Ukuba uzifundile iindaba mvanje, ungaphaya kokuqhambuka kwemasisi ngoku ehlasela i-US Ukusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2019, amatyala angama-626 axeliwe kumazwe angama-22, kwilizwe liphela, ngokweZiko loLawulo lwezifo. kunye noThintelo (CDC). Oku kunyuka kwezigulo kwenzeka ngequbuliso kwaye kuyaxhalabisa, kangangokuba kwabanjwa udliwano-ndlebe lwenkongolo malunga nokuba makwenziwe ntoni ngalo.

Inkxalabo ayinasihlahla nayo, ingakumbi xa kucingwa ukuba i-US ibhengeze ukuba imasisi izakupheliswa ngo-2000 ngenxa yokusetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwesitofu sokugonya seMasisi kunye ne-Rubella (MMR).

Isigulo khange sibekho okwethutyana, sibangela ukudideka kunye nolwazi olungelulo olwenziweyo ngesihloko. Abanye abantu bavakalelwa kukuba abaphambukeli abangagonywanga banoxanduva lokuqhambuka okusekwe kwinto ebonakala ngathi lucalucalulo lobuhlanga nezopolitiko. Inyaniso, nangona kunjalo, kukuba uninzi lwezifo ezinokuthintelwa lokugonya ezifana nemasisi azinanto yakwenza nabaphambukeli okanye iimbacu kwaye zinento yokwenza nabemi base-US abangagonywanga abahamba ngaphandle kwelizwe, begula, kwaye beza ekhaya benesifo.

Esinye isikolo sokucinga kukuba ukosuleleka kwimasisi kunokuba yinto elungileyo kumajoni omzimba omntu, ke yomelele kwaye iyakwazi ukulwa nezifo ezinzulu njengomhlaza. (Iindaba ezingezizo.)

Kodwa ngazo zonke ezi zimvo zijikelezayo, iingcali ziphinda phinda ingozi enokubakho ekukholelweni ezo zingaxhaswanga yisayensi kuba ngelixa imasisi ngokwayo ingabangeli ukufa, iingxaki zesigulo zinakho.

Ke kwinto yokuzahlula inyani kubuxoki kwaye siboleke ngokucacileyo kwimeko yokudideka neyothusayo, siphendule imibuzo eqhelekileyo yemasisi, kubandakanya nokuba ungakhathalelwa buqu kangakanani.

Yintoni Imasisi?

Imasisi lusulelo lwentsholongwane olusuleleka ngendlela emangalisayo olungenako ukunyangwa ngamayeza okubulala iintsholongwane. Ukuba awugonywanga kwaye usegumbini elinomntu onemasisi, kwaye bakhwehlela, bathimla, okanye bavuthele impumlo kwindawo yakho ngokubanzi, unethuba lokufumana usulelo amaxesha alithoba kwali-10, utshilo uCharles Bailey MD , ingcali yezifo ezosulelayo kunye neSibhedlele saseSt Joseph eCalifornia.

Ngokuqinisekileyo ngekhe uyazi ukuba unemasisi kwangoko. Usulelo luyaziwa ngokungqubana okungafaniyo kunye namabala amhlophe amancinci ngaphakathi emlonyeni, kodwa ezo zihlala ziimpawu zokugqibela ukuvela. Ngapha koko, unokuhambahamba ngemasisi ukuya kuthi ga kwiiveki ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba uhlakulele naziphi na iimpawu ezinje ngomkhuhlane, ukukhwehlela, impumlo egudileyo, kunye namehlo amanzi. "Abantu bathathwa njengabosulelayo kwiintsuku ezintathu okanye ezine ngaphambi kokuba kufike irhashalala, kwaye emva kweentsuku ezintathu okanye iintsuku," utshilo uGqirha Bailey. "Ke amathuba okuba usasaze kwabanye ngaphandle kokwazi ukuba unayo makhulu kakhulu kunezinye izifo ezifanayo." (Inxulumene: Yintoni ebangela ulusu lwakho olurhawuzelelwa?)

Kuba akukho lonyango lwemasisi, umzimba uyanyanzeliswa ukuba ulwe nje ngokuhamba kwezi veki zimbini. Nangona kunjalo, kukho ithuba lokuba ungafa ngenxa yokuba unemasisi. Phantse umntu omnye kwaliwaka ubulawa sisifo semasisi, ngesiqhelo ngenxa yeengxaki eziza nokulwa esi sifo, utshilo uGqirha Bailey. "Malunga neepesenti ezingama-30 zabantu abanesifo semasisi bahlakulela iingxaki zokuphefumla neze-neurologic ezingasongela ubomi." (Idibeneyo: Ngaba unokufa kwi-Flu?)

Ezona meko zeengxaki zempilo kwimasisi zixa umntu ehlaselwa sisifo sokudumba isifo i-panencephalitis okanye i-SSP, utshilo uGqirha Bailey. Le meko ibangela ukuba imasisi ihlale ingasebenzi engqondweni iminyaka esixhenxe ukuya kweli-10 kwaye ivuke ngokungenamkhethe. "Oku kubangela ukusabela komzimba okunokubangela ukuxhuzula, isiqaqa kunye nokufa," utshilo. "Alukho unyango kwaye akukho mntu waziwa ukuba uyasinda kwi-SSP."

Ungazi njani ukuba ukhuselwe kwimasisi

Ukususela ngo-1989, i-CDC yacebisa amanani amabini okugonya kwe-MMR. Eyokuqala phakathi kweenyanga ezili-12 ukuya kwezi-15 ubudala, kwaye eyesibini iphakathi kweminyaka emine nesithandathu ubudala. Ke ukuba uyenzile loo nto, kuya kufuneka ulungele yonke into. Kodwa ukuba awukawafumani omabini amayeza, okanye ugonywe phambi kuka-1989, kuyafaneleka ukuba ucele ugqirha wakho ukuba akuphe ugonyo lwe-booster, utsho uGqr. Bailey.

Ewe kunjalo, njengazo naziphi na izitofu zokugonya, i-MMR ayinakusebenza ngeepesenti ezili-100. Ke kusekho ukubanakho ukuba ungayifumana le ntsholongwane, ngakumbi ukuba amajoni akho omzimba athomalalisiwe. Oko kuthethiweyo, ukugonywa kuya kunceda unobangela wakho nokuba uyosuleleka yintsholongwane. UGqirha Bailey uthi: "Unokuba nesifo esibi kakhulu kwintsholongwane kwaye akunakufane ukusasazeka kwabanye." (Ngaba ubusazi ukuba olu hlobo lomkhuhlane luyenyuka?)

UGqr. Bailey uthi: Ngoxa abantwana, abantu abakhulileyo kunye nabo bajamelene nezinye izifo eziyingozi basesengozini enkulu yokwasulelwa yimasisi, amabhinqa akhulelweyo nawo kufuneka alumke ngakumbi. Ukuba nemasisi ngexesha lokukhulelwa akusayi kubangela iziphene zokuzalwa, kodwa kunokukhokelela ekusebenzeni kwangaphambi kwexesha kunye nokwandisa umngcipheko wokuphuphuma kwesisu. Kwaye ekubeni ungekhe ugonywe ngelixa ukhulelwe, kungcono ukuba uqiniseke ukuba ugonyo lwakho luhlaziyiwe ngaphambi kokuba uqale ukukhulelwa.

Kukwalumkile ukwenza ulumkiso olongezelelekileyo ngokusekwe kwindawo ohlala kuyo. Abantu abahlala kumazwe angama-22 abaye babona ukunyuka kwemasisi, ngakumbi abo bangagonywanga, kufuneka bafune uncedo lonyango kwangoko xa beqala ukubona iimpawu. Kuba esi sifo siyosulela, nkqu nabo zi ugonyo banomngcipheko omkhulu wokosuleleka ukuba ngaba bahlala kwindawo enexinano ephezulu yemasisi. Kubalulekile ke ukuba uqaphele abo bakungqongileyo kwaye uthathe amanyathelo okhuseleko njengokuhlamba izandla rhoqo kwaye unxibe imaski xa ukwindawo ezinobungozi njengamagumbi okulinda esibhedlele, utshilo uGqirha Bailey.

Kutheni IMasisi Ibuyile?

Akukho mpendulo ithile. Okokuqala, abantu abaninzi bayavunyelwa ukuba bagonye abantwana babo ngenxa yezizathu zonqulo nezokuziphatha, kubangele ukuwa kwento ebizwa ngokuba yi "herd immunity" ekhusele abantu baseMelika kwimasisi kumashumi eminyaka, utshilo uGqirha Bailey. Ukuzikhusela komzimba weHerd kubalulekile xa abantu bezakhele ukumelana nezifo ezosulelayo ngenqanaba eliphezulu lokugonya.

Ukugcina ukhuseleko lomhlambi phakathi kwama-85 kunye nama-94 eepesenti yabemi kufuneka bagonywe. Kodwa kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, i-US iwele ngaphantsi kobuncinci, ibangela ukuphindaphinda okubandakanya okutsha kakhulu. Yiyo loo nto iindawo ezinogonyo oluphantsi olunje ngeBrooklyn, kunye neendawo zaseCarlifonia naseMichigan, zibone ukonyuka okukhawulezayo kwemeko yemasisi kunye nezigulo ezinxulumene nosulelo.

Okwesibini, ngelixa i-U.S ithathela ingqalelo imasisi ukuba mayipheliswe (ngaphandle kokuphakama kwayo) ayisiyiyo imeko kwihlabathi liphela. Abantu abangaxilwangayo abahamba phesheya kwezilwandle banokubuyisa ukugula bevela kumazwe okwangoku abaqubuka kwimasisi yabo. Oko kuhambelana nokukhula kwabantu abangagonywanga e-US kubangela ukuba isigulo sisasazeke njengomlilo wasendle.

Undoqo ulula: Ukuze wonke umntu akhuseleke kwimasisi, wonke umntu onokugonywa kuya kufuneka enjenjalo. UGqr. "Isitofu sokugonya siyasebenza kwaye sikhuselekile, ke eyona nto intle yokuqhubela phambili iya kuba kukuqinisekisa ukuba sonke sikhuselekile."
