Query
What are the high-risk groups after infection with the new coronary pneumonia?
Answer
From the practice of clinical medical treatment for new coronary pneumonia, people with severe tendencies include several aspects:
First of all, the elderly. The elderly over 60 are at risk of severe illness after being infected with the new coronavirus, and the elderly over 80 are at high risk of severe illness. Secondly, patients with underlying diseases. In clinical practice, people with underlying diseases, especially those with underlying diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , respiratory diseases, tumors, chronic renal insufficiency, etc., have a higher risk of severe illness after infection with the new coronavirus. Third, there are people who are not vaccinated. Vaccination can effectively reduce the risk of severe illness and death. It is recommended that people who have no contraindications and meet the vaccination conditions, especially the elderly, should receive the new crown vaccine as soon as possible. Those who meet the requirements for strengthening vaccination should strengthen vaccination as soon as possible.
Ask
Why do the elderly need to get vaccinated?
Answer
As the physical functions of the elderly gradually decline and most of them have certain underlying diseases, they are prone to develop severe, critical or even death after being infected with the new coronavirus. Vaccination has good results in preventing severe illness, death, etc.
Studies have shown that after receiving the new crown vaccine throughout the process, the risk of severe illness and death can be reduced by more than 90%. Therefore, it is necessary for the elderly to get vaccinated as soon as possible, on time and in time.
Questions
Is there any rumor that elderly people over 80 years old will be more likely to experience adverse reactions when vaccinated with the new crown vaccine?
Answer
Judging from the results of previous clinical trials and the monitoring results of current vaccine applications, no "80-year-old people are more likely to have adverse reactions." When conducting clinical trials, the vaccine is strictly monitored and can only be approved for use within an acceptable range.
According to the analysis of the current monitoring results, the incidence of adverse reactions in elderly people over 60 years old is lower than that in other age groups, and elderly people who meet the vaccination conditions can be vaccinated with confidence. Please stay for 30 minutes after vaccination to minimize the risk.
