CCTV Beijing May 17th news (Reporter Che Li) According to CCTV China Voice of China News, "Have you been vaccinated?" This seems to have become the latest way for people to say hello. At present, all parts of the country are accelerating the vaccination of the new coronavirus vaccine in batches in accordance with the principles of receiving all the recipients, promoting them in stages, highlighting key points, and ensuring safety. Currently, the national daily vaccination capacity exceeds 20 million doses. As of May 15, 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have reported a total of 392.987 million doses of new coronavirus vaccine.

The new coronavirus vaccination work is progressing steadily, but many people have also raised some questions, how many times do the new coronavirus vaccine need to be vaccinated? How long is the interval appropriate? What should I do if the time limit is accidentally exceeded? Can I get vaccinated in other places? On May 16, the reporter interviewed Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the immunization program of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. He said that regarding the number and interval of the new coronavirus vaccination dose, the "Technical Guidelines for the Vaccination of New Coronavirus (First Edition)" issued by the National Health Commission of pointed out that for inactivated new coronavirus vaccine, two doses are required, and the vaccination interval is recommended to be greater than or equal to three weeks. The second dose will be completed as soon as possible within 8 weeks after the first dose. One dose is required for the recombinant coronavirus vaccine (type 5 adenovirus vector). For recombinant coronavirus vaccine (CHO cells), it is recommended that 3 doses be administered. The vaccination interval between two adjacent doses is greater than or equal to 4 weeks. The second dose should be completed within 8 weeks after the first dose, and the third dose should be completed within 6 months after the first dose.

Why do the inactivated new coronavirus vaccine require two shots? What if you don’t have time to get a second shot after week 8? Wang Huaqing said: "Because the protection efficiency of one vaccine is relatively low, it can only produce a better protective effect after two shots. We recommend that you complete it as soon as possible within 8 weeks. If you exceed 8 weeks for various reasons, the subsequent vaccination is also OK, but we recommend that you complete it as soon as possible."

recombinant coronavirus vaccine (CHO cells) stipulates that 3 doses of vaccination need to be administered within 6 months. If you miss the time, should you re-vaccinate? Wang Huaqing responded: "The recombinant subunit protein vaccine actually requires three injections. The interval between the first and second shots, and the interval between the second and third shots cannot be less than 4 weeks. We recommend that the last shot and the first shot be completed as soon as possible within 6 months. If you have exceeded 6 months, you don't need to start over. Just re-eat the remaining vaccines that need to be re-eat, but we still recommend that the third shot be completed as soon as possible."

As the domestic epidemic gradually stabilizes, more and more people traveling and going out to work. If you are on a business trip, can you get a second shot in another place? The National Health Commission requires the connection between cross-regional vaccination of mobile personnel and strive to achieve "all those who should be received". Wang Huaqing said, "If you go to another place and stay for a long time and cannot return to the original place to vaccinate, you can give the vaccination certificate to the local area and add the second shot according to the vaccination certificate. If the second shot is supplemented, if it is the inactivated vaccine , try to use the same manufacturer according to the vaccine used in the early stage. If there is no vaccine supplied by the same manufacturer, the second shot can be completed with the inactivated vaccine from other manufacturers. If it is used for subunit protein vaccine, then the subunit protein vaccine must be used for subsequent re-injection."

During the vaccination of the new coronavirus vaccine, some people will experience trauma or be scratched by cats and dogs. Regarding the question of whether other vaccines can be vaccinated at the same time as the new coronavirus vaccine, Wang Huaqing said that considering the identification of adverse reactions, under normal circumstances, experts do not recommend that the new coronavirus vaccine and the HPV vaccine , and other vaccines be vaccinated at the same time. However, if you are bitten by a dog or have trauma, it is recommended not to consider the time interval when injecting rabies vaccine or tetanus vaccine, and give priority to rabies vaccine and tetanus vaccine.
