How to make an appointment and who can call as soon as possible?

Ceng Yixin, deputy director of National Health Commission and head of the vaccine research and development special class of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism, said that since December 15, 2020, China has officially started the vaccination of key populations. In the past half a month, the cumulative vaccination of key populations in China has exceeded 3 million doses.

This part of the key population mainly includes workers who are engaged in imported cold chain, port quarantine, ship pilotage, air crew, fresh market, public transportation, medical disease control and other high-risk infections.

Pang Xinghuo, deputy director of the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that at present, the emergency vaccination of key populations does not take the form of personal appointment, and the vaccination work will be organized in the jurisdiction where it is located. Please wait for the notice of the vaccination units in each district for specific vaccination points and work arrangements.

On the basis of the vaccination of high-risk groups and key groups that have been carried out and are being carried out, China will gradually and orderly promote the vaccination of the elderly and high-risk groups with basic diseases, and then carry out vaccination of the general population. All localities will promptly announce the inoculation points and service hours within their jurisdiction.

Can I get vaccinated as soon as possible when I leave the country for private reasons?

Gao Xiaojun, spokesman of Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission, introduced on January 3rd that students who go abroad for private work and study can go to the street (township) or community service station where they live for data review with local household registration book or residence permit, passport, valid visa (excluding visa-free to China or landing visa countries) and necessary supporting materials. After the review, they can go to the designated vaccination institutions for vaccination. For details, please pay attention to the relevant notices in various districts.

Earlier, the reporter learned from the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention that Covid-19 vaccination for private travelers will be launched in Shanghai in due course.

According to reports, although the domestic inactivated vaccine from Covid-19 has been listed with conditions, there are strict approval procedures for entry and exit, and individuals are not allowed to take the inactivated vaccine from Covid-19 out of the country without permission, otherwise they may face risks such as violating domestic and foreign laws.

Does the virus mutation affect the vaccine?

Experts believe that there is no evidence that the observed variation has a substantial impact on the use of vaccines.

Xu Nanping, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, said that according to the data monitoring results of nearly 300,000 Covid-19 genome sequences held by the National Bioinformatics Center, comprehensive analysis shows that the variation observed at present still belongs to the variation accumulation in the normal range.

At the same time, Xu Nanping said that the research team attached great importance to the problem of virus variation, and had a special plan to set up a number of research groups to conduct special research on virus variation, detection reagents, drug research and development, and vaccine use effect. "It is better to prepare than to use, and it is not available and unprepared."

Who is not suitable for vaccination at present?

On the morning of the 3rd, several supermarket cold chain food workers were vaccinated at Guangwai Community Health Service Center in Xicheng District, Beijing. The day before, the company informed him of 9 contraindications for vaccination, such as hypertension and diabetes.

Han Yanrong, dean of Yinghai Hospital in Daxing District, Beijing, said that people who are not suitable for vaccination at present include: pregnant women and lactating women; Persons in fever period; Persons who have had severe allergic reactions to vaccination in the past; People with thrombocytopenia or hemorrhagic diseases; Patients with convulsion, epilepsy, encephalopathy, other progressive nervous system diseases and mental illness history or family history; Patients who have been diagnosed with congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, HIV infection, lymphoma, leukemia or other autoimmune diseases.

Other contraindications include: severe liver and kidney diseases, hypertension beyond drug control, diabetic complications and malignant tumors; Acute attack of various acute diseases or chronic diseases; Severe respiratory diseases, serious cardiovascular diseases, etc.

Can I be vaccinated without protection?

So far, no vaccine can achieve 100% protection rate. Experts said that after vaccination, protective measures will not be reduced, so as to better ensure safety.

Shanghai Health Promotion Center reminds that even after vaccination, the "three-piece epidemic prevention set" (wearing a mask, social distance and personal hygiene) and "five protection requirements" (wearing a mask, keeping a social distance, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands frequently and opening windows as far as possible) should still be kept in mind.

The Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission suggested that a few people may still not have protection or get sick after vaccination. At present, the immune barrier of the whole population has not been established, and personal protective measures should still be taken after vaccination, and nucleic acid testing should still be carried out with relevant departments if necessary.

What should I do if there is an adverse reaction?

According to the data released by Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission, 73,537 doses of Covid-19 vaccine were inoculated in Beijing from January 1 to 2, and no serious adverse reactions occurred.

According to the informed consent form of inactivated vaccine inoculation in Covid-19, the local adverse reactions are mainly pain at the inoculation site, including local itching, swelling, induration and redness, etc. The systemic adverse reactions are mainly fatigue, including fever, muscle pain, headache, cough, diarrhea, nausea, anorexia and allergies.

Jiao Yahui, Ombudsman of National Health Commission Medical Administration and Hospital Authority, said that in order to ensure the safety of vaccination, firstly, the inoculation sites should meet the conditions of vaccination and medical treatment; secondly, the inoculation units should be divided into regions, and the general hospitals at or above the second level should be responsible for the medical security in the responsible areas. Also remind the vaccinators to give feedback to the medical staff about their health status in a practical way, and stay at the inoculation point for 30 minutes after inoculation.

Don’t want to get vaccinated, okay?

On the 3rd, at the temporary inoculation point of Guangwai Community Health Service Center in Xicheng District, Beijing, the staff said that if people with temporary colds or illnesses are encountered, they will also mark them and organize vaccination another day.

"Vaccination is based on the principle of voluntariness." Niu Xiangjun, deputy director of the Daxing District Health and Health Commission in Beijing, said.

However, China plans to establish an immune barrier for the whole population through vaccination, and provide Covid-19 vaccine for the whole people free of charge, so that all eligible people can achieve "what they should receive and what they should receive".

"It is generally believed that the vaccination rate can reach 60% to 70% to establish universal protection." Ceng Yixin said that in view of the good evidence of the safety and effectiveness of the approved vaccines in China, he advocated the public to actively participate in vaccination on the premise of informed consent and exclusion of contraindications.

How about China vaccine certification overseas?

On January 2nd, Egypt officially approved the emergency use of Covid-19 inactivated vaccine of China Sinopharm Group. The Egyptian Minister of Health and Population said that the safety and effectiveness of China Covid-19 vaccine have been scientifically certified.

Previously, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain respectively approved the official registration and marketing of this vaccine in accordance with the relevant technical standards of the World Health Organization.

In addition, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, Singapore, Chile, Malaysia, Ukraine and other countries and regions announced that they would order Covid-19 vaccine from China Kexing Holding Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Enterprises have shipped more than 16 million doses overseas.

Shen Bo, head of the International Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that China Covid-19 will firmly fulfill its promise to make the vaccine a global public product and supply it to the world at a fair and reasonable price after it is developed and put into use.
