Huayu News According to Vegas Information Network, the United States began to gradually receive the new crown vaccine on December 14, but four types of people, including pregnant women, cannot get the new crown vaccine.
On December 10, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the application for the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to be vaccinated among American adults.
Los Angeles, California, has also prepared for the COVID-19 vaccine, and the first batch of people will be vaccinated as early as next week. The vaccination sites are mainly several medical institutions that have been announced before. Other hospitals and clinics, as well as more places for vaccination with the new crown vaccine, have not yet been opened.
However, the world's largest retailer, Walmart , revealed that the company is planning to reach an agreement with the FDA. Once agreed, the in-store pharmacies in Walmart hypermarkets in various US will assist in the distribution of vaccines and will also reach a consensus with the state government to receive vaccines.
According to Fox News, Walmart chief medical officer Tom Van Gilder said that Walmart and its storage-style Sam's Club have more than 5,000 pharmacies in total, and the company will ensure that all stores have enough freezers and dry ice to meet all requirements for storing vaccines.
At the same time, Walmart will also reach a consensus with various state governments so that it can assist in vaccination when needed, whether it is in the in-store pharmacy or the state designated nursing home in need.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that health care workers, nursing facility patients and staff get vaccinated first, and many states are expected to follow these recommendations. After FDA urgently approved the Pfizer vaccine, the US government has agreed to purchase about 100 million doses. Walmart stressed that the vaccine is allocated to states by the federal government, and each state will decide who should receive the first dose of the vaccine and when to be given. Walmart has no say in this regard, but once the state government receives the vaccine, the company will fully support the vaccine distribution.
About Side Effects: Mild to moderate discomfort at the inoculation site is very common. Moderate systemic reactions are about 18%, and serious side effects are less than 5%. Research is still underway, and the FDA requires Pfizer to submit updates to the FDA monthly until two years later.
About effective efficiency: Overall 95% protection efficiency occurs 7 days after the second inoculation. The efficiency of population protection for all ages and races is above 93%. It has good protective effect on a history of underlying diseases, including cancer.
vaccination order
According to the results of the discussion by the US CDC on November 30, the vaccination order of the new crown vaccine was determined:
The first batch (starting from December 15): front-line medical staff (twenty million) and elderly people in nursing homes (millions).
So far, Pfizer will provide 40 million doses of vaccine by the end of the year; Moderna will provide 20 million doses by the end of the year.
Second batch (starting from January 2021): Socially necessary personnel: police, postal crew, firefighters, diet staff, school teachers, cleaners, food processing personnel, etc. (nearly 90 million). People over 65 years old (50 million).
The third batch (starting from March 2021): Ordinary personnel, estimated to be more than 100 million.
The fourth batch: Young people and children under the age of 16 (starting from May 2021): tens of millions.
Special attention: These four types of people cannot be vaccinated with
It is reported that volunteers have adverse reactions such as facial paralysis and high fever after receiving the new crown vaccine, which is indeed very scary. Therefore, many netizens want to know who cannot get the COVID-19 vaccine. , a Chinese tenured professor at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States, Zhang Yujiao, , recently issued a warning to several groups of people:
1: tumor patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The second is: How the vaccination effect of patients undergoing bone marrow and organ transplantation remains to be studied.
Third: It is not recommended for pregnant women to get vaccinated.
4: Patients with a history of severe allergies should also be vaccinated with caution.
Regarding cancer and other patients with immunodeficiency , or people with severe allergic constitution:
Should cancer and other patients with immunodeficiency, or people with severe allergic constitution be vaccinated? In the current phase III clinical study, patients with tumors who received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or patients with bone marrow and organ transplantation, HIV and other patients were not allowed to enroll in the study due to potential immunosuppression. Therefore, the effect of these patients after vaccination is still a research question. Relevant research is being prepared. Generally speaking, if chemoradiotherapy has been stopped for more than one year, cancer patients can consider vaccination.
In addition, two obvious allergic reactions occurred in the population who were vaccinated in the first week of the UK. Therefore, experts warn patients with a history of severe allergies to be vaccinated with caution.
About children and pregnant women
In the current clinical study, neither pregnant women nor children under the age of 12 were enrolled. Therefore, vaccination for pregnant women is not recommended at present. As for teenagers (under 16 years old), it will take until May next year to have further data on safety and effectiveness.
About people who have been infected with COVID-19
For people who have been infected, since the recent reported cases of secondary infection and natural immunity may only be 3-6 months, and the immunity generated by natural infection is weak, they should be vaccinated. Will the virus be transmitted to others after
be vaccinated?
Currently, the mRNA vaccine is 95%, which refers to the percentage of the number of symptomatic patients in the control group compared with the randomized control group that did not receive the vaccine. This is a standard algorithm widely accepted by the epidemiology major and a standard indicator for the international community's vaccine launch. It is not an invention of a certain manufacturer.
Pfizer and Moderna's vaccine trials rely on patients' self-reports, and subsequent confirmation tests will be conducted only if there are relevant symptoms. Therefore, this calculation does not include asymptomatic patients; secondly, there is no test yet on how big the difference between the two groups is transmitted to others.
Can the vaccine reduce the chance of infection to others? It should be scientifically understood, but the degree is still needed to be further studied.
Therefore, after getting the vaccine, it is not necessary to wash your hands, wear a mask, and socially isolate them. Everyone will continue to persist for a while and wait for further data. Moreover, vaccines are not 100% efficient, what if you belong to 5% of people who are ineffective.
