Are infrared thermometers going to harm the human body?
The working principle of an infrared thermometer is that when the infrared thermal radiation of the human body is focused on the detector, the detector converts the radiation power into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is displayed in units of temperature after being compensated for the ambient temperature. Therefore, the infrared thermometer does not emit infrared radiation to the human body, but receives the infrared thermal radiation emitted by our body, which is harmless to our eyes and body.
It's time for the children to get vaccinated. Should we go get vaccinated? Parents are advised to pay attention to the work arrangements of the local vaccination clinic, communicate with the vaccination doctor about their child's specific situation, and make separate appointments or separate vaccinations. The first dose of hepatitis B vaccine and BCG vaccine for newborns should be completed in the midwifery in time according to the national immunization planning procedures.
If the mother is positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, it is recommended to make an appointment with the vaccination unit for the second and third doses of vaccine for the newborn. Rabies and tetanus vaccines are used for post exposure prevention and must be administered in a timely manner according to vaccination procedures.
If there is a community transmitted epidemic in the community, the vaccination of other immunization plans besides the four vaccines mentioned earlier can be suspended, and attention should be paid to timely re vaccination after the community epidemic ends. If there is no community transmitted epidemic in the community, vaccination can be selected according to the requirements of the local health department, disease control institutions, and the arrangement of the vaccination unit.
When getting vaccinated, it is important to take protective measures for both children and parents, wear masks, avoid touching hospital items, pay attention to hand hygiene, avoid rubbing eyes, nose, and mouth with hands, and clean hands in a timely manner.
How should babies take proper precautions? Because babies cannot wear masks, which can easily cause breathing difficulties and even suffocation risks, they should try to avoid going out as much as possible. Infant protection is mainly passive protection, relying on parents, family members, and caregivers to indirectly protect children. During the epidemic, in order to minimize the risk of infant infection, a relatively fixed caregiver can be appointed. The caregiver should try not to go out, first wear a mask, and second, do not sneeze or exhale at the child.
Caregivers should wash their hands when in contact with children's toys, utensils, and daily necessities, or before communicating and playing with them. Do not share utensils with children, do not blow food with your mouth when feeding them, and do not try or chew food with your mouth before feeding them.
