联合王国的疫苗咨询机构JCVI建议从2025年春季开始,终止孕妇免费的COVID疫苗,这引起了人们的关切。 The UK's vaccine advisory body, JCVI, has recommended ending free COVID vaccines for pregnant women starting spring 2025, sparking concerns. 疫苗可以降低孕妇严重的COVID风险,并将保护性抗体传递给新生儿,降低她们住院的风险。 Vaccines reduce severe COVID risks for pregnant women and can pass protective antibodies to newborns, lowering their risk of hospitalization. 批评者认为,这一决定忽略了这些福利,特别是6个月以下婴儿住院的风险最高。 Critics argue the decision overlooks these benefits, especially as infants under six months have the highest risk of COVID hospitalization. JCVI的成本效益评估方法仍然不明确,因为它侧重于预防15岁及以上死亡,而不考虑婴儿的脆弱性。 The JCVI's cost-effectiveness assessment method remains unclear, as it focuses on preventing deaths in those 15 and older, not accounting for infant vulnerabilities.
