China.com, December 20 (Reporter Wu Jiatong) The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on the 20th on scientific and precise prevention and control of the epidemic. Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, introduced that the analysis of the monitoring results of suspected abnormal reactions of in my country's new coronavirus vaccine shows that the adverse reactions that occur after vaccination with the new coronavirus vaccine generally account for the majority, mainly fever and abnormal reactions such as redness and swelling and nodules at the vaccination site, most of which are allergic rashes. ‍

Wang Huaqing pointed out that the incidence of elderly people is lower than that of other groups, whether they have fever, local reactions, or allergic rashes. Therefore, there are results that report adverse reactions in elderly people aged 60 and above are slightly lower than those under 60 years old. The main reason why the elderly have lower adverse reactions such as fever, local redness, swelling and nodules at the vaccination site are related to other groups is that the elderly have relatively weak reactions. There have been similar situations in previous flu vaccines.
