Take personal protection before the end of the year and get booster shots in time

Take good personal protection before the end of the year and get the booster shot in time.

Take good personal protection before the end of the year and get the booster shot in time. Currently, the new coronavirus vaccine booster vaccination is in full progress. A booster immunization after 6 months can rapidly increase the neutralizing antibodies in the recipient's body. It is recommended that personal protection be taken before the vaccination and booster shots be given in a timely manner. Do a good job of personal protection before the end of the year, and get booster shots in time1

Recently, the Omicron mutant strain has spread widely around the world, and the global new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic situation has once again entered a stage of rapid development, with the epidemic situation in many countries hitting new highs. , the world-famous Winter (Paralympics) Olympics are about to open, the Spring Festival is approaching, the number of immigrants is increasing, and the flow of people is increasing. Our country is still facing greater pressure of "foreign prevention of imports and domestic prevention of rebound". For those who have not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine, they must complete the full course of vaccination as soon as possible. For those who have completed the full course of vaccination and are over 6 months old, they must receive the "booster" shot of the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible and put on "protective clothing" for themselves.

1. How long after the full vaccination interval of the new coronavirus vaccine can a "booster shot" be given?

At this stage, the booster vaccination will be implemented 6 months after the completion of the vaccination. That is to say, after the second dose of the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine, it is generally required to wait for 6 months before the booster dose can be given. Booster vaccination is given 6 months after adenovirus vector vaccination.

2. How to get the "booster shot" of the new coronavirus vaccine? Where to fight?

In principle, enhanced immunization for people at high risk of infection and key positions for ensuring the basic operation of society will be organized and implemented by relevant units; other groups of people can make appointments for vaccination at designated vaccination units in the jurisdiction. For specific vaccination information in each region, please refer to the official information released by the local health department or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

3. How to choose the type of vaccine when vaccinating the "booster"?

At this stage, the original vaccine that has been vaccinated is used for booster immunization. Among them, people who have completed two doses of the same new coronavirus inactivated vaccine should, in principle, use the original inactivated vaccine for one dose of booster immunization; people who have used different inactivated vaccines to complete two doses of vaccination should, in principle, give priority to the one with the same inactivated vaccine. The second dose of the same vaccine as the inactivated vaccine can be used for a booster immunization. If the second dose of the same vaccine is no longer available, the same vaccine as the first dose of the inactivated vaccine can be used for a booster immunization. ; For people vaccinated with adenovirus vector vaccine, use the original vaccine for booster immunization.

4. What are the precautions for vaccination "booster"?

Before vaccination, confirm whether you have been fully vaccinated and completed according to the previous vaccination certificate Full vaccination for more than 6 months. When inoculating, you need to bring your ID card, vaccination voucher, etc., take personal protection according to local prevention and control requirements, and cooperate with the on-site vaccination staff to ask questions; you need to inform the doctor of your past diseases and whether you have recently taken medication, and other personal health conditions.

After vaccination, stay for observation for 30 minutes as required; keep the skin at the vaccination site clean and avoid scratching the vaccination site with your hands.

5. Are the existing new coronavirus vaccines effective against the "Omicron" mutant strain?

Existing research results show that the Omicron variant has not completely escaped immunity from the existing vaccines; the existing vaccines still have a certain protective effect against the Omicron variant; for Despite the Omicron variant, existing vaccines are still effective in preventing severe illness and death. Take good personal protection before the end of the year and get booster shots in time 2

Currently, the new coronavirus vaccine booster vaccination is in full progress. Some citizens will ask, is the booster shot necessary? It is very necessary. Here are four reasons for taking booster shots. Read it, turn it around, booster shots, take it!

The effectiveness has declined and needs to be strengthened

The new coronavirus vaccine has played a great role in preventing infection and reducing disease, especially in preventing severe illness and death. However, after vaccination, immunity and protective effects will decline over time. Research shows that boosting immunity 6 months after full vaccination can rapidly increase the neutralizing antibodies in the recipient's body and achieve better protective effects.

The previous injection cannot be in vain

When everyone was vaccinated, some were given two doses of inactivated vaccine, and some were given one dose of adenovirus vaccine. Whether it was one shot or two shots, everyone made an appointment and queued up. Some braved the scorching sun, and some braved the wind and rain to complete the full course of vaccination and obtain good vaccine protection. As time goes by, the protective power will weaken, so previous efforts cannot be discarded and immunity must be strengthened.

I am for everyone, everyone is for me

Vaccination can improve your own immunity, but it is not just about protecting yourself, as we often say before , establish a herd immunity barrier, and everyone benefits. This requires your "helping hand". With one shot from you and one shot from me, the anti-epidemic effect will be deepened! If everyone takes responsibility and assumes obligations, we will not be afraid of the challenges of the epidemic and minimize the impact of the epidemic on our lives.

Everything is ready, just waiting for you

In order to vaccinate, the government has invested hugely. Not only is the vaccine free for all, but it also requires investment in organization and mobilization, on-site vaccination, and full guarantee. Huge human, material, financial and mental resources. As for citizens, all they need to do is take some time and roll up their sleeves! For this good thing that benefits ourselves, others, the country and the people, we are all ready and waiting for you! Do a good job of personal protection before the end of the year, and get booster shots in time 3

Currently, the global COVID-19 pandemic is still at a high level, and new mutant strains are constantly emerging. In addition, as the Spring Festival is approaching, the flow of people has increased, and winter In spring, various types of respiratory infectious diseases occur at a high rate, and the prevention and control situation is severe and complex. On January 27, experts from the Immunization Planning Department of the Gansu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention gave detailed answers to questions related to the COVID-19 vaccine booster shot.

According to reports, after receiving the vaccine, some people’s immunity will decline after a period of time, and the protective effect of the vaccine will also weaken. Half a year after the booster vaccination, although the antibody level also declined, it was still higher than the peak after two or one dose of vaccination. Other studies have shown that after enhanced immunity, not only the antibody level increases, but the antibody spectrum is also broader, which means that it will have a better protective effect against mutant strains.

So, who can get the booster shot? People over 18 years old who have received the second dose of inactivated vaccine or the first dose of CanSino at least 6 months after completing the full course of immunization.

Who cannot get booster shots? 1. Those who are allergic to the components of the new coronavirus vaccine, or those who have experienced allergies when receiving similar vaccines in the past; 2. Those who have had severe allergic reactions to vaccines in the past; 3. Those who suffer from uncontrolled epilepsy and other serious neurological diseases; 4. Those who are having a fever, or are suffering from acute diseases, or acute exacerbations of chronic diseases, or patients with uncontrolled severe chronic diseases; 5. Pregnant women. Please refer to the vaccine product manual or instructions for use for details.

According to relevant research, the booster shot of the new coronavirus vaccine is safe and effective. The safety of the booster shot is the same as that of the first and second shots used previously, and neutralizing antibodies will increase rapidly.

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said: “Since the mutation of Omicron mainly occurs in the spike protein, it will definitely have a great impact on vaccines that use the spike protein as a strategy. , but for inactivated vaccines, the impact will not be too great." He further used data to show that the protective effect of my country's inactivated vaccines on the new coronavirus reached 65%, the protective effect on hospitalization reached 87.5%, and the protective effect on patients admitted to the ICU. The protection rate reaches 90%, and the protection rate against death reaches 86.3%.

In addition, the interval between booster shots and other vaccines should be greater than 14 days. When rabies vaccine, tetanus vaccine, and immunoglobulin are required due to animal injuries or trauma, etc., this interval requirement does not need to be considered.
