衞生防護中心繼續採取多元策略阻截猴痘病毒傳播

衞生署衞生防護中心(中心)今日(十月十六日)錄得一宗外地輸入的猴痘確診個案。自今年八月起,本港錄得的猴痘個案大幅上升。中心已採取多元策略阻截猴痘病毒傳播,包括進行全面的流行病學調查和分析以截斷傳播鏈;加強與非政府組織合作,以便利有高風險接觸的人士接種猴痘疫苗並提高其接種意欲;以及加強宣傳和教育。多管齊下的策略取得初步成效,本月首15天的確診數字較上月(九月)同期大幅下跌超過六成,而本月首兩周於猴痘疫苗接種計劃下的接種劑數,與上月同期相比增幅逾六成。中心會繼續積極推展各項針對性的防控措施,保障市民健康。 加強預防 ———— 猴痘疫苗可預防感染和嚴重疾病。自九月底起,除政府設立的 恆常接種地點 外,中心特別在衞生防護中心大樓增設額外的猴痘疫苗接種中心,並與三間非政府組織(再思社區健康組織、香港愛滋病基金會,及香港基督教服務處)在假日或非辦公時間合辦多場外展疫苗接種服務,提供便利和誘因,鼓勵有高風險接觸的人士盡快接種疫苗。連同原有的多個接種點,中心在過去一個月內,已成功為約650名高風險人士接種猴痘疫苗。 衞生署油麻地綜合治療中心亦將於下星期六(十月二十四日)加開接種時段(上午十時至下午一時)。有風險行為人士可於星期一至星期五上午八時半至下午五時致電油麻地綜合治療中心(電話:2195 6588)預約接種猴痘疫苗。接種地點為油麻地炮台街145號油麻地賽馬會分科診療所七樓。 疫苗可提供一道非常有效保護屏障。研究顯示,接種兩劑猴痘疫苗可降低受感染機會百分之八十二,大大減低傳播給性伴侶風險,護己又護人。本港數據亦顯示有接種疫苗的患者,病毒擴散到身體其他部位的機會減少百分之八十七。中心會繼續積極增加猴痘疫苗接種的地點及時段,以進一步減低社區感染和傳播風險。 同時,中心的猴痘熱線(2125 2373)亦會繼續為高風險人士提供健康評估及建議。熱線亦會為有需要人士安排在中心接種疫苗。熱線每日上午九時至下午六時運作。 個案資料 ———— 新增外地輸入個案涉及一名36歲男子,他於十月十日開始出現發燒及喉嚨痛,身體多處地方(包括生殖器官、軀幹、手和腳)出現紅疹。他因症狀持續惡化,於十月十三日致電中心熱線,同日獲安排到瑪嘉烈醫院接受隔離治療,目前情況穩定。他的臨床樣本經中心公共衞生化驗服務處化驗後,證實對猴痘病毒呈陽性反應。根據病人提供的資料,他於潛伏期內曾在外地有高風險性接觸。中心正繼續就個案進行流行病學調查,亦會將個案通報世界衞生組織。 自二○二二年起至今,本港共錄得116宗猴痘個案(91宗本地個案和25宗輸入個案),全部病人均為男性。流行病學調查顯示,八月至今錄得的23宗個案中,所有患者報稱在潛伏期內曾進行高風險性行為,包括與陌生男士或多名伴侶發生性行為、在沒有佩戴安全套的情況下進行性行為,大部分病人未曾接種猴痘疫苗。中心的公共衞生化驗服務處就病毒進行的基因分析結果顯示,部分個案的
