Recently, Beijing has launched the new coronavirus vaccination program for people aged 3-11 years . I believe parents who have “little vaccinators” at home must have many questions: Is it necessary for children to be vaccinated? is it safe? What should you pay attention to when getting vaccinated... Let’s take a look at the answers to these questions that you are concerned about ↓↓

It is necessary. Schools and kindergartens are densely populated, which can easily lead to the local spread of infectious diseases. Carrying out new coronavirus vaccination for people aged 3-11 years old is an important part of building an immune barrier for the entire population, and is also an important measure to block the spread of the new coronavirus.

The best way to prevent COVID-19 is to get vaccinated. There are the following four considerations when children are vaccinated against COVID-19.

1

Prevention of disease

In the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic, the infection rate among children was relatively low. Today, with the global pandemic and continued spread of COVID-19, the infection rate among children continues to increase. In some countries, the current incidence level in children is close to, or even increased from, the adult incidence level at the end of last year. This means that past understandings need to change, and children also need vaccines for protection.

2

Reduces severe illness and mortality

As the infection rate in children increases, severe cases or deaths in children occur from time to time. Vaccine can effectively reduce severe illness and mortality.

3

Avoid cluster epidemics

Children infected with the new coronavirus are also a source of infection. However, this group of people gather in high daily gatherings and are difficult to manage, which can easily lead to the occurrence of cluster epidemics.

4

Achieving herd immunity

Establishing an immune barrier and achieving herd immunity through vaccination are important goals of epidemic prevention and control , which can reduce or even block the spread of the disease. Children are also part of the population and are an important part of herd immunity work.

According to the progress of new coronavirus vaccine research and development and the research and demonstration of relevant departments, there are currently three technical routes for vaccines approved for use in my country:

① 1 dose of adenovirus vector vaccine

② 2 doses of inactivated vaccine

③ 3 doses of vaccination The recombinant protein vaccine

At present, the only vaccine approved for emergency use in people aged 3-17 years old in my country is the technical route inactivated vaccine , including Sinopharm Beijing Institute , Wuhan Institute of New Coronavirus Inactivated Vaccine and Sinovac’s new coronavirus inactivated vaccine requires 2 doses, 3-8 weeks apart.

Vaccination with the new coronavirus is an important measure to control the spread of the new coronavirus epidemic. According to the arrangements of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, people over 12 years old have been vaccinated against the new coronavirus in the early stage.

Based on the preliminary vaccination work, my country has accelerated research on the use of the new coronavirus vaccine in people aged 3-11 years old.

According to the expert opinions of the vaccine research and development class of the scientific research group, the safety and immunogenicity of the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine in people aged 3-11 years are not significantly different from those in people over 18 years old..

▲ Those who are allergic to the active ingredients of the vaccine, any inactive ingredients, or substances used in the production process , or those who have experienced allergies when receiving similar vaccines in the past;

▲ Those who have had severe allergic reactions to vaccines in the past (Such as acute allergic reactions, angioedema, dyspnea, etc.);

▲ People suffering from uncontrolled epilepsy and other severe neurological diseases (such as transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, demyelination Diseases, etc.);

▲ People who are having a fever , or are suffering from acute diseases, or acute exacerbations of chronic diseases, or patients with uncontrolled severe chronic diseases.

According to the arrangements of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, and in accordance with the principle of informed consent and voluntariness, our country is actively guiding the 3-11-year-old non-contraindicated population to "receive all vaccinations as needed" , and strives to complete the full vaccination before the end of December.

Based on the characteristics of minors, our country has also made overall arrangements for the vaccination of people aged 3-11 years old with the national immunization program vaccine and the new coronavirus vaccine, requiring all localities to strengthen communication with recipients and guardians, standardize the implementation of vaccination, and do a good job Patient and meticulous science propaganda. Vaccination sites are required to have pediatric emergency responders, as well as emergency medicine guarantees for children.

According to the arrangements of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, various places are now starting this work.

Children's vaccination with the new crown vaccine is still implemented in accordance with the free vaccination policy for residents.

For minors, who do not have full civil capacity, a guardian is required to accompany the child to receive the new crown vaccine.

1

Before receiving the new crown vaccine

first, it is necessary for guardians to understand the knowledge of the vaccine, the vaccination process and the health status of the child .

Second, guardians need to sign the vaccination informed consent form, and complete the new crown vaccination on the basis of informed consent.

Third, children’s vaccination against COVID-19 is based on the principle of appointment. Guardians are asked to make an appointment in advance.

2

During the process of vaccination against the new coronavirus,

first, please bring your child's vaccination certificate, ID card, household register, and other relevant documents.

Second, guardians must truthfully provide the child's current health status and contraindications to previous vaccinations on site, so that the vaccination doctor can make a judgment.

Third, if the child is particularly nervous, the guardian needs to do a good job of psychological counseling and beware of psychogenic reactions that may occur in children over 5 years old.

Fourth, we must cooperate with local prevention and control efforts, strictly implement personal protection for guardians and children.

3

After receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, parents should accompany their children at the vaccination site for 30 minutes to avoid strenuous exercise. If a child develops symptoms of discomfort at the vaccination site or after returning home, he/she should promptly report to the vaccination unit and seek medical treatment if necessary.

html After children aged 23-11 years old receive the COVID-19 vaccine, if they need to receive other immunization program vaccines or non-immunization program vaccines, they need to be separated by more than 14 days ;

If they have already received other immunization program vaccines or non-immunization program vaccines, then It is necessary to wait for more than 14 days before receiving the new crown vaccine.

However, it should be noted that if you are bitten by an animal or have an accidental injury, you must be vaccinated against rabies and tetanus, the above time interval requirements do not need to be considered.
