4580 The Other Side 549
Three days later.
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, who had been keeping watch in the ward, finally received good news. The first vaccines had been clinically introduced.
Little Yichen was among the second batch of patients to receive the vaccine.
She had heard the information from Chu He, who had been paying attention to the news recently. Finally, after hundreds of experiments, the vaccine was successfully launched. Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ could not contain her excitement when she heard the news!
!!Youyou was also in the ward. He had just taken his medicine and was feeling drowsy. Upon hearing Chu He’s words, he suddenly sat up in bed.
“Really?!”
The woman nodded. “Yes, it’s true. I’ve double-checked. As expected, the vaccination will begin tomorrow. Baby Chu will be among the first batch given it, and Little Yichen will be among the second.”
“Really!”
“That’s great!”
Yun s.h.i.+ held the other woman’s hand tightly, trembling with excitement.
“You can rest a.s.sured now! The doctor said that if the vaccination is successful, Little Yichen and Baby Chu should be able to leave the quarantine zone soon!”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ nodded.
“However, because it’s just the second batch, we won’t know if there are any side effects to the vaccine.”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s expression turned grave at that.
Chu He replied nervously, “I’ve looked up some information before. Before this, SARS, similar to this influenza, had wreaked havoc around the world. However, after the vaccine was introduced into the clinic, although the patients recovered and were discharged, due to the vaccine and the SARS epidemic at that time, the aftereffects gradually became apparent after the patients were discharged.”
At that time, hormone drugs were used in large quant.i.ties for emergency treatment. Because of the use of hormones to suppress the disease, and side effects of hormones led to necrosis of the femoral bones in some patients.
Diffused interst.i.tial fibrosis of the respiratory system, ischemic lesions and necrosis of the femur of the motor system… Even though they survived the infection, they lived the rest of their lives in pain.
Youyou took a deep breath. “As long as he survives. No matter what pain he suffers in the future, I’ll accompany him through it. Comes to the worst, I’ll look after him!” After a pause, he continued, “However, the flu this time is different from SARS. I’ve studied Little Yichen’s treatment plan. I’ve also a.n.a.lyzed the composition of the vaccine this time. There are no ingredients used that are harmful to the human body. If we really want to list the side effects, it’s probably weight loss over an extended period, and outflow of nutrition due to the body’s consumption.”
The boy spoke frankly and logically as he a.n.a.lyzed the situation.
Chu He was dumbfounded when she heard this. She looked at Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ in a daze and asked in disbelief, “How old is he exactly?”
“Eleven years old…”
Chu He was even more amazed.
She naturally thought about her own son, who was about the same age as Youyou. Indeed, if one didn’t compare, no harm was done. Why did she raise a landlord’s silly son, while someone else’s son was so smart!
“In short, as long as this vaccine can cure Little Yichen, anything else doesn’t bother me.” After a pause, the boy continued, “Even if his health should be damaged from this flu, I’ll take care of him for the rest of his life.”
Pleased, she put her arms around the boy and kissed his forehead gently. “Good boy. I thought you said you’d studied the ingredients and that there weren’t many side effects?”
“Yes, but it can’t be foolproof. Even if there are any sequelae, Yichen still has us.”
