In the past few days, the new crown problem has frequently been on the hot search list, and the epidemic prevention and control in many cities has changed. The State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism also held a press conference to respond to the epidemic issues that everyone is concerned about, and introduced “New Ten Epidemic Prevention and Control Optimization Measures” .

Seeing such new changes, I believe many patients have the same feelings as Mutual Aid: the epidemic has lasted for three years and has brought earth-shaking changes to our lives. Now that the epidemic prevention policy is gradually being relaxed, is joy for the general public, but it is also a kind of worry about the unknown.

Thanks to the motherland's efforts and protection over the past three years, our "danger" has been minimized. Now with large-scale vaccination and virus mutation , the pathogenicity of the new crown has gradually been weakened, the overall health risks of the people tend to ease, and my country's epidemic prevention work has also ushered in new situations and new changes.

But it should be noted that optimization does not mean completely relaxing, nor does it mean that you can avoid protection. On the contrary, it is time to rely on ourselves! So, as a cancer patient, how should you protect yourself in the next days?

vaccine can be administered! Because it is more troublesome to get infected

protection first step is new crown vaccine . However, many patients have doubts about whether to get vaccinated: Can I get vaccinated? When to fight? Do you need to reduce the amount?

In fact, the risk of COVID-19 infection, severe mortality rate and mortality rate of patients with solid malignant tumors are higher than that of normal people. They belong to the high-risk group for COVID-19 and need vaccines to protect them more. Therefore, according to the "Chinese Expert Consensus on Protection and Diagnosis and Treatment of Solid Tumor Patients During the Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic": Under normal circumstances, tumor patients should be vaccinated, because it will be more troublesome if infected.

So, do I need to make adjustments in the dose? In the absence of special emergencies, tumor patients can be vaccinated with conventional doses, and the vaccine is safe and effective. Therefore, Muzhujun suggests that friends can consult the attending doctor first. After the doctor comprehensively evaluates the physical condition, immune function and condition for vaccination, they can get vaccinated.

Next, let’s talk about the timing of vaccination. Patients in different treatment periods are suitable for vaccination.

vaccination time

• Patients during surgery: can choose the appropriate time to vaccinate one week before the operation or after the body recovers after the operation.
• chemotherapy: is vaccinated at least 2 weeks before chemotherapy, or 1-2 weeks after the end of chemotherapy. Patients during radiotherapy:
• Patients during radiotherapy: short-term radiotherapy can be waited for the end of the course of treatment before vaccination, or vaccinated during radiotherapy according to their own conditions.
• 5 patients during endocrine and targeted treatment: recommended to be vaccinated after evaluation by the doctor based on their own comprehensive situation (drug side effects, emergencies, and conditions). Patients during the treatment of
• Immune checkpoint inhibitor: Vaccination of this type of patients is short-term safe, but more research data is needed, and its long-term safety needs further observation.
• Patients participating in the clinical trial: needs to consult the clinical project team and choose the appropriate time to vaccinate according to the requirements of the trial plan.

How can tumor patients protect themselves during the epidemic?

At the moment of the epidemic, cancer patients are among the high-risk groups for the new crown, so it is very important to protect themselves! Huzhujun has compiled a few key protection points for everyone, let’s take a look:

1. Vaccines can reduce the chance of severe illness and cannot achieve 100% protective effect. Therefore, everyone should do a good job in daily health monitoring. If you have symptoms such as sudden fever, dry throat, sore throat, and cough, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

2. Be sure to take protection when going out, bring a mask, and wash your hands and disinfect them in time when you get home. It is cold in winter, so be careful to keep warm and be careful to catch a cold or catch a cold.

3. Exercise appropriately every day, which is one of the favorable "weapons" to enhance your own immunity. Choose appropriate exercise methods according to your own recovery, such as walking, Baduan Jin , jogging, yoga, Tai Chi , etc., and is carried out step by step to maintain a certain amount of exercise but not to be too tired.

4. Intake of adequate nutrition is very critical for patients. Scientifically match daily meals, ensures that vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, dairy products, etc. are intake, balanced nutrition, and supplement vitamins, and protein .

5. It is recommended that you prepare a "protective first aid kit" when you go out, which contains masks, alcohol , commonly used drugs (such as anti-tumor drugs, cold drugs, side effect relief drugs, etc.) and some daily necessities. You can carry them with you when you travel far away.

6. You can prepare some drugs that can relieve the symptoms of the new crown, but you don’t need to stock up too many drugs, such as compound cold medicine (Tylenol, Contec, etc.), fever or analgesics ( ibuprofen , etc.), Huoxiang Zhengqi Capsule (suitable for fatigue and gastrointestinal discomfort), Jinhua Qinggan Granules (suitable for fatigue and dry throat), Lianhua Qingwen Capsule or Shufeng Jiedu Capsule (suitable for dry stool). Here is a warm reminder for Mutual Aid: If you are feeling uncomfortable, it is recommended to go to the hospital directly and take the medicine in combination with drug contraindications to avoid the anti-cancer effect being affected by taking the medicine by yourself.
