So, can our city get influenza vaccine now? Which community health service agencies can get influenza vaccine? In addition to influenza vaccine, which groups of people also need to get the common pneumonia vaccine? In addition to vaccination, what other protective details need to be paid attention to?
In response to these issues, on August 17, the reporter interviewed Zhang Suozhen, the head of the Immunization Planning Section of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Rang District.
Why should I get influenza vaccination?
Q: What are the symptoms of influenza? When is the time period?
Lang District Center for Disease Control and Prevention Zhang Suozhen, head of the Immunization Planning Section of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Influenza (referred to as influenza) is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus . Influenza virus is the most active respiratory infectious disease pathogen in the north in winter and spring. Its main clinical manifestations are fever, myalgia, headache, discomfort, dry cough, sore throat and rhinitis. People are generally susceptible to influenza virus. High-risk groups include children, the elderly, pregnant women, medical staff, and people with chronic basic diseases such as asthma bronchitis, diabetes, and heart disease.
Among them, the elderly and people with chronic diseases are also prone to diseases such as pneumonia, allergic asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, etc. The influenza epidemic is generally from October to March of the following year, and the most effective way to prevent influenza is to get influenza vaccination.
Question: It is August now, and there is still some time before the beginning of autumn and winter. Why should I get the influenza vaccine now?
Let Zhang Suozhen, head of the Immunization Planning Section of the District Center for Disease Control and Prevention: After influenza vaccination, it usually takes 2-4 weeks to produce antibodies with protective levels, so it is best to complete the vaccination one month before the peak of the influenza epidemic. If you are not vaccinated in time during the best golden period, but as long as there is no disease, you can get vaccinated throughout the flu epidemic season.
Q: I was vaccinated with influenza vaccine last year. Do I still need to get it this year?
Let Zhang Suozhen, head of the Immunization Planning Section of the District Center for Disease Control and Prevention: The protective effect of influenza vaccine is relatively short. Usually, after 6-8 months of influenza vaccine, the antibodies begin to decay. By the second year of the influenza epidemic season, the antibodies can no longer achieve effective protection. So regardless of whether you get the flu vaccine in the previous year, it is still recommended to get vaccinated before the flu season comes every year.
Q: Can I get influenza vaccine now? Are there any influenza vaccines in various community health service agencies?
Zhang Suozhen, head of the Immunization Planning Section of the Ranghulu District Center for Disease Control and Prevention: This year, the first batch of quadrivalent influenza vaccines in our city have arrived in various community health service agencies one after another. Citizens can make an appointment with various community health service agencies in advance.
Remind citizens that influenza vaccine is a vaccine used in non-national immunization program, namely the second category of vaccines. Citizens can voluntarily choose and receive it at their own expense. At present, the quadrivalent influenza vaccine is suitable for children over three years old and adults. The influenza vaccine for children under three years old is not yet available.
For trivalent influenza vaccines and quadrivalent influenza vaccines, everyone can choose voluntarily according to their own situation.
Q: In addition to influenza vaccine, which groups are also recommended to receive the common pneumonia vaccine?
Let Zhang Suozhen, head of the Immunization Planning Section of the District Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Those with elderly people at home, especially middle-aged and elderly people suffering from chronic heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes, have many underlying diseases, respiratory mucosa atrophy, and low immunity. When stimulated by bacterial invasion and cold, they are extremely susceptible to respiratory diseases and are "invulnerable to infection". The above groups can be vaccinated with influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia vaccine to prevent influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia, reduce the frequency of respiratory diseases or reduce symptoms.
Tip: Getting the influenza vaccine does not mean you won’t catch a cold. Influenza vaccine is only effective against influenza viruses and cannot prevent the common cold virus.
Q: If you live in Sa District, can you go to the Community Health Service Center in Rang District to get influenza and common pneumonia vaccine?
Zhang Suozhen, head of the Immunization Planning Section of the Ranghulu District Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Influenza and common pneumonia vaccine belong to Class II vaccines, that is, citizens need to receive it at their own expense. There is no restriction on their place of residence. You can go to the cross-regional community health service center and voluntarily choose to get vaccinated.
It is recommended that citizens call to consult and make an appointment when they go to vaccinate, because there are many people who have been vaccinated with influenza vaccine recently, so everyone must go to vaccination after confirming that there is a vaccine.
Q: In addition to getting vaccinated to prevent influenza and ordinary pneumonia, what details should everyone pay attention to in life?
Let Zhang Suozhen, head of the Immunization Planning Section of the District Center for Disease Control and Prevention: While getting vaccinated with influenza and ordinary pneumonia, maintaining good personal hygiene habits is also an important means to prevent respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza.
In the flu epidemic season, try to avoid going to crowded places. After influenza symptoms, when coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with tissues, towels, etc. and wash your hands, and try to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
When family members have influenza patients, try to avoid contact with each other, especially when there are elderly people and chronic patients at home.
In addition, when parents with flu symptoms go to the hospital for treatment, they should also take good care of the children and themselves, wear masks to avoid cross infection.
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.
