will receive one free dose of 23-valent pneumonia vaccine for elderly people over 60 years old and will establish a long-term mechanism. This project is one of the top ten people's livelihood projects in Lishui City in 2020. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the county health and health bureau that in 2020, 12,516 elderly people of appropriate age in Qingyuan County received the 23-valent pneumonia vaccine for free. In 2021, Qingyuan County will plan to continue to vaccinate 8,000 qualified elderly people with household registration over 60 years old. As of now, 2,792 people have been vaccinated.
According to statistics, the proportion of elderly people who die directly from pneumococcal-related diseases reaches more than 16%, which not only causes serious disease burden to the elderly, leading to a decrease in life expectancy per capita, but also brings serious economic burden to individuals and society. Based on the 20% incidence of pneumococcal-related diseases, about 100,000 people infected with pneumococcal-related diseases in Lishui City every year.
"Vaccination with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is an effective means to prevent pneumoniae streptococcal diseases." Hu Lixia, the relevant person in charge of Songyuan Street Community Health Service Center, introduced that in recent times, the community health service center has received vaccination appointments from many elderly people and has launched a free vaccination project for the elderly over 60 years old at the county's new crown vaccine temporary vaccination site. As of now, Songyuan Street Community Health Service Center has received a total of 933 doses of 23-valent pneumonia vaccine, and 152 people have been given health examinations and supplementary examinations for the elderly over 65 years old. A total of more than 1,000 pieces of publicity materials were distributed on the spot.
It is understood that the vaccination targets are elderly people with household registration in Qingyuan County who have not received the 23-valent pneumonia vaccine within 5 years, have no contraindications for the 23-valent pneumonia vaccination, voluntary and informed consent, and are over 60 years old (the 2021 vaccination targets are those with a date of birth before December 31, 1960). However, those who are allergic to capsule polysaccharides, sodium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, phenol and other ingredients in the vaccine cannot be vaccinated. People who are in acute infection or acute onset of chronic diseases or fever should be temporarily postponed.
Free vaccination patients who meet the conditions must make an appointment for vaccination at the vaccination clinic of the community health service center (township health center) where the household registration is located.
