwamaziko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo (CDC). efumanise ukuba iColorado inelinye lawona mazinga asezantsi okugonya esizweni. Olu phononongo lwenziwa phambi kobhubhane. Ke, umbono wokuphuma kwizitofu zokugonya awumtsha, kodwa kubonakala ngathi unikwe ubomi obutsha ukusukela oko iye yakhutshwa okokuqala eluntwini ngo-19.

Ngoxa ndiqokelela ulwazi lwe-newsletter ye-Colorado Access, ndakwazi ukufumana ulwazi olulandelayo. I IiNkcukacha zokuSebenza kwezeMpilo kunye neSeti yoLwazi (HEDIS), ujonge amazinga okugonywa kwi-2020, i-2021, kunye ne-2022 yamalungu e-Colorado Access. I-"Combination 10" yiseti yezitofu zokugonya ezibandakanya: i-diphtheria ezine, i-tetanus, kunye ne-acellular pertussis, i-poliyo engasebenziyo ezintathu, imasisi enye, i-mumps, kunye ne-rubella, ezintathu ze-haemophilus influenzae uhlobo lwe-b, ezintathu ze-hepatitis B, i-varicella enye, i-conjugate ye-pneumococcal emine. , i-rotavirus ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu, i-hepatitis A enye, kunye nezitofu zokugonya zomkhuhlane ezimbini. Ngo-2020, malunga ne-54% yamalungu e-Colorado Access afumene isitofu sabo "sokudibanisa i-10" ngexesha. Ngo-2021, inani lehlile laya kutsho malunga ne-47%, kwaye ngo-2022, lalihle laya kutsho malunga ne-38%.

Ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elithile, ndiyasiqonda isizathu sokuba abantwana abaninzi babe semva kwizitofu zabo zokugonya kwasekuqaleni. Ngexesha lokuqhambuka koqhambuko, ndandinabantwana ababini abangamakhwenkwe, bobabini babesele benazo zonke izitofu zokugonya ababezidinga ukuze baye esikolweni. Unyana wam wemvelo wayengekazalwa. Ngoko ke, lo mbandela wawungengomnye endandisingathe ngokobuqu. Nangona kunjalo, ndingazibeka ezihlangwini zomzali oza kundwendwelwa equleni elibandakanya isitofu sokugonya kwindawo ephezulu yobhubhani we-COVID-19, xa ukungaqiniseki okuninzi kusajikeleze intsholongwane kunye nefuthe layo ebantwaneni. Ndinokucinga ukuba ndifuna ukutsiba olo tyelelo kwiofisi kagqirha, ndifanekise umntwana wam ehleli ecaleni komnye umntwana ogulayo kwaye osulelwa sisifo esibulalayo. Ndizibone ndiqiqa ngelithi umntwana wam angaya esikolweni senyani, ke isitofu sokugonya sinokulinda de babuyele kwigumbi lokufundela ngokobuqu.

Ngelixa ndiyasiqonda isizathu sokuba abazali balibazise ugonyo ngexesha lo bhubhani, kwaye nokuba kutheni ngamanye amaxesha kunokuba nzima ukuba umntwana wakho atofwe ngezidubu ezininzi ezahlukeneyo kwidinga rhoqo emva kweenyanga ezimbalwa eselusana, ndiyayazi nokuba kubaluleke kangakanani ndifumanele mna kunye nomntwana wam izitofu.

Enye into eye yaqaqambisa oku kum kutsha nje kukudala eyokuqala isitofu sokugonya se-syncytial virus (RSV)., eyavunywa ngoMeyi 2023. Unyana wam wokwenene wazalwa ngaphambi kwexesha kwiiveki ezingama-34 ekhulelwe. Ngenxa yoko, kunye nenyaniso yokuba wazalelwa eColorado kwindawo ephakamileyo, kwafuneka asebenzise itanki ye-oxygen kude kwaye ade abe neenyanga ezimbini ubudala. Walaliswa esibhedlele kanye emva kokuba egqibe inyanga enye ubudala kuba oogqirha boyika ukuba wosulelwe yintsholongwane yokuphefumla kwaye njenge "preemie" babemfuna kunye namazinga akhe oksijini abekwe esweni. Ndaxelelwa kwigumbi likaxakeka kwiSibhedlele saBantwana saseColorado ukuba umntwana uthathwa njenge-preemie kwaye uphathwa ngendlela eyahlukileyo de abe ngunyaka omnye ubudala.

Ngenxa yembali yakhe, ndiyathemba ukuba uya kukwazi ukufumana isitofu sokugonya se-RSV. Ukufumaneka kwayo akukaxhaphakanga okwangoku, kwaye kukho iminyaka enqunyulwayo kwiinyanga ezisibhozo ubudala. Nangona sele edlulile kwiminyaka yakhe yobudala, ugqirha uya kumnika de afikelele “kwiminyaka elungelelanisiweyo” yeenyanga ezisibhozo (oku kuthetha ukuba xa efikelela kwiinyanga ezisibhozo ngaphambi komhla wakhe. ixesha lokulandelelana, ngoko uphelelwa lixesha).

Ndaxelelwa okokuqala ngesitofu kutyelelo lwakhe lwasequleni lweenyanga ezintandathu. Ndiyakuvuma ukuba iingcinga ezininzi zazibaleka entlokweni yam njengoko ugqirha wayechaza esi sitofu sokugonya esasikhutshwe kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa ngaphambili. Ndazibuza ukuba ingaba iziphumo zexesha elide zifundisiwe na, ingaba kufuneka afumane isitofu sokugonya esitsha kwaye esingekagqibi kwixesha lonyaka le-RSV, kwaye ingaba ikhuselekile ngokubanzi. Kodwa ekupheleni kosuku, ndiyazi ukuba ukosulelwa kwakhe yintsholongwane eyosulela kakhulu kwaye iyingozi kakhulu ukuba angabeka emngciphekweni, kwaye andifuni ukuba adlule kobu busika buvezwe koko kunokwenzeka ukuba ndingamnceda.

Ndiyakwazi nokungqina ukubaluleka kokuzigonya. Ngo-2019, ndathabatha uhambo oluya eMorocco nabanye abahlobo bam ndavuka ngenye intsasa ndazibona ndigqunywe ngamaqhuma arhawuzelayo ebusweni bam, entanyeni, emqolo, nasengalweni yam. Ndandingaqinisekanga ukuba yintoni ebangele la maqhuma; Ndandikhwele inkamela ndize ndisentlango ngezolo, mhlawumbi ndandilunywe yincukuthu. Ndandingaqinisekanga enoba zikho naziphi na izinambuzane ezithwala izifo kuloo mmandla, ngoko ndandixhalabile yaye ndandizijongisisa iimpawu zokugula okanye umkhuhlane. Nangona kunjalo, ndandikrokrela ukuba zibangelwa ziincukuthu, ngenxa yokuba zazibekwe kwindawo ethe yabamba ibhedi. Xa ndabuyela eColorado, ndabona ugqirha wam owandicebisa ukuba ndingafumani umkhuhlane de kube lixesha elithile, kuba kuya kuba nzima ukuxelela ukuba iimpawu zibangelwa ngumkhuhlane wam okanye into ehambelana nokulunywa.

Hayi ke ndagqibela ndilibele kubuyela kwishot ndafumana umkhuhlane. Yayimbi kakhulu. Kangangeeveki neeveki, ndandinamafinyila amaninzi; Bendisebenzisa iitawuli zephepha ukuvuthela impumlo kunye nokukhohlela iphlegm kuba izicubu bezingayisikwanga. Ndandicinga ukuba ukhohlokhohlo lwam alusoze luphele. Kwanenyanga emva kokuba ndifumene umkhuhlane, ndasokola ngelixa ndizama ukwenza umkhondo olula wokuhamba ekhephini. Ukusukela ngoko ukuya phambili, bendikukhuthalele ukufumana isitofu somkhuhlane rhoqo ekwindla. Ngelixa bekunokuba kubi ngakumbi kunomkhuhlane, yayisisikhumbuzo esihle sokuba ukufumana intsholongwane kubi kakhulu kunokudubula. Izibonelelo zodlula nayiphi na imingcipheko emincinci eyayanyaniswa nesitofu sokugonya.

Ukuba awuqinisekanga malunga nokufumana i-COVID-19, umkhuhlane, okanye naluphi na olunye ugonyo, ukuthetha nogqirha wakho ngolwazi oluthe kratya linyathelo lokuqala elilungileyo. IColorado Access nayo inakho ulwazi ngokhuseleko kunye nendlela yokugonywa kwaye kukho ezinye izixhobo ezingenakubalwa, kubandakanywa Iwebhusayithi yeCDC, ukuba unemibuzo malunga nogonyo, indlela olusebenza ngayo, nokunye. Ukuba ujonge indawo yokufumana isitofu sakho sokugonya, i-CDC nayo inalo isixhobo sokufumana isitofu sokugonya.
