Isebenza Kangakanani Isibhamu Somkhuhlane Kulo nyaka?

• Ngakho-ke, kusebenza kangakanani ukudubula komkhuhlane kulo nyaka?
• Ngabe kusebenza kangakanani ukudutshulwa komkhuhlane ngokujwayelekile?
• Buyekeza kwe-

Inkathi yomkhuhlane isiqalile, okusho ukuthi yisikhathi sokuthola umkhuhlane ASAP. Kepha uma ungeyena umlandeli wezinaliti, kungenzeka ukuthi ufuna imininingwane engaphezulu, njengokuthi umkhuhlane udlala kangakanani, futhi uma ulufanele ngisho nohambo oluya kudokotela. (Spoiler: Kuyinto.)

Okokuqala, uma ukhathazekile ukuthi ukuthola isibhamu somkhuhlane kuzokwenzanika wena mkhuhlane, lokho kungumbono oyiphutha ngokuphelele. Imiphumela emibi yokudutshulwa komkhuhlane ngokuvamile ifaka ukudabuka, ubumnene, nokuvuvukala endaweni yomjovo. Okubi kakhulu, wenaamandla babe nezimpawu ezinjengomkhuhlane ngokushesha ngemva kokudutshulwa, njengomkhuhlane wezinga eliphansi, ubuhlungu bemisipha, ukukhathala, nobuhlungu bekhanda, uGustavo Ferrer, M.D., umsunguli weCleveland Clinic Florida Cough Clinic, ngaphambili wasitshela. (I-FluMist, isifutho sokugomela umkhuhlane emakhaleni, ingaba nemiphumela emibi efanayo.)

Kepha uma kucatshangelwa isizini yomkhuhlane ka-2017-2018 ibingesinye sezifo ezibulala kakhulu emashumini eminyaka—ngokufa kwabantu abangaphezu kuka-80,000 sebebonke, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—ungcono ngempela ukuthi ugonywe kunokungagonywa. (Okuhlobene: Ingabe Umuntu Onempilo Angabulawa Umkhuhlane?)

Futhi, ngenkathi inkathi yomkhuhlane yanyakenye yayingeyona eyokubulala, yayingenye yezinto ezinde kunazo zonke emlandweni: Yaqala ngo-Okthoba futhi yaqhubeka ngoMeyi, yabamba ongoti abaningi bezempilo bengazelele. Ngasohlangothini olukhanyayo, maphakathi nesizini, izibalo ziveze ukuthi ukudutshulwa komkhuhlane kwehlise ingozi yokuthola lesi sifo ngamaphesenti angama-47 kubantu abagonyiwe, ngokusho kombiko weCDC. Qhathanisa lokho nesizini yomkhuhlane ka-2017-2018 lapho umkhuhlane udutshulwe ngamaphesenti angama-36 kubantu abagonyiwe, futhi kungase kuzwakale sengathi umgomo uba ngcono unyaka ngamunye, akunjalo?

Hhayi-ke impela. Khumbula, ukusebenza kahle komkhuhlane, ingxenye enkulu, kuwukubonakaliswa kohlobo oludlangile lomkhuhlane, nokuthi uyawamukela kanjani umgomo.

Ngakho-ke, kusebenza kangakanani ukudubula komkhuhlane kulo nyaka?

Inkathi yomkhuhlane ayihlali kuze kube maphakathi no-Okthoba, ngakho-ke kusesekuseni kakhulu ukuthi ungazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi iziphi izifo ezizovelela kakhulu. Noma kunjalo, ukuze amashothi alungele isizini, ochwepheshe kufanele banqume ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo ezizofakwa emgomeni kusenesikhathi. Ama-Strains H1N1, H3N2, nazo zombili izinhlobo zomkhuhlane B kulindeleke ukuthi zisakaze kule sizini, kanti umuthi wokugoma we-2019-2020 uvuselelwe ukufanisa kangcono lezi zinhlobo, kusho uRina Shah, PharmD, iphini likamongameli weqembu lama-Walgreens.

Noma kunjalo, i-CDC ithi cishe akunakwenzeka ukucacisa ukuthi umkhuhlane uzosebenza kanjani kunoma yimuphi unyaka onikeziwe. Kuya ngezinto eziningi ezahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi umdlalo phakathi kwegciwane lokugoma namagciwane ajikelezayo, kanye neminyaka yobudala nomlando wezempilo womuntu ogonyiwe.

Lokho kusho ukuthi, ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi lo mkhuhlane walo nyaka uzosebenza cishe ngamaphesenti angama-47, kusho uNiket Sonpal, MD, isazi sokuqeqeshelwa umsebenzi kanye nesifo samathumbu esizinze eNew York City. (Okuhlobene: Ungalwa Kanjani Nomkhuhlane Ngokuzivocavoca)

Ngabe kusebenza kangakanani ukudutshulwa komkhuhlane ngokujwayelekile?

Uma umuthi wokugomela umkhuhlane ungahambelani kahle namagciwane omkhuhlane azungeze wena, kungenzeka ukuthi, noma ngabe ugonyiwe, usengawuthola umkhuhlane, ngokusho kommeleli we-CVS. Kodwa-ke, uma umuthi wokugoma uhambelana kahle, ucwaningo oluvela ku-CDC lukhombisa ukuthi umkhuhlane udutshulwe ngokuvamile uphakathi kwamaphesenti angama-40 kuye kwangama-60 asebenzayo.

Into eyodwa iqinisekile, noma kunjalo: Uma ungatholi umkhuhlane, usengozini yokuthola umkhuhlane ngamaphesenti ayi-100.

I-CDC incoma ukuthi umkhuhlane udutshulwe ekuqaleni kokuwa (aka manje), njengoba kungathatha amasonto amabili ngemuva kokugonyelwa ukuthi amasosha omzimba avikelekile emzimbeni, kuchaza uDkt. Sonpal. Ungathola umkhuhlane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi phakathi nenkathi (kusazosizakala), kepha uma ubheka ukuthi inkathi yomkhuhlane iphakama phakathi kukaDisemba noFebhuwari — futhi, ngokusobala, ingahlala ngoMeyi — ukubheja kwakho okuhle kakhulu ukugwema ukugula ukuthola umkhuhlane wadubula NGOKUSHESHA. Futhi, kunezindawo eziningi ongaya kuzo ukuthola umkhuhlane mahhala, ngakho-ke ulindeni?
