At the same time, in response to the general concern of citizens who can get influenza vaccine, whether the influenza vaccine and new coronavirus vaccine can be vaccinated at the same time, and the taboos of influenza vaccine, the reporter interviewed Wang Yanyan, the head of the Immunization Planning Section of Qilihe District Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Question: Why is it recommended to get influenza vaccination every year?
Answer: Get influenza vaccination every year is the most effective way to prevent influenza , which can significantly reduce the risk of influenza and serious complications for vaccinated people. Influenza viruses are prone to mutating. In order to match the constantly mutated influenza virus, the influenza vaccine components recommended by the World Health Organization
in most seasons will be updated with one or more strains, and the vaccine strains are exactly the same as the previous epidemic season. To ensure that the vaccinated population is protected to the greatest extent, even if the components of the influenza vaccine are exactly the same as in the previous epidemic season, considering that the immunity of most vaccinators will gradually weaken over time, the influenza vaccine still needs to be vaccinated every year.Question: Who can get the flu vaccine?
Answer: According to the "Technical Guidelines for the Prevention of Influenza Vaccination in China (2022-2023)", in principle, vaccination services are provided for those who are greater than or equal to six months of age and who are willing to receive influenza vaccine and have no contraindications.
Question: How long does it take to produce antibodies after receiving the influenza vaccine?
Answer: usually produces antibodies with protective levels after 2-4 weeks of influenza vaccine. The time and duration of the peak influenza occurring in various parts of my country each year is different. In order to ensure that recipients receive immunization protection before the high-influenza season, it is recommended that localities arrange vaccination work as soon as possible after the vaccine is available. It is best to complete vaccination before the local flu epidemic season. Vaccination units can provide immunization services throughout the epidemic season.
Question: Can people who have received influenza within one year be vaccinated with influenza vaccine?
Answer: can be vaccinated. A previous history of influenza is not a taboo for vaccination. In addition, influenza viruses are prone to mutate, so it is possible to prevent influenza viruses that are prevalent in the season.
Question: Who needs to get influenza vaccine the most?
Answer: Some people have a higher risk of complications after suffering from influenza, and some people have frequent contact with people at high risk of influenza and need to get influenza vaccine.
People with a higher risk of complications after influenza include: infants and young children aged 6-59 months; people over 60 years old; patients with specific chronic diseases, including chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, liver and renal insufficiency, hematologic diseases, neurological diseases, neuromuscular dysfunction, metabolic diseases (including diabetes ), immunosuppressive diseases or immunocompromised; women preparing to get pregnant during the flu season.
people who have frequent contact with high-risk groups: staff in nursing homes, nursing homes and other chronic disease care facilities; family members and caregivers of infants under 6 months of age; family members and caregivers of elderly people over 60 years of age; family members and caregivers of other high-risk people in flu; medical staff.
Question: Can influenza vaccine and the new coronavirus vaccine be vaccinated at the same time?
Answer: Currently, influenza vaccine and the new coronavirus vaccine are vaccinated at the same time. Research on the impact of immunogenicity and safety of and the new coronavirus vaccine are still underway. Referring to my country's "Technical Guidelines for the New Coronavirus Vaccination (First Edition)", it is recommended in principle that the interval between influenza vaccine and the new coronavirus vaccine should be greater than 14 days. The specific situation is divided into: 1. You can get the new coronavirus vaccine after 14 days of influenza vaccine; 2. Or you can get the influenza vaccine 14 days after completing the full vaccination procedure of the new coronavirus vaccine; 3. Get the influenza vaccine between two doses of the new coronavirus vaccine, that is, get the influenza vaccine 14 days after the first dose of the new coronavirus vaccine, and get the second dose of the new coronavirus vaccine after 14 days.
It should be noted that: chooses to get influenza vaccine between two doses of the new coronavirus vaccine, and must follow the requirements for the number of doses and intervals of the new coronavirus vaccine.
Question: Where can I make an appointment?
Answer: All community health service centers can make an appointment.
