COVID-19 vaccine
In 2020, the world will be "baptized" by COVID-19, and people are looking forward to the success of COVID-19 vaccine research and development, as well as their own vaccination. Since December, there have been a series of local cases in many places in China. As the weather gets colder, the most concerned topic of the people is the vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine.
You may have these questions about COVID-19 vaccine. Experts will answer them one by one.
What are the key populations for vaccination?
According to the unified deployment of the State Council, the key personnel for COVID-19 vaccination will include: cold chain logistics personnel, customs border inspection personnel, medical disease control personnel, as well as the staff of farmers' markets, seafood markets, and public transport personnel.
These people are not recommended to be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine
Wang Huaqing suggested that people with fever, patients with chronic disease attack, patients with acute disease attack, pregnant women and other groups should not be vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine.
Experts point out that after vaccination, one should pay attention to any abnormal physical conditions. After the COVID-19 vaccine is inoculated, the recipient needs to stay at the vaccination site for 30 minutes to prevent acute allergic reaction, and can leave only after there is no abnormality. If the recipient experiences high fever exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius or local redness or swelling exceeding 2.5 centimeters after leaving, they should promptly report to the vaccination doctor and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Is there an expiration date for domestic vaccines?
Zeng Yixin, the head of the special team for vaccine research and development of the joint prevention and control mechanism research team of the State Council and the deputy director of the National Health Commission, said that at present, the time of discovery of COVID-19 is less than one year, and it is still impossible to conclude how long the COVID-19 vaccine can be protected, which requires follow-up research in the later stage.
According to the tracking of vaccinators, there is little doubt that the protection period of domestic COVID-19 vaccine meets the WHO requirements of "more than half a year".
What is the price of vaccines?
COVID-19 vaccine is priced at 200 yuan per shot in some areas. The price of vaccines also varies with the expansion of production and usage scale, and a corresponding price mechanism will be formed after the vaccine is approved and conditionally launched. Vaccination completed
Do you still need to wear a mask?
So far, no vaccine has achieved a 100% protection rate, so after vaccination, protective measures should not be reduced in order to better ensure everyone's safety.
Before the establishment of the immune barrier in the population, even if some people have been vaccinated, their awareness and measures of prevention and control cannot be relaxed.
Therefore, after vaccination, it is still advisable to continue wearing masks, especially in densely populated areas such as public transportation. Other protective measures include wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, washing hands frequently, and maintaining good habits such as ventilation.
