Suggestions on Vaccinating COVID-19 Vaccine for the Elderly in this County

Dear old friends,

Hello everyone!

COVID-19 is a new acute infectious disease, which is mainly spread through respiratory droplets and close contact. At present, most people have no immunity to COVID-19, and are usually susceptible to COVID-19. Vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine is one of the most effective measures to prevent and control COVID-19. Only by vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine can we establish a national immune barrier to ensure the safety and health of our elderly friends.

At present, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is still prevalent all over the world, and the epidemic situation in many countries is still spreading. Aggregation epidemic and sporadic epidemic have appeared in some areas of China, especially in Changde, Changsha, Zhangjiajie, Zhuzhou, Yiyang and Xiangxi, which are still in the critical stage of "external defense input and internal defense rebound", and the prevention and control situation is still grim. In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic in a normal way, China has started to fully vaccinate COVID-19 vaccine. Because the elderly aged 60 and above have more basic diseases, they are the susceptible population in COVID-19, and the severe illness rate and mortality rate after infection in COVID-19 are much higher than those of young people. Research data show that the risk of serious illness and death can be greatly reduced after the elderly are vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. Clinical trials have proved that COVID-19 vaccine in China is safe and effective, and can protect the elderly. In order to protect people's life safety and health, our county encourages and supports the elderly to get COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible, so as to minimize the risk of COVID-19 virus infection and morbidity among the elderly. At present, under the premise of fully evaluating the health status and infection risk, the county has vaccinated a large number of elderly people aged 60 and above with COVID-19 vaccine, and no serious adverse reactions have occurred, so the majority of elderly friends can rest assured of vaccination. Here, we urge all our elderly friends to take action immediately, not to be bystanders or improper outsiders, and to actively vaccinate COVID-19 vaccine with a highly responsible attitude towards themselves, their families and society, so as to do their part to build a healthy Hengyang County and protect beautiful homeland!

I wish all elderly friends good health, all the best and a happy family!
