After experiencing the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the demand for influenza vaccines across the country has surged compared with previous years this year; compared with the same period in previous years, the peak of influenza vaccine vaccination has arrived early, resulting in a temporary shortage of influenza vaccines. The "difficult shot" of influenza vaccines not only occurred in Guiyang City, but also reported in many places across the country. According to the "Technical Guidelines for Influenza Vaccination in China (2020-2021)" released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, "September to October each year is the best vaccination period for influenza vaccines, and it is best to complete the immunization before the end of October; for subjects who have not been vaccinated before the end of October, they can be vaccinated throughout the epidemic season." So from now until the end of October it is the season for influenza vaccination. Please don’t worry about not getting vaccinated with the influenza vaccination or getting late. Guiyang CDC has contacted several vaccine manufacturers to supply our city to meet the vaccination needs of the general public. Because vaccines are being prepared all over the country, the flu vaccines from various manufacturers arrive in Guiyang City at a time of time early and late. In order to ensure the orderly, standardized and safe development of vaccination work, starting from September 26, citizens can make influenza vaccine appointments through the vaccination clinic, and give priority to the appointment citizens.
In addition, since it is currently in the normalized prevention and control stage of the new crown epidemic, in order to avoid waiting too long and reduce the chance of contact with others, make appointments before vaccination and in the vaccination clinic via telephone (see the attached table) or online. It is recommended to measure your body temperature at home on the day of vaccination to confirm the health status of children or adults. If your body temperature is ≥37.3℃, severe eczema, diarrhea, etc., please do not go to the vaccination clinic and make an appointment for vaccination time separately.
After citizens go to the community health service center or health center, they wear masks throughout the process, cooperate with staff to measure their body temperature, and disinfect their hands. Keep a distance of more than 1 meter from others during pre-inspection registration or payment; pay attention to keeping warm during vaccination, put on clothes as soon as possible after vaccination, stay for 30 minutes, and leave as soon as possible to reduce unnecessary stay time. After
is vaccinated, some people may have low fever, and there may be slight redness, swelling, pain, erythema, nodules, etc. at the injection site. These are all temporary phenomena and the incidence is very low. These reactions usually disappear within 1-2 days and generally do not require special treatment. Some individuals may have common skin reactions such as itching, urticaria, nonspecific rash, which will naturally be relieved; very few individuals who experience adverse reactions such as neuralgia, esthetic abnormalities, convulsions, transient thrombocytopenia, severe allergic reactions (such as allergic shock), vasculitis, neurological diseases, etc., should report to the vaccination unit in time, go to the medical unit for treatment, and treat it if necessary.
At the same time, the CDC also reminds everyone:
vaccinates key and high-risk groups in order of priority
In principle, all people who are 6 months old and above who are willing to receive influenza vaccine and have no contraindications can receive influenza vaccine. It is recommended to vaccinate key and high-risk groups in order of priority.
recommends that medical staff, nursing homes, long-term care institutions, welfare homes and other groups gather in places of vulnerable groups and employees;
key places such as teachers and students from childcare institutions, primary and secondary schools, detainees and staff from prison institutions are the key places where influenza and new crown outbreaks are prone to influenza and new crown outbreaks;
Other high-risk groups in influenza include home-risk elderly people aged 60 and above, children aged 6 months to 5 years old, patients with specific chronic diseases, family members and caregivers of babies under 6 months of age, as well as pregnant women or women who are preparing to get pregnant during the flu season.
has been vaccinated with the flu vaccine. Will you not get the flu? The protection rate of the
influenza vaccine is not 100%. Therefore, it is still possible to get influenza after getting the influenza vaccine, but it can reduce the prevalence rate. Even if you still have the flu, it can reduce the severity of the flu and reduce the risk of complications and death.
The public should still pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene habits in autumn and winter, including: wearing masks, washing hands frequently, paying attention to respiratory etiquette (covering your mouth and nose with tissues when coughing or sneezing), opening windows for ventilation, eating a balanced diet, and exercising in moderation; during the flu epidemic season, high-risk people should try to avoid going to places where people gather.
Influenza vaccine can be vaccinated throughout the epidemic season
Usually 2 to 4 weeks after receiving the influenza vaccine, antibodies with protective levels are produced, and they can be vaccinated throughout the epidemic season (October of that year to June of the following year). During the same influenza epidemic season, people who have completed the full vaccination process according to the vaccination procedure do not need to repeat vaccination.
This year, the people's willingness to receive influenza vaccination in our province has increased, and the vaccination peak has been advanced. Special personnel monitor the procurement and vaccination process of influenza vaccines in the province every day. It is expected that the supply of influenza vaccines will reach its peak from October this year to January 2021. The Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds the general public not to crowd out vaccination. Vaccination can be done throughout the epidemic season. Vaccination can be made through the Internet, telephone, etc. The vaccination units such as community health service centers, township health centers and other vaccination units can provide vaccination services. Whether it is trivalent or quadrivalent or
influenza vaccine, it is really good to get it!
For people who can receive vaccine products from different types and manufacturers, they can voluntarily receive any influenza vaccine, and there is no priority recommendation.
