At present, the overseas COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread. Many experts have predicted that COVID-19 will make a comeback in autumn and winter. The epidemic and flu combined with the risk of epidemics have made influenza vaccines hot for a while. A large number of citizens are concentrated in early injections, causing the supply of influenza vaccines to be tight. The flu vaccines at most vaccination sites are still out of stock. So why is the flu vaccine "hard to get a shot" this year? If you don’t get vaccinated, what other methods do citizens have to prevent scientifically?
Early in the morning on October 22, Ms. Tian, a citizen, took her one-half son Niu Niu to the Xinhua Street Community Health Service Center in Jianghan District. After registering, checking identity and paying the fee, the doctor quickly vaccinated Niu Niu with the flu vaccine that she had been waiting for for several months.

asked several nearby communities that could not make an appointment, and they all had no vaccines. If you get a vaccine in an extraordinary period, you should be more at ease, and the stone in your heart fell.

Niu Niu waited for the long-awaited influenza vaccine, but more citizens have not been able to make an appointment successfully.

Because of the limited production capacity of influenza vaccines. Since the influenza virus type is easy to change, manufacturers can only produce corresponding vaccines based on the epidemic strains announced by the World Health Organization every year, which objectively limits the production of influenza vaccines. At the same time, the preparation time of influenza vaccines is long and the cost is relatively high. The annual vaccine production plan of manufacturers is usually determined a year ago. The demand for influenza vaccines has increased this year, but the ability of manufacturers to expand their energy is limited.
”
At present, our province is actively seeking to increase vaccines from the country to gradually alleviate the current shortage of vaccines. Faced with the current situation of insufficient vaccines, how can citizens prevent influenza if they cannot get vaccinated? Experts believe that in addition to vaccination, maintaining good hygiene habits is an important means to prevent influenza!
Scientific hygiene habits such as wearing masks and washing hands frequently can prevent influenza. In the season of influenza epidemic, try to avoid going to places where people gather. If influenza symptoms appear, for example, cough, Sneeze or get fever, cover your mouth and nose with tissues, towels, etc., then wash your hands, and try to avoid contact with your eyes, mouth and nose. When family members have influenza patients, try to avoid contact with each other, especially if there are elderly people and chronic diseases at home.
”
In addition, when influenza-like cases occur in collective units such as schools and childcare institutions, patients should rest at home to reduce the spread of the disease. It is understood that the number of influenza reported in our city in the third quarter decreased by 75% compared with the same period last year, and hand, foot and mouth disease decreased by 96% compared with the same period last year. An important reason is that residents wash their hands frequently when wearing masks and maintain social distance. Wuhan Radio and Television Station produces
