new coronavirus mutant strains has brought more uncertainty to the development of the epidemic. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds that in the fall and winter of this year, the risk of the outbreak of the new crown epidemic and respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza still exists, which will increase the complexity and difficulty of prevention and control work.
Influenza is a vaccine preventable disease. In order to minimize the interference of influenza on the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic as much as possible, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention issued the "Technical Guidelines for the Prevention and Prevention of Influenza Vaccination in China (2021-2022)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines").
These five major groups of people are given priority vaccination
The Guide recommends vaccination of key and high-risk groups in accordance with priority order, including five major categories of people given priority vaccination:
1 is medical staff;
2 is participants and security personnel in large-scale events;
3 is vulnerable people and employees in nursing homes, long-term care institutions, welfare homes and other places of gathering;
4 It is a key place for teachers and students in childcare institutions, primary and secondary schools;
5 is other high-risk groups in flu,
includes elderly people over 60 years old, infants and toddlers aged 6-23 months, children aged 2-5 years old, patients with chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease , respiratory diseases, etc.; family members and caregivers of children under 6 months old; pregnant women or women who are preparing to get pregnant during the flu season.

"Influenza vaccine is a seasonal vaccine. It is a shortage of resources every year. There are many people who are given. If you take it in the past two days, the seedlings will be sufficient. If you are later, you cannot guarantee that there will be seedlings." said a staff member of the community health service center in Huangdao District, Qingdao.
provides free vaccination in many places
Influenza vaccination mode has been launched in many areas, and some people can also receive free vaccination. According to statistics from the Health Times website, Beijing, Shandong Zibo , Zhejiang Shaoxing and other people have received free influenza vaccines.

The self-paid influenza vaccination work will continue until the end of February 2022. The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds that it takes 14 days to complete the full vaccination of the new crown vaccine before it can get the flu vaccine.

"Starting next month, we will provide free 1 influenza vaccine and 1 pneumonia vaccination service for local residents over 70 years old." A relevant person in charge of Shaoxing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said.
What are the characteristics of this year's flu vaccine? Dr. Yang Xiaobing, director of the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Institute of Wuhan Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that every year, World Health Organization will analyze and predict what advantageous strains will be prevalent in the next epidemic season based on global influenza monitoring, and make suggestions on the production of vaccines in various countries. 01 is divided into two types: trivalent and tetravalent. According to the 2021-2022 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine components recommended by the World Health Organization, the influenza vaccines produced this year are divided into two types: trivalent and tetravalent. Among them, the trivalent influenza vaccine can prevent type A H1N1, type A H3N2 and type B Victoria influenza virus subtypes, and the quadrivalent influenza vaccine covers the Yamagata-type subtype of influenza virus subtype on this basis. In addition, influenza vaccines are available in nasal sprays and injections. Friends who are afraid of pain when they are given injections are blessed! 02 It is recommended that 2-4 weeks after the influenza vaccine is completed in October, antibodies with protective levels can be produced, and antibody titer begins to decay after 6-8 months. In order to ensure that recipients receive immunization protection before the high-influenza season, the Guidelines recommend that localities arrange vaccination work as soon as possible after the vaccine is available, and it is best to complete vaccination in October before the peak of influenza; for subjects who have not been vaccinated before the end of October, vaccination can be administered throughout the epidemic season. What is the difference between influenza and common cold ? 01 Influenza is more contagious and has a certain mortality rate. "Around October every year, Wuhan City begins to enter the influenza epidemic season." Yang Xiaobing introduced that influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the influenza virus infection . Although it is only a few words different from a cold, the harm caused is very different. The main reason is that influenza is highly contagious and is prone to cause serious complications such as pneumonia , myocarditis , and nervous system damage, with a certain mortality rate. 02The two have different symptoms. Influenza is more common in winter and spring. It mainly occurs with fever, headache, myalgia and general discomfort. The body temperature can reach 39~40℃. It often has systemic symptoms such as chills, chills, soreness in the whole body, fatigue, and loss of appetite. It often has sore throat , cough, nasal congestion, runny nose and other symptoms. In the early stage of a common cold, there is a dry throat, itchy throat or burning sensation. Symptoms of sneezing or nasal congestion appear at the same time or after a few hours, and the nasal discharge is clear watery, which will become thicker after 2-3 days. It may be accompanied by sore throat . Generally, there is no fever or only low fever , and the systemic symptoms are mild. A person can catch a cold multiple times a year without obvious seasonal characteristics.
. What should I pay attention to when getting influenza vaccination and COVID-19 vaccine? "Vaccination is the most economical and effective means to prevent and control infectious diseases." Yang Xiaobing, director of the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Institute of Wuhan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that at present, the vaccination of the new crown vaccination for people of appropriate age in Wuhan is still underway. It is very necessary to receive the new crown vaccine and influenza vaccine, which is of great significance to reducing the burden of disease and economic burden, and reducing severe or serious complications. 01 The interval between the two vaccinations should be greater than 14 days. Can the two vaccines be vaccinated at the same time? According to my country's "Technical Guidelines for the Vaccination of New Coronavirus (First Edition)", the interval between influenza vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccination should be greater than 14 days - citizens can get the COVID-19 vaccine 14 days after receiving the influenza vaccine; they can also get the influenza vaccine 14 days after completing the full course of the COVID-19 vaccine; they can also get the influenza vaccine between two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, that is, get the influenza vaccine 14 days after receiving the "first shot" of the COVID-19 vaccine, and get the "second shot" of the COVID-19 vaccine after 14 days. It is worth noting that choosing to get flu vaccine between two doses of the new crown vaccine requires compliance with the requirements of the number of doses and intervals of the new crown vaccine. 02 Before vaccination, you should actively inform your physical condition and vaccination status. Before vaccination, you should actively inform your medical staff of the recent physical health and vaccination status, and choose appropriate vaccines and scientific vaccination plans under the guidance of medical staff.
