The number of coronavirus vaccine doses is rising rapidly.
A reporter from The Paper found that according to the daily new coronavirus vaccination status announced on the official website of the National Health Commission, a total of 3,458.412 million doses were vaccinated nationwide on December 19, a total of 3,461.498 million doses were vaccinated nationwide on the 20th, and a total of 3,465.123 million doses were vaccinated nationwide on the 21st.
In other words, more than 3 million doses were administered on December 20, and more than 3.5 million doses were administered on the 21st. In the past two weeks, this single-day figure did not exceed 1.5 million doses.

As epidemic prevention and control measures continue to be optimized, the corresponding vaccination guarantee work has also been stepped up recently.
The Comprehensive Team of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council in response to New Coronavirus Pneumonia The "Notice on Issuing the Implementation Plan for the Second Dose of Booster Immunization of the New Coronavirus Vaccine" announced on December 13th stated that at this stage, on the basis of the first dose of booster immunization, the second dose of booster immunization can be carried out among high-risk groups, people over 60 years old, people with serious underlying diseases and people with low immunity. The
notice requires that all localities should continue to prioritize vaccination safety and strictly follow the requirements of the " Preventive Vaccination Work Specifications " to standardize the organization and implementation of vaccination. Health departments in various places must implement the "four musts" requirements that vaccination units have emergency personnel from general hospitals of level two or above to be stationed, have first aid equipment and medicines, have 120 ambulances on site, and have green channels for treatment in general hospitals of level two or above to ensure the safety of vaccination.
On December 22, Xinhua News Agency published the "Xinhua Commentary" stating that my country has recently further optimized new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic prevention and control measures and continuously improved the scientific and precise level of prevention and control. To maintain the line of defense to protect health and prevent serious illness, we must not only ensure that people receive medical treatment and medication, but also continue to promote COVID-19 vaccination and adhere to basic protective measures against COVID-19. In the face of the continuously mutating virus , active vaccination is a key measure to protect vulnerable groups, resist the impact of the epidemic, and consolidate the immune barrier . Data from
shows that at present, the full vaccination rate of the new coronavirus vaccine for the entire population in my country has exceeded 90%, and the country has reported a total of more than 3.46 billion doses of the new coronavirus vaccine. Among them, the full vaccination rates for people over 60 years old and over 80 years old are 86.6% and 66.4% respectively. The vaccination rate for people over 80 years old still needs to be improved urgently.
Vaccination helps protect vulnerable people. The elderly are at high risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19. Vaccination can effectively reduce the risk of severe illness and death among the elderly after being infected with the new coronavirus, and will bring the greatest benefits. For the 267 million elderly people over the age of 60 across the country, every 1 percentage point increase in the vaccination rate means that more than 2 million people have built immune barriers.
Vaccination can help protect against the impact of the epidemic. After vaccination, the antibody level will decrease over time, and as the virus mutates, immune escape will also increase. However, the role of vaccination in effectively reducing the risk of severe illness and death is still relatively long-lasting.
Vaccination helps strengthen the immune barrier. Research shows that by strengthening immunization, it can not only awaken the body's immune memory cells, but also increase antibody levels. Recently, the country has formulated a plan to accelerate vaccination, carried out the second dose of booster immunization, and issued a "Work Plan for Strengthening New Coronavirus Vaccination for the Elderly". Experts from the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council called on people who have not completed the enhanced immunization , as long as they meet the vaccination conditions, they should complete the enhanced immunization as soon as possible to achieve a better protective effect.
Xinhua Times article wrote: Adhering to basic protective measures against the new coronavirus is the first person responsible for your own health, and it is also a strong support for the overall epidemic prevention. Currently, the number of new infections is in a period of rapid growth, and a new wave of epidemic peak is coming. By taking protective measures against COVID-19 and continuing to promote vaccination, we can better build a "Great Wall of Immunity" to respond to the epidemic.
