Faced with Omik Rong BA.5, why should elderly friends hurry up with a new crown vaccine?Come to listen to medical academicians

According to a press conference organized by the State Council ’s joint prevention and control mechanism on July 23, recently, the local epidemic situation in my country has shown a multi -point distribution and frequent frequent trend. The overflowing of the epidemic in some areas has not been completely blocked, and the situation of preventing and control is severe and complicated. Omikon BA.5 Asian branches have spread to more than 100 countries and regions around the world, leading to an increase in the number of infections, hospitalization, and severe illnesses, and China's foreign defense input pressure has continued to increase. At this press conference, experts once again emphasized that vaccination is the most effective and economical means to prevent infectious diseases, especially for the elderly to prevent infection, prevent severe illnesses and even death.

According to the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, as of July 23, the new crown vaccine in the city's 18 -year -old crowd over 55.1993 million doses was covered, covering approximately 22.4901 million people; the whole process of about 212.781 million people, with a vaccination rate of 96.32%. Among them, the new crown vaccine of the 60 -year -old and over the age of 60 and above was vaccinated with a total of about 10.555 million doses, covering approximately 4.0778 million people, with a coverage rate of 70.12%.

From the data, the proportion of new crown viruses in this city still needs to be increased, and the importance of vaccination in vaccination is still doubtful or hesitant. Some misunderstandings need to be tilted.

At present, why should elderly friends hurry up to vaccinate the new crown vaccine? Listen to medical academicians to analyze them one by one.

"For elderly friends, the most important benefit of vaccination for new crown vaccines is to prevent severe illnesses and even death." Said Said Wen Yumei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a professor at the Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, and a famous virusist.

On the morning of June 29 this year, Academician Wen Yumei, 89, came to the North Bund Street Community Health Service Center for the new crown vaccine to enhance the needle after vaccination. As for the importance of vaccination for the elderly, she emphasized to reporters that the current Shanghai epidemic has achieved a phased victory, but the global epidemic is still spreading, and the virus is still mutating. In order to keep this difficult result, this "time window" should be grasped. Accelerate the vaccination of the new crown vaccine, especially the elderly over 60 years old, as a high -incidence group of chronic diseases, should protect themselves and wear an extra "protective clothing" for themselves.

Before the virus struck, he did not put on this "protective service" in time or encountered a more violent attack.

"In the prevention and control of Shanghai's new crown pneumonia epidemic, we found that many elderly people suffering from diabetes in the clinic room infected the new crowns, and some developed to severe illnesses. A large number of elderly infected people did not vaccinate the new crown vaccine or did not complete the whole process." Professor Jia Weiping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Professor Jia Weiping of the Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai, emphasized that "in addition to preventing infections in the new crown vaccine, it is very important to prevent severity. This is very important to the elderly."

This clinical observation has also been verified in national data. According to the analysis of the history of vaccination history of Omikon mutant infection in the Mainland in March to June this year, the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shown that infected by the 18-59-year-old infection who completed the full vaccination and enhanced vaccination, it was because of the reinforced infection. The risk of asymptomatic infection, mild, and general development into intensive development is reduced by 91%and 94%, respectively. For those over 60 years old who have been vaccinated and strengthened, the risks developed from ordinary and below are more risks than infected vaccine infection than vaccination infections. Those who reduce 89%and 95%respectively.

"From the perspective of domestic and overseas data, the proportion of elderly people suffering from basic diseases is relatively high. Once infected with the new crown virus, whether it is an early strain or the popular Omircon strain now Gao. The elderly people are also different from young people. The immune function of the elderly is relatively weak. It needs to be used to enhance the needle to obtain the best protection effect. "On July 23, the National Council's joint prevention and control mechanism was held, and the national health and health were held. Relevant experts on the committee emphasized.

The elderly simply "do not get out of the door". Is it necessary to vaccinate? In this regard, Academician Wen Yumei laughed. This is not a very rational statement. On the one hand, she encourages the elderly to have the ability to go out and walk around, and on the other hand, she talks about it. When you go out, unless your children do not visit, relatives do not walk around, do not go to buy food, or do not receive foods and items sent by the outside world. People are inevitable to contact the outside world. As long as there is contact, there is a risk of being infected.

Many elderly people have chronic basic diseases, can they be vaccinated? In this regard, Academician Jia Weiping said that at present, the situation of the elderly's merging multiple chronic diseases is actually very common. Diably, blood lipids, and blood pressure abnormalities often exist at the same time in elderly friends. It is not an absolute taboo for vaccination of the new crown vaccine, but it is necessary to analyze the specific problems. If the disease is in a stable period, if conditions permit, the time will be applied to the vaccination.

For many elderly friends who have vaccinated the new crown vaccine, medical experts also recommend completing the "third needle" to strengthen the immunity. On July 23, Zheng Zhongwei, director of the Science and Technology Development Center of the National Health and Health Commission, introduced at the press conference of the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism that the real world research since the large -scale use of the new crown virus vaccine shows that after the existing vaccine at home and abroad has completed the full basic immunity at home and abroad, With the extension of time and the continuous variation of the virus, the protection effects of infection, onset, severe illness, and death have decreased to varying degrees. The effect of protection is more obvious for preventing the protection of diseases, severe illnesses and death. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the needle. Which one is better to strengthen immunity and sequence to strengthen immunity? Expert analysis cannot be simply generalized. Regardless of the inoculation or sequentially enhanced vaccination, the effects of prevention, severe and death protection effects are quite significant. It is possible to take homology strengthening or sequential enhancement. I hope everyone can actively strengthen inoculation.
