Regarding the infection and illness of the elderly in the region of the clustering epidemic area, Feng Zijian said that since the introduction of the mutant strain of the new crown virus Omikon, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in my country has experienced a wide range of large -scale epidemic conditions in the Mainland. A large -scale clustering epidemic occurred in Jilin, Shanghai and other places.

"By May, the fifth wave of epidemic in Hong Kong reported a total of 1.2 million in the cases and 9,193 deaths.

Make sure that the source of each new crown vaccine can be chased and the whereabouts can be checked

At present, my country's new crown vaccine has accumulated more than 3.4 billion doses in China, and provided a large number of vaccines to the international community. Some media questions, how to ensure its quality, safety and reliable when facing large -scale vaccines in short -term production?

In this regard, Wang Junzhi, an expert group of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism scientific research and research and development group vaccine research and development, said that after the approval of my country's vaccine was approved, there was a complete set of regulatory processes to ensure the quality of the vaccine.

First of all, before the factory is issued, enterprises must be inspected in accordance with the national approval standards. The inspection items include physical indicators, chemical indicators, identification indicators, validity indicators, and safety indicators.

Secondly, the national legal inspection agencies need to be approved and issued on the vaccine, and the legal inspection agencies are required to inspect and review each batch of vaccines that are about to be listed. In this process, they are inspected in accordance with national approval standards. The inspection report is issued after the inspection is qualified to meet the standard, allowing release.

"In other words, before the vaccine was listed, it was necessary to be listed after the inspection of the enterprise and the test of the national legal institution." Wang Junzhi emphasized.

After the vaccine finished product is leaving the factory, there is a series of measures to ensure the quality of the vaccine during use. According to Wang Junzhi, for example, the production line expansion work process and technical guide for production lines, establishing an independent operation of new crown vaccine information traceability supervision system to ensure that the source of each vaccine can be chased and the whereabouts can be checked.

Wang Junzhi said that through a series of measures, we can ensure the safety and reliability of the new crown vaccine.Daily Economic News
