"I am so happy to be vaccinated in my physical condition!" On June 9, at the vaccination site of Haibin Street Stadium, Binhai New District, Tianjin, 91-year-old Cai Xiuzhi said happily. On that day, the old man was accompanied by her 71-year-old son to the vaccination site to get vaccinated together. The on-site staff have been accompanying them to scan the code, fill in forms, and treat the diagnosis and treatment. The whole process is thoughtful and the scene is particularly heartwarming.

Because Cai Xiuzhi is older, the staff coordinated and guided the vaccination site to allow the elderly to enter quickly through the "green channel". The professional doctors on the scene were only vaccinated after careful inquiries and evaluation. Cai Xiuzhi currently lives in Haibin Street. With the publicity and encouragement of the community and the streets, she took the initiative to ask her son to bring her to get vaccinated. "Now the country is vaccinating everyone for free. We must believe in the party and the country. As an elderly person, I must take the lead in getting vaccinated and set an example for other elderly people!" Cai Xiuzhi said.
Cai Xiuzhi is not the oldest vaccinated person. On June 2, 99-year-old Sun Xiufang successfully received the first dose of the new coronavirus vaccine at the temporary vaccination site of the First Community Health Service Center of Eco-city City, and became the oldest vaccinator in the Eco-city area.

After a series of inquiries and verifications, after confirming that his health status was stable, community staff accompanied the elderly to the registration desk and signed an informed consent form. The elderly had no adverse reactions when the vaccination ended. "You have to observe frequently when you get home. If anything is abnormal, you must contact us as soon as possible!" Before leaving, the staff at the vaccination site carefully reminded the elderly and their families.
"It's great, I can only feel at ease after getting vaccinated." Sun Xiufang said, "We elderly people can still enjoy the care of so many people when they are vaccinated. There are cars picking up and dropping off from beginning to end, and there are also car-like services from our community staff on site. Thank you so much!"
At the vaccination site, there are not only elderly people who are vaccinated with family groups like Cai Xiuzhi, but also some elderly "brothers" and "sisters". "Uncles and aunts are in good health, very energetic, and have very cheerful personalities. They usually go out with their friends to travel, and for themselves and for the people around them, everyone makes an appointment to get vaccinated." The on-site staff said.
To facilitate vaccination for elderly people over 70 years old, Haibin Street has opened green channels at various vaccination sites, and has also taken various measures to provide on-site service guarantees. A general practitioner consultation desk is also specially set up at the vaccination site to facilitate blood pressure measurement and health consultation before vaccination, and completely eliminate the concerns of the elderly about vaccination.
"Have you had a fever recently?" "Have you ever had a serious allergic reaction to the vaccine before?" In order to ensure safe and effective vaccination, in the testing area, medical staff asked in detail about the health status of the elderly and explained the things to pay attention to when vaccinating.
"Everyone has the responsibility for vaccination." A relevant person in charge of Lanyuan Community said that the community will continue to provide the most convenient and considerate services to residents, especially the elderly, with care, so that citizens can be vaccinated with confidence and jointly build an effective immune barrier.
Recently, the vaccination work in Binhai New Area has been continuously promoted, and the public's awareness of health protection has been improved. Citizens in the new area are actively vaccinated with the new crown vaccine. The actions of all streets, towns and villages have promoted the smooth development of the COVID-19 vaccination work. As of June 9, the first dose of Binhai New Area has been vaccinated for 1.587 million people, achieving a total population coverage of 76.7% of the new coronavirus vaccination, and the vaccination rate of the population over 18 years old reached 91.8%.
