The epidemic situation in the area where I work these days has been severely completed, and many communities have been closed down, restricting entry and exit of personnel. All relevant personnel nearby have completed the "three-day and three inspections" in accordance with the requirements of the Prevention and Control Office. The express delivery received by the company cannot be delivered to the door, so it can only be placed at the designated location at the company's door, and then notified us to go downstairs to pick it up. Although it is a bit troublesome, everyone will still cooperate with the work. Of course, some people who don’t know what they are doing are themselves. When they entered the company gate at work this morning, they saw two people who refused to scan the place code and wanted to enter. The security guard scolded them: "Are you yellow codes? Why don’t you scan the place code?"
online reports that with the large-scale infection driven by Omickron and its new mutant subtype BF.4 spread around the world, the effectiveness of the original new crown vaccine has declined to varying degrees. A clinical trial published in The Lancet showed that after receiving two doses of Johnson & Johnson adenovirus vector vaccine and one dose of Pfizer vaccine as a booster, the effectiveness of the vaccine decreased to 8.8% after 25 weeks; even after three doses of Pfizer mRNA vaccine, the effectiveness of the vaccine was still not high after 10 weeks, reducing to 45.7%. When dealing with the original virus, the effective efficiency of a single shot of mRNA vaccine is as high as 90%. Today's COVID-19 vaccine has changed from preventing infection to preventing hospitalization, severe illness and death. Among the newly infected people at this stage, many of them have been vaccinated or have been infected before.
From the mortality data in the fifth wave of the epidemic in Hong Kong, it can be seen that the average mortality rates corresponding to 0 to 3 doses of vaccines are 3.04%, 1.03%, 0.17%, and 0.04%, respectively, of which the mortality rates of two and three doses of Sinovac vaccines are 0.35% and 0.06%, respectively, and the mortality rates of two and three doses of Fubitai mRNA vaccines are 0.05% and 0.03%, respectively. In terms of infection rate, the infection rate of unvaccinated people is as high as 30.9%, the infection rate of two-dose vaccine is still more than 20%, and the infection rate of three-dose vaccine has dropped to below 10%, of which the infection rate corresponding to the infection rate of three-dose Fubitai mRNA vaccine is 4.0%.
Under this situation, more and more countries have begun to plan or start the fourth dose of the new crown vaccine, including Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, Israel, Singapore , Denmark and Chile , etc. With BA.5 in Israel taking an absolute advantage, Israeli experts say it should consider the possibility of including the possibility of a fifth shot for the elderly and those with low immune function.
But let alone the fourth shot, the current three-dose vaccination rate of my country's vaccine is not high. When the first and second shots were taken, everyone went to vaccinate one after another. Why did this happen when the third shot was reached? I remember that the first shot was voluntary. It started to open around early 2021. Because there was no time to go to work, and everyone was watching, I didn’t go to the first shot until early April. I originally planned to get the second shot in January. Suddenly the epidemic was serious in the middle of the month, and people went to get the first shot. The school also notified that parents must present vaccination certificates if they entered the school to hold a parent-teacher meeting, which led to a crowd of people in the vaccination area. At the same time, because many people have reached the time to get the second shot, the first shot and the second shot were performed at the same time, and the situation became even more chaotic.
has no choice but to introduce many places to make an appointment before you can get vaccinated, which has alleviated the problem of overcrowding of vaccination sites. But the problem that arises is that when the account is released every day, we can basically not get the account. I remember that we went to grab the account at that time, but we didn’t get it for a month, but we didn’t understand how others robbed it? I saw that the second dose was over the specified time, and I felt even more nervous. Fortunately, a friend I met later worked in the hospital. One day, I happened to make an appointment but didn’t have time to come. I asked me if I wanted to get the second dose. I still feel scared when I recalled that period of experience.
When the third needle is opened, because the epidemic has been controlled, the third needle can be easily obtained without queuing up.It is said online that the three-dose vaccination rate of my country's vaccine is not high now. This is indeed the case. As far as I know, there are many people around me who have not been vaccinated, let alone the elderly at home. They are inconvenient to move and stay at home and do not go out, so they are not arranged to get vaccinated. Many people who have not yet taken the test asked them why they didn’t get the third shot. They said they were afraid that there would be other problems after the test, and they refused to get the third shot. They didn’t know what they were thinking. Even though the infection rate of the third shot was so low, they refused to get the second shot. Moreover, they were business, and they went on a business trip today and went to socializing tomorrow. Are you not worried about being infected?
August 10, 2021, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, residents who made an appointment received the new crown vaccine in the temporary hospital. In recent days, the current epidemic prevention and control situation at home and abroad is still very serious. The epidemic is still in a dangerous period, and risks are everywhere. Any fluke mentality or carelessness is extremely irresponsible to oneself, family, and society. Only by completing the full vaccination can the human body produce the optimal immune effect. To this end, please take positive action and complete the third dose of vaccination as soon as possible!
