Esta semana compartimos información importante sobre cuáles miembros de su familia deben recibir la vacuna contra el COVID-19. Asegúrese de volver la próxima semana para leer la cuarta parte de nuestra serie de vacunas contra el COVID-19: ¿Qué puedo esperar cuando reciba la vacuna contra el COVID-19?

‍

1. Pregunta: ¿Qué edad deben tener los niños para recibir la vacuna?‍

‍

‍Respuesta: La vacuna Pfizer está aprobada para personas mayores de 16 años. Tanto Moderna como Pfizer están realizando pruebas para administrar la vacuna a niños mayores de 12 años. Actualmente, se estima que una vacuna pediátrica se aprobará a fines de 2021.


‍2. Pregunta: Si alguien ya ha tenido COVID, ¿necesita recibir la vacuna?

‍‍
Respuesta:  ¡Esta es una gran pregunta! Incluso si un miembro de su familia ya ha estado enfermo con el COVID-19, debe recibir la vacuna.

‍

Todavía no sabemos si tiene protección contra el virus después de recuperarse del COVID-19, y no sabemos cuánto tiempo puede durar esta protección. Sin embargo, si ha tenido el COVID-19 recientemente, no debe recibir la vacuna hasta aproximadamente 90 días después del diagnóstico.

‍

Si ha estado expuesto recientemente a alguien que tenía el COVID-19, debe esperar hasta que termine su período de cuarentena antes de recibir la vacuna. Esto ayudará a proteger a las personas que administran las vacunas.

‍

3. Pregunta: ¿Pueden vacunarse las personas con alergias?
‍

Respuesta: Hasta ahora, de decenas de miles de personas en todo el mundo que han sido vacunadas con la vacuna Pfizer, tres personas informaron reacciones alérgicas graves. Estos casos se están evaluando para determinar exactamente cuáles fueron las reacciones y qué alergias (si las hay) han tenido estas personas. Antes de recibir la vacuna, debe tener una conversación con su médico sobre sus alergias.

‍

Actualmente, los CDC recomiendan que todas las personas permanezcan controladas durante 15 minutos después de vacunarse. Si ha tenido una alergia grave a una vacuna o una anafilaxia grave, los CDC recomiendan que se quede durante 30 minutos después de que se vacunan.

‍

4. Pregunta: ¿La vacuna funciona para las personas mayores?
‍

Respuesta: Los ensayos clínicos de la vacuna contra el COVID-19 han demostrado que es tan eficaz para las personas mayores como para cualquier otro grupo de edad que reciba la vacuna.

‍

5. Pregunta: Estoy inmunosuprimido y / o tengo un problema médico de alto riesgo: ¿es seguro para mí recibir la vacuna contra el COVID?

‍
Respuesta: ¡Sí! Los CDC recomiendan ABSOLUTAMENTE que las personas inmunodeprimidas o que tengan problemas médicos de alto riesgo se vacunen. Recuerde que esta no es una vacuna viva. Como resultado, la vacuna es mucho menos riesgosa que infectarse con el COVID-19. Si le preocupa recibir la vacuna, debe hablar con su médico.
‍

6. Pregunta: Tengo un trastorno autoinmune; ¿Tendré un brote cuando me pongan la vacuna?

‍

Respuesta: No se espera que las personas con enfermedades autoinmunes tengan "brotes" después de recibir la vacuna. No se observaron brotes en ninguno de los datos revisados ​​de la vacuna Pfizer; o en infecciones activas por el COVID-19.

‍‍

‍‍7. Pregunta: ¿Pueden las mujeres embarazadas o lactantes recibir la vacuna contra el COVID-19?

‍

Respuesta: Actualmente, tenemos información limitada sobre cómo la vacuna puede afectar a este grupo. La decisión de que una mujer embarazada o lactante reciba la vacuna es una decisión individual basada en el riesgo de exposición y una discusión con su médico.

‍

Después de recibir la vacuna, deberá continuar usando una mascarilla, distancia social y lavarse las manos. Si tiene preguntas sobre cómo recibir la vacuna para su familia, consulte a su médico.

Hazel gets students the right support quickly
During the pandemic, a high school student was having a hard time coping. He was sad about COVID-19 impacting his senior year, and he was worried about the state of the world. The student was also struggling with some personal conflicts, and he felt he didn't have the right support at home.

After discussing his feelings, a Hazel doctor connected him with resources that he described as “life-changing.” He was very grateful and shared that he didn't know where to go for help before Hazel.
Hazel expands Health Services at school
A child came into the health center with a sprained wrist. The school nurse helped her ice the injury, but she was still in pain. A Hazel doctor helped the nurse put the student’s wrist in a splint and gave her over-the-counter medicine to help relieve the pain.

The school nurse expressed how grateful she was that Hazel could help her care for the child. She shared that before Hazel, she could not give medication to students, and the health office did not have splints available. She thanked Hazel for helping her do more for students in need of care.
Hazel is convenient and fast for families
A mother noticed her son was getting low on his asthma medication. She tried to schedule a visit with his doctor to refill his prescription, but all of the available appointments required her to take off from work, and her son would need to miss school. She needed to get her son to the doctor so he wouldn't run out of medicine, so she reached out to Hazel.

Hazel was able to see her son and send the refill to a local pharmacy within one day. The mother was happy that there was no need to interrupt school or work to get her son to a doctor for his medicine. She was also amazed at how easy and fast the entire process was.


Student Story
A student was coughing and sneezing a lot, but her family wasn’t sure if she was sick or had allergies. Thankfully, her school used Hazel, and they could get an answer.
‍
After talking with the school nurse and the Hazel provider about her symptoms and medical history, the student was happy to find out it was likely allergies. She got some medicine and returned to class feeling better.

Parent Story
Shortly after COVID-19 began, a student began to develop tics. Her parents took her to a neurologist, but they wanted to get her into counseling as well. The student’s mother was having a hard time finding answers to her questions and didn’t know where to start the process, so she turned to Hazel.

The Hazel doctor listened as the mother shared her concerns and frustrations. Hazel reassured her that they would find the right services for her child. After the initial visit, the Hazel doctor partnered with the school counselor and the student’s mother to identify resources and counseling services that are a good fit.
A physical health visit leads to an important discovery
A student came into the nurse’s office because his vision went blurry. The Hazel doctor looked at his eyes, but he did not see any injury. As he asked him questions about his symptoms, he started to sense that he was down about something. After a few minutes, the student shared that he was really sad because his mom was recently diagnosed with cancer. He explained that he feels worried, and it’s hard for him to focus.

Hazel called home, and the student’s mother confirmed her diagnosis. They discussed how to help manage the child’s stress, and Hazel offered to connect the child with counseling resources through the school. The mother was very grateful for the guidance and was eager to get her child help during a stressful time.
