  Children are an important part of herd immunization work

  1. Why do we need to carry out new crown vaccination for people aged 3-11?

  The best way to prevent new coronary pneumonia is to vaccinate.

There are four considerations for children vaccinating the new crown vaccine.

First, prevent disease.

In the early stages of the new crown epidemic, the infection rate among children was relatively low.

Nowadays, with the global pandemic and continuous spread of new coronary pneumonia, the infection rate among children is rising.

In some countries, the incidence of children is now close to that of adults at the end of last year, and has even increased.

This means that the understanding of the past needs to be changed, and the group of children also need vaccines for protection.

Second, as the infection rate among children rises, severe cases or deaths in children occur from time to time, and vaccines can effectively reduce severe illness and mortality.

Third, children infected with the new crown virus are also a source of infection, and this part of the population has a high degree of daily gathering, which is difficult to manage, and is likely to cause a cluster of epidemics.

Fourth, the establishment of an immune barrier through vaccination and the realization of herd immunity are important goals for epidemic prevention and control, which can reduce or even stop the epidemic.

Children are also part of the population, and they are also an important part of herd immunization work.

  There is no significant difference between safety and adult vaccination

  2. At this stage, what are the new coronavirus vaccines that can be used to vaccinate people aged 3-11?

  According to the research and development progress of the new coronavirus vaccine and the research and demonstration by relevant departments, there are currently three technical routes for vaccines approved for use in my country. 3 doses of recombinant protein vaccine.

  At present, the only technical route of vaccines approved for emergency use by people aged 3 to 17 years is the inactivated vaccine, including the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine of the Sinopharm Beijing Institute, the Wuhan Institute of New Coronavirus and the Kexingzhongwei New Coronavirus Inactivated Vaccine.

  Vaccination of the new crown pneumonia is an important measure to control the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. According to the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, people over the age of 12 have been vaccinated against the new crown virus in the early stage.

On the basis of the previous vaccination work, my country has accelerated the relevant research on the use of the new coronavirus vaccine in people aged 3-11.

  According to the expert opinions of the vaccine research and development team of the scientific research group, the safety and immunogenicity of the new coronavirus inactivated vaccine in people aged 3-11 years are not significantly different from those of people over 18 years old.

  4. How about the deployment and advancement of the new crown vaccine for people aged 3-11?

Third, if the child is particularly nervous, the guardian needs to do a good job of psychological counseling, and beware of the psychogenic reactions that children over 5 years old may have.

Fourth, we must cooperate with local prevention and control work, and strictly do a good job in personal protection of guardians and children.

  After being vaccinated with the new crown vaccine, the guardian should accompany the child to observe the vaccination site for 30 minutes to avoid strenuous exercise of the child.

At the vaccination site or after returning home, if a child has symptoms of discomfort, he should promptly report to the vaccination unit and seek medical attention if necessary.
