There are many chronic diseases for the elderly. Can I get a new crown vaccine?89 -year -old academician answer for you

Elderly people have chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Can it be vaccinated with new coronary virus vaccines? The new crown virus is mutated. Is it still useful now? Many communities are carried out new crown vaccination work. Should elderly friends fight? Today, in response to the doubts of elderly friends, Wen Yumei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a professor at Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, and a famous virusologist, responded one by one.

"I'm 89 years old, and I have completed the vaccination of two new crown virus vaccines. Today I especially want to tell us my elderly friends to understand why the elderly want to get vaccines from a scientific perspective." In the case of vaccination, the most important benefit of the new crown vaccine is to prevent severe illnesses and even death.

"The old man is not allowed to be severely severely ill. He must suffer from suffering. He might be full of tube. Why should you suffer that bitter? If you can prevent it now, why not?" "Benefits of vaccine".

Existing studies have shown that the new coronal virus vaccine can greatly reduce the risk of severe and death. More than 90%of the death cases of Shanghai epidemic in this round are the elderly who have not vaccinated. The elderly have completed the basic immunity of the new coronal virus vaccine. Even if infection, the risk of developing severe illnesses is at least 60%. If the enhanced needle is also vaccinated, the risk is reduced by more than 90%.

"But I heard that there is a response to the vaccine?" "Isn't it the safest to not fight? I do n’t go out ..." Academician Wen Yumei admits that he also heard that many such "claims" are not scientific.

She explained that from a medical perspective, "reaction" is inevitable, because vaccines are "foreign objects" for the body, and the body will respond to this, that is, "immune response". Essence As for the "sub -reaction" that the elderly cares about, she said that maybe some people will have local arm redness and slight fever, which are normal reactions.

As for some elderly people expressed their simply "closed doors", she laughed. This is not very rational. "I encourage the elderly to go out for a walk. I take 3,000 steps a day. At home, it is equivalent to being sick. In addition, even if you do n’t go out, do n’t children not visit? Relatives do n’t walk around? Do n’t take out?

So, there are many basic diseases for the elderly. Can you get a new crown vaccine? "I also have hypertension and diabetes, but why did I fight? Because my hypertension and diabetes were controlled. I also want to tell everyone that my sister is 92 years old and usually has allergies. Anti -allergic drugs and a stable condition, now the third needle is also completed. "Academician Wen Yumei emphasized that elderly friends should take the new crown vaccine in time according to their own situation.

For elderly friends asked: The new crown virus is mutated, is it still useful now? Academician Wen Yumei emphasized that the mutation of the new crown virus is local and has not changed as a whole. Therefore, rigorously speaking, the vaccine is not invalid, but reduced effect, but it is still effective. Because of this, everyone will find that it may still be infected after the new crown vaccine is vaccinated, but the important point is that there will be severe illnesses and no death. This is especially important for elderly friends.

Regarding the "strengthening needle", Academician Wen Yumei explained: Strengthening immunity is like a "deepening impression" in interpersonal communication. "Memory" allows immune to "reinforcement".

"So, I especially want to say to my elderly friends, don't be too scared, don't listen to rumors, everything is practical. Shanghai aging is serious. I have always encouraged the elderly to be healthy and aging., Vaccination is to protect myself and protect my family. Some people persuade me not to say that the vaccine. I think, because everyone is not clear, I want to be scientifically vaccinated. "Elderly friends are a little "tips", and the vaccine can be so comfortable and the family can rest assured. If the heart is really nervous, it will be slow, because of nervousness, blood pressure will rise, keep in mind what you do, you need to be calm.Eat fruits and fruits, pay attention to rest, and exercise appropriately.Source: Shanghai Baoshan official WeChat
