This year,
local epidemics of new coronavirus pneumonia have occurred in many places in the country.
In the face of sudden epidemics,
the editor also recommends that everyone
improve their own protection while
get the new crown vaccine as soon as possible and booster shots
establish population immunity as soon as possible
Among them, vaccination of the elderly is very critical!
Why do the elderly need to be vaccinated against the new coronavirus?
After the elderly are infected with the new coronavirus, the proportion of severe illness and death is higher. The elderly often have underlying diseases. Judging from the current global situation, once they are infected with the new coronavirus, their risk of severe illness and death is much higher than that of young people and children.
Should the elderly undergo enhanced immunization?
Yes, And very necessary. Over the past two years, research on the new coronavirus has found that the level of neutralizing antibodies produced by the elderly after being vaccinated with the new coronavirus vaccine is lower than that of young people, and all groups have lower levels of neutralizing antibodies over time after being vaccinated against the new coronavirus. As time goes by, the level of neutralizing antibodies will also decrease to a certain extent, so the elderly who meet the vaccination requirements should receive a booster shot as soon as possible. Get a booster shot!
Of course, the issue that the elderly are most concerned about
must be the safety of the new crown vaccine!
How safe is it for the elderly to receive the COVID-19 vaccine? Are there any adverse reactions?
The COVID-19 vaccines currently used in our country have all carried out clinical trials on the entire population, including the elderly, showing that the vaccines have good safety.
Among various types of COVID-19 vaccines, the overall side effects of my country's main vaccines are relatively low. For example, the rate of fever after vaccination is about 17.61/1 million, and generally does not require treatment; severe allergic reactions are less than one in 10,000,000, and there is no serious problem as long as they are treated in time. Moreover, old people -year-olds have slightly lower adverse reactions than adults.
Elderly people have not experienced anaphylactic shock or laryngeal edema after vaccination, as well as those who have fever or are in the acute stage of infectious diseases and neurological diseases Outside the epidemic period, the new coronavirus vaccine can be vaccinated.
Elderly people living in remote rural areas should also respond to the call and do their best.
Living in remote areas, is it still necessary to get the new coronavirus vaccine?
It is necessary. First of all, as the proportion of young people being vaccinated is getting higher and higher, even if many young people are infected, their symptoms will be very mild or even asymptomatic. When they go home to visit the elderly, there is a risk of bringing the virus home and infecting the elderly. This will bring huge infection risks to the elderly who have not been vaccinated.
Secondly, in rural areas, especially remote rural areas, medical treatment conditions may be worse than in cities. Vaccination is the best protective measure
Finally, once an elderly person becomes seriously ill or dies, the burden on the family is huge. Therefore, we must try our best to ensure that all the elderly should receive the vaccine.
Are there any matters that the elderly need to pay attention to if they want to receive the COVID-19 vaccine?
Can I get vaccinated if I have underlying diseases? Does
need to be accompanied by family members for vaccination?
What should the elderly pay attention to when receiving the new crown vaccine?
First, when the elderly are vaccinated, if they have underlying diseases, it is recommended to be vaccinated during the stable period. If there is no way to define the plateau period, it is recommended to consult a vaccination doctor or clinician to evaluate whether the vaccine can be vaccinated.
Second, make an appointment for vaccination in advance. Before vaccination, you should understand the vaccination process and vaccine-related knowledge. It is also necessary to prevent the elderly from waiting too much at the scene, which may cause other situations such as fatigue and nervousness. During the vaccination process, it is recommended that the elderly be accompanied by their family members to prevent accidental falls.
Third, after vaccination, the elderly should stay under observation for 30 minutes.If you experience symptoms of discomfort after vaccination and they last for a long time, it is recommended to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If you have suspected vaccine-related symptoms, you should also report them as soon as possible.
