Recently, the influenza vaccination in the city is underway. Against the backdrop of the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic this year, citizens' attention to influenza vaccination has also increased. So, when is the best time to get vaccinated? Is it necessary for everyone to get vaccinated? What should I pay attention to during vaccination? Will you not catch a cold again after vaccination? …On October 21, the reporter interviewed Yang Lanying, a general physician of the Preventive Health Care Department of Beijing Boji Health Examination Management Center in the district with these questions, and answered questions about influenza vaccination related to citizens’ concerns.
Q: Is all people going to get influenza vaccinated?
A: Influenza is a common respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus in autumn and winter, and is prone to complications from other organs. Influenza vaccination is the most economical and effective way to prevent influenza. Due to weak thymus and low autoimmunity, the elderly, children and patients with chronic diseases are at high risk for influenza viruses, so they are given priority for vaccination. According to the "Technical Guidelines for the Prevention of Influenza Vaccination in China (2020-2021)", it is recommended that children aged 6 months to 5 years old, especially children under 2 years old; family members and caregivers of infants under 6 months old, elderly people aged 60 and above, patients with specific chronic diseases (such as patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic lung disease, heart disease, etc.), medical staff, nursing homes, long-term care institutions, welfare homes and other groups can receive influenza vaccines as long as there are no contraindications.
Combined with the current epidemic prevention and control situation, young people with good comprehensive qualities in all aspects of their health are also recommended to actively receive influenza vaccine this year to increase their resistance and reduce the chance of medical treatment in the fever clinic. However, vaccination for people with allergic constitutions is not recommended, such as those who are allergic to eggs and vaccine components. People who have had Guillenbarre syndrome cannot be vaccinated.
Q: If I have been vaccinated last year, do I still need to be vaccinated again this year?
A: Need. This is because the protective effect of inactivated influenza vaccine on antigen-like strains can be maintained for 6-8 months, and serum antibody levels are significantly reduced after one year of vaccination. At the same time, influenza viruses also have many types and are prone to mutation. In order to match the constantly mutated influenza virus, the influenza vaccine components recommended by the World Health Organization in most seasons will be updated with one or more strains. Therefore, in order to ensure that the vaccinated population is protected to the maximum extent, even if the components of the influenza vaccine are exactly the same as the previous season, given that the antibody titers of most vaccinators have dropped significantly, it is still recommended to be vaccinated before the flu season that year.
In addition, since it usually takes 2-4 weeks after influenza vaccination to produce antibodies with protective levels, vaccination should be completed one month before the peak of influenza epidemic. Of course, vaccination can also be done throughout the pandemic season.
Q: What are the precautions before and after influenza vaccination? Will adverse reactions occur after vaccination?
Answer: Patients with colds, fevers, acute diseases and chronic diseases onset cannot be vaccinated during the illness and can go to the hospital for vaccination one week after recovery. You can take a bath before vaccination to ensure personal hygiene. Because the vaccination location is located at the base of the arm, it is recommended that citizens try to wear button-up shirts or clothes with loose collars and cuffs when they arrive at the hospital for vaccination. After the vaccination is completed, take a shower and shower again 24 hours later.
After influenza vaccination, there are usually no side effects and no disease will occur. A small number of people may experience pain, itching, or mild fever at the vaccination site, but these are normal phenomena that occur after vaccination, so don’t panic about this. People who feel physically discomfort and fatigue can pay more attention to rest in daily life, and the corresponding symptoms will disappear on their own within 1-2 days.
Q: Do you won’t catch a cold or a fever after getting the flu vaccine?
A: No. The flu vaccine mainly prevents and resists the influenza virus.The self-paid and free influenza vaccines used in this city this year include two vaccine groups: trivalent and tetravalent vaccines. Among them, trivalent influenza vaccines can prevent three types of influenza viruses, namely H1N1, H3N2 and BV. The tetravalent influenza vaccine also contains BY influenza virus immune antigens based on the above three types, which can more comprehensively prevent different types of influenza viruses.
However, if you do not pay attention to protection, the common cold caused by daily temperature drops, cold snatching, etc. will still appear. Therefore, citizens still need to take protective measures in autumn and winter after receiving the influenza vaccine. For example, when going out, please pay attention to adding clothes to keep warm, when indoors, pay attention to ventilation, promote air flow, drink hot water, and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. Parents should try to take their children to crowded places as little as possible. After contacting public facilities outside, they should wash their hands and disinfect them after returning home to help their children develop good personal hygiene habits. Office workers who have to stay up late due to work can also choose to get up and work after 3 a.m. to supplement protein regularly, which can reduce the chance of getting sick.
Q: How to distinguish between influenza and common cold?
A: The symptoms of influenza and common cold are similar, but there are also obvious differences. Citizens can make preliminary identification based on the following symptoms. Patients infected with influenza virus will experience obvious symptoms such as general pain, high fever, and constant cough. The physical discomfort of patients with common colds is mainly reflected in fatigue throughout the body, but there is no pain. The symptoms of fever caused by colds are mainly low fever, and will improve after rest. Therefore, when a patient finds that he or she has symptoms such as general pain and high fever due to a cold, he or she should go to the hospital's fever clinic in time.
At the same time, I would like to remind you here that for common colds, some people will take daily isatis root and cold powder to prevent it. This method is actually incorrect. We all know the saying "It's a medicine three parts poison", so it will have certain side effects and cause harm to the human body. Therefore, if there is no cold symptoms, it is not recommended for everyone to use medicine. In addition, for many people who choose to buy routine cold medicines in pharmacies to treat common colds, it is recommended that everyone take the dosage according to the instructions for the drug instructions, and do not increase the dosage by themselves or buy multiple cold medicines at the same time to take them together. Blind use of medicine not only fails to achieve twice the result with half the effort, but also damages human organs. After finding that the symptoms are serious, you should also pay attention to visiting the hospital in time and take medication as prescribed by the doctor. Media Center reporter Yu Xiaoling
