On January 22, local time, Bill Gates, the co-chairman of the Gates Foundation, tweeted that had received the first dose of the new crown vaccine and felt good and thanked the medical staff.
Recently, Bill Gates said in an online interview with Chinese media that although the outside world has various concerns about vaccines, past experience has proved that vaccines that have been strictly approved by regulatory agencies can save lives.
Bill Gates said that Washington State is currently vaccinating people 65 and older. Luckily, I have just passed 65 years old. I have received the first dose of Modena vaccine, and I will go for the second dose in a few weeks. The effectiveness of the vaccine usually becomes very high one week after the second dose. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to get the new crown vaccine.
"I want to tell everyone that I trust these vaccines because they have gone through the standard development process and test process. So when the vaccination conditions are met, I will get the vaccination as soon as possible.
Gates said, During the epidemic, there were a lot of crazy rumors about the new crown vaccine, even myself, and Dr. Fauci, because people are trying to find a simple explanation to tell them what happened.
"I hope people will not be because of this. Refusal to get vaccinated because of remarks, because it is very detrimental to our return to normal life. ”_Strong2strong
According to the recommendations of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the early vaccination plan in the United States is to first vaccinate medical staff and groups living in long-term care institutions such as nursing homes, followed by elderly people aged 75 and over, and first-line core security staff. Those aged 65 to 74, those aged 16 to 64 who are at high risk of health, and other core security staff.
After giving priority to these groups, vaccination will be gradually extended to other members of the public.
