China Net August 10th. Some netizens believe that for the elderly who have rarely been out for a long time, vaccination seems to be unnecessary. Wang Huaqing, chief expert of the China Centers for Immunization Planning, said at a press conference held on August 10th at the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council that long -term home and rarely went out, which did not mean that there was no risk of infection. Omikon variants are currently a popular advantage plant. It is characterized by fast transmission speed, high transmission intensity, and hidden communication. Compared with some of the previous new crown viruses, once there is a source of infection, the risk of infection in the elderly infection will be infected. It will increase.

Wang Huaqing said that the country has been advocating the vaccination of the elderly. With the efforts of all parties, the current vaccination rate of the elderly has been greatly improved, especially in some high vaccination rates. The vaccination rate of elderly people has exceeded 90%. However, the vaccination rate in some areas is low, and the vaccination rate of elderly people is less than 70%. In this case, once the new crown virus is spread or popular, for the elderly who have not vaccinated vaccines, especially the risk of severe illness and even death of elderly people are still great.

Wang Huaqing emphasized that the vaccination of the new crown virus vaccine is a very good measure to prevent severe illnesses and death, and the measures of vaccination and other new crowns are simple and easy to prevent and control new crowns. In addition, inoculation of new crown virus vaccines can also improve the specific immunity of the elderly.

"Therefore, it is recommended that the elderly who have not vaccinated vaccines or did not complete the whole process of vaccination and enhanced needles. As long as it is not a scope of contraindications, it is not a slow -type object. It is recommended to vaccinate as soon as possible, because the vaccination of vaccination can actually have a certain time. We hope that the elderly can cause the elderly to have a specific immunity to resist the invasion of the new crown virus. "Wang Huaqing said.
