How to Inoculate COVID-19 Vaccine for the Elderly (Precautions for Inoculating COVID-19 Vaccine for the Elderly)

After three doses of vaccine, the death risk of the elderly over 80 years old decreased to 1.5%.

Studies have shown that if the elderly over 80 years old do not receive a dose of vaccine, the risk of death is14.7%; If they are vaccinated with a dose of vaccine, the risk of death will be reduced to 7.16%; If they receive three doses of vaccine, the risk of death will be reduced to 1.5%.

The incidence of adverse reactions in elderly people vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine is slightly lower than that in young people.

It was found that the incidence of adverse reactions of COVID-19 vaccine was similar to that of other vaccines vaccinated in previous years, while the incidence of adverse reactions of the elderly population was slightly lower than that of the young population. Expert evaluation may be related to the relatively low immunity of the elderly.

Under these circumstances, the elderly cannot or should suspend COVID-19 vaccination:

The elderly have experienced severe allergic reactions during previous vaccination, such as anaphylactic shock and laryngeal edema. COVID-19 vaccination is not required or recommended.

Acute infectious diseases are in a fever period, and vaccination is suspended.

Severe chronic diseases are in acute attack, and vaccination is suspended. For example, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, hypertensive crisis patients, patients with coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, autoimmune nervous system diseases in the advanced stage, epilepsy patients in the seizure stage and so on. These patients can be vaccinated after their condition is controlled and stabilized.

Vaccination is not recommended because serious chronic diseases are at the end of life.

All people should complete three doses of vaccination, and it is necessary to vaccinate the fourth dose for key people.

Through nearly three years of observation, it is concluded that the completion of three doses of vaccination has a good protective effect on severe illness and death. At present, everyone should be vaccinated with three doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

Experts recently found that it is necessary to vaccinate the key population with the fourth needle, that is, the second needle to strengthen the needle. These include the elderly, people with chronic basic diseases and low immune function; People with high risk of infection, such as medical personnel, epidemic prevention personnel, courier brother and other people with high mobility.
