Remind the general public to strengthen immunization with the new coronavirus vaccine in our city

Eligible persons who have begun to be vaccinated should be vaccinated as soon as possible

The current global COVID-19 epidemic is still in the pandemic stage, and my country has an arduous task of "preventing imported cases from abroad and preventing resurgence at home". The new coronavirus vaccine is an important weapon against the virus. Strengthening immunization is of great significance to protect susceptible groups and effectively curb the spread of the epidemic. We would like to remind the general public that the booster shots of the new coronavirus vaccine in our city have begun. Please get vaccinated as soon as possible if you meet the conditions.

1. The first batch of COVID-19 vaccinations in our city was in December 2020, which is more than 10 months ago. A booster shot refers to a vaccine dose that is administered again after the full course of vaccination is completed, based on the disappearance of antibodies, to maintain the body's immunity to the virus. Booster shots are also used in other vaccinations, such as polio vaccine and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine. After the full course of vaccination, the new coronavirus vaccine is effective in preventing severe illness and death. However, after a period of vaccination, some people's immunity declines and the protective effect is weakened. The booster shot can cause this weakening to "strongly rebound" ". Data show that when vaccinated with a second dose of the domestically produced inactivated vaccine 6 months after the second dose, the antibody level increases by 10-30 times, and has a good cross-neutralizing effect against mutant strains such as Delta.

2. Our city implements a free vaccination policy for new coronavirus vaccine boosters for residents. The booster vaccination targets are those who have been fully vaccinated with 2 doses of inactivated vaccine and 1 dose of adenovirus vector vaccine for 6 months or more. People aged 18 and above; high-risk groups with a high risk of severe illness after infection, including: people aged 60 and above, patients with underlying diseases, etc. Everyone must go to the new coronavirus vaccination sites in various counties and development zones in a timely manner to receive booster shots.

3. Get a booster shot at the current stage and use the previously vaccinated vaccine for booster immunization. That is: people who have completed 2 doses of vaccination with the same inactivated vaccine can, in principle, use the original vaccine for 1 dose of booster immunization; people who have completed 1 dose of vaccination with adenovirus vector vaccine should still use CanSino vaccine for 1 dose Strengthen immunity.

4. The general public must bring their ID cards before vaccination, and they also need to stay on site for at least 30 minutes after vaccination. A small number of people will experience mild general reactions, such as tenderness at the vaccination site, fever, headache, and body aches. These generally do not need to go to the hospital for treatment. Pay attention to rest. They will usually resolve on their own in 1-2 days. However, if the symptoms are severe and last for a long time, it is recommended that the recipient go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. Experts organized by the National Vaccine Research and Development Team have conducted sufficient research and demonstrations. There are no serious adverse reactions to the booster shot and it is still as safe as the first and second shots.

5. Vaccination against COVID-19 is the most economical, effective and convenient measure to prevent and control the spread of COVID-19. It is also the responsibility and obligation of every citizen. Please meet the requirements for COVID-19 vaccination. The people are actively participating in the new coronavirus vaccination and working together to build a universal immunity barrier.
