Oriental Network reporters Liu Yilin and Ding Yihan reported on May 28: This morning, Shanghai held the 197th press conference on epidemic prevention and control. According to Sun Xiaodong, deputy director of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, according to our preliminary analysis of existing data, among the severe cases aged 18-59 in this round of epidemic, their vaccination rates for completing basic immunity and strengthening immunity for the new crown vaccine were 47% and 23%, respectively, which were significantly lower than the overall vaccination level of positive infections. Compared with those who have not been vaccinated, among those who have completed basic immunity or have completed strengthening immunity, the risk of severe illness after being infected with the new crown virus can be reduced by about 90%.
Among severe cases aged 60 and above, the vaccination rates of basic immunity and enhanced immunity of the new crown vaccine are only 8% and 3%, respectively, which are significantly lower than those aged 18-59. Our analysis found that among people aged 60 and above, the risk of severe illness after being infected with the new crown virus can be reduced by more than 60%. If strengthened immunity is completed, the risk of severe illness after being infected with the new crown virus can be reduced by 90%.
Based on this data, we still recommend that eligible elderly people should receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible when appropriate. If the basic immunization has been completed for 6 months, they should receive the booster dose as soon as possible.
