The new crown vaccine developed by Academician Chen Wei's team has entered the first-phase clinical trial. News about vaccine volunteers has been hotly searched for a while. Netizens are very curious about the first batch of "one hundred and eight generals" participating in vaccination. Among them were the first female volunteer in the low-dose group, No. 004, Jin Guanping who had participated in the preparation of the Fangcai Hospital; Vol. 005, a guitar boy, Fan Rui during the closure of Wuhan; No. 009 veteran, the Internet celebrity handsome Zhu Aobing, and the middle-dose group. No. 038 Wuhan University master, marathon master Ren Chao and high-dose group runner No. 084, Mo Shiqi who loves reading. Volunteers include men, women and children who live in Wuhan. They are ordinary people from all walks of life. They obtained their own unique code for vaccinating clinical trials during the epidemic, recording their unforgettable experience from online registration, participation in vaccination, and quarantine observation.

Voice of Vaccination

The name Pathfinder is too heavy

I can't afford it

"Hello everyone, my name is Ren Chao. Today is my sixth day of isolation and observation. I am in good physical condition without any adverse reactions. Thank you for your concern." A small video every two or three minutes every day, the same opening remarks , Ren Chao used vlog to share with netizens his isolation life after receiving the new crown vaccine.

From signing up as a volunteer to successful vaccination, Ren Chao's vaccination experience can be described as ups and downs. On March 17, Ren Chao, who ended his work, opened the marathon runners group as usual, and wanted to see what everyone had talked about today. Although many events have been suspended due to the epidemic, talking to a group of friends has made Ren Chao very happy. Suddenly, a link forwarded by a group of friends caught his eye. "It seems to be related to the New Crown Vaccine." With curiosity, Ren Chao took a closer look and discovered that the New Crown Vaccine developed by Academician Chen Wei's team has entered a phase of clinical trials and is recruiting volunteers.

Ren Chao's volunteer certificate and vaccination process

He lives in Wuhan, is in good health, and is 18-60 years old. Ren Chao feels that he is all fit and wants to sign up. Because of working at the Security Department of Wuhan University and taking advantage of the convenience of work, Ren Chao also went to the teacher of the School of Life Sciences to "seek popular science." After knowing the basics of vaccines, sign up decisively. For registration and physical examination, Ren Chao was considered early. The low-dose group should be vaccinated according to the batch, but Ren Chao, who was eventually numbered 038, became a member of the medium-dose group. "Isolation will take 14 days after the vaccination. I will go to the unit and ask for leave," Ren Chao said.

During the epidemic, Ren Chao's work was very busy, not only responsible for temperature measurement and epidemic prevention at the entrance of Wuhan University, but also responsible for the closed management of the core area of ​​cherry blossoms. On the morning of March 19th, a qualified call was received from the medical examination. Ren Chao hurriedly and the leader of the security department asked for leave. During the epidemic prevention period, the Ministry of Security could not approve the half-month leave, and the leader helped him to apply for the personnel department. For this special leave request, the personnel department also reported it to the school leader. In the end, the leader not only granted the leave, but also ordered him to take good care of it. Take care and pay attention to your body.

After the news of the new crown vaccine came out, many netizens praised the volunteers as warriors and pathfinders during the epidemic. However, Ren Chao felt that this title was too heavy to bear. He said via video and netizens: "In our eyes, the real pathfinder is Academician Chen Wei and her scientific research team. As far as we know, the vaccine was injected into Academician Chen Wei when it first came out. So They are the pathfinders who keep going, and we just chose to stand up and follow their footsteps. "

Respond to queries

We are volunteers

Not a professional tester

With praise and some questioning voices appearing, who are these volunteers, Wang Youqi? Some people even left a message asking whether the volunteer is a professional tester, and is it profitable to participate in clinical trials? In fact, they are all self-registered and come from all walks of life.

Mo Shiqi getting vaccinated

Mo Shiqi learned that the information for recruiting volunteers was seen from Ren Chao's circle of friends. As long-distance running enthusiasts, Mo Shiqi and Ren Chao have participated in several marathon events together and also joined a common group of runners. The experience shared by Ren Chao before and after the vaccination allowed Mo Shiqi to understand the vaccination process, which she felt was a meaningful thing.

The new crown vaccine is divided into 3 groups and randomly assigned according to the time of vaccination. The 36 people who were initially vaccinated belonged to the low-dose group, the volunteers numbered 037-072 belonged to the medium-dose group, and the last vaccinated 073-108 belonged to the high-dose group. member. Mo Shiqi's serial number is 084, belonging to the last 36 high-dose group subjects, who need to inject a vaccine into the deltoid muscles on the left and right upper arms.

Recalling her experience from registration to vaccination, Mo Shiqi was not as calm as other people, nor was she nervous or scared, but rather a little worried. Although she has been running and fitness for a long time, she is not sure whether she can pass every indicator. "After I took the physical examination results, I met a girl who came together because she had a low platelet content and was not selected. Her expression looked very regrettable." When Mo Shiqi signed up, the information about vaccine recruitment volunteers had been circulated. It was very wide, because of the large number of applicants, the scientific research team had to close the registration channel in advance.

On the basis of good health, the research team sent informed consent to each volunteer, telling them to quit at any time before vaccination. At the same time, the volunteers participated in the clinical trials and received the consent and understanding of their families. Zhu Aobing told his family before the vaccination, and they all felt that he could be particularly proud of contributing to the development of the vaccine. His family has three generations of military experience. His father, who is retiring next year, still stands as a policeman at the front line of epidemic prevention.

Ren Chao told his mother only after passing the physical examination. He usually runs a marathon and climbed the snow mountain, and his mother was a bit reassured. This time, the mother did not stop him. Jin Guanping University majored in pharmacy and worked in a pharmaceutical company. She scientifically popularized vaccines from a professional perspective, reassuring parents in her hometown.

Volunteers during the observation period generally stated that they were in good health. However, due to their different constitutions, some volunteers may have a slight reaction such as redness, itching, or fever at the beginning of the vaccination. At the initial stage of vaccination, medical staff will check the room regularly to understand the physical condition of the volunteers. Volunteers can also use a transparent control card to monitor whether their signs are within a safe range.

"The instructions of the expert group have explained to us in advance the possible reactions, and minor symptoms will subside after a few days, just like we were vaccinated when we were young," said Jin Guanping. The dedicated telephone provided in the room allows volunteers to call at any time, with medical staff answering questions 24 hours a day.

Volunteers explained that after the vaccination, they do not need to be injected with the virus and do not need to contact the patient, but to test whether antibodies have been produced in the body by drawing blood. Six months after the quarantine period, all belong to the observation period of the volunteers. Three blood tests were performed in the first, third, and sixth months after vaccination, and the volunteers needed to cooperate with scientific research. Work done by the team. Whether the volunteers are successfully vaccinated and produce anti-S protein-specific antibodies will need to wait for the test results to be announced.

First female volunteer

Also participated in the preparation of the cabin hospital

Jin Guanping mentioned the mood before the vaccination, using the word "calm", as if this activity was like her previous volunteer activities. The outbreak broke out and caught up with the New Year. Jin Guanping's work was temporarily stagnant. For nearly two months, she has been working as a volunteer.

Jin Guanping volunteers at the Fanghang Hospital

During the surge in cases in Wuhan, gyms in various districts began to be converted into square cabin hospitals. A lot of preparation work is needed before the opening of the hospital, and Jin Guanping became one of them. "I went to Hongshan Gymnasium, one of the first three square cabin hospitals." Within 48 hours, the empty gymnasium will be converted into a hospital filled with beds, and the pressure on volunteers is not small. Jin Guanping is responsible for laying electric blankets, arranging bed sheets and quilts for the patient, so that each patient can live there.

Recalling her work at that time, Jin Guanping couldn't remember how many of them were in the 800 beds. She just remembered that more than a dozen volunteers and staff at the site were extremely efficient. By the early morning of the third day, the Fangcai Hospital was fully prepared to receive patients.

Fan Rui unloading materials

After that, Jin Guanping also joined the love team to pick up medical staff and participated in the distribution of donated materials. However, she felt that the experience was “not bad, just that it was needed, and I was here.” Right now, although in the isolation period, Jin Guanping continued to pay attention to the information of public welfare activities. Recently, a caring person from Fujian donated 7,200 masks to people in need and sanitation workers in Wuhan. Jin Guanping is a contact person in Wuhan. After the quarantine period, he must quickly release the supplies.

Fan Rui, who has a similar experience with Jin Guanping, was a mass volunteer during the Wuhan closure and joined several common service groups. "I've done it like picking up medical staff along the way and unloading aids."

Fan Rui in isolation

One of the activities that impressed Fan Rui most was to unload the car from the warehouse with a caravan of consignments for "Gang Zige". "Gangzi Brother" is the founder of the Charity Foundation of the Overseas Chinese Charity Foundation of China. He assembled 15 large trucks and 9 support vehicles from different provinces to transport materials from Jiangxi to Wuhan.

"Materials include medical supplies such as masks and disinfectants, as well as food that can be stored, which adds up to a total of more than 300 tons." Fan Rui's job is to remove the contents of the car, transport them to the designated location in the warehouse, and wait for the relevant agencies Receive supplies.

Just unloading the truck, Fan Rui made three or four trips to Qingshan's warehouse. He didn't feel bitter when moving things, but he was particularly distressed by the car drivers. "They lived in a warehouse in a tent, and they had to bear the light rain. They could only leave after getting a permit from the Han." Eventually, the members of the caring team passed the test and were preparing to leave Han. Fan Rui also invested in The next paragraph of volunteer work went.

Volunteer lunch

Segregated life

Volunteers become small experts

During the quarantine, the most shared by volunteers in the circle of friends was food and beverage photos, and everyone generally said that "the food is good and the food can't be eaten." All three meals were delivered to the small cabinet at the door of the room on time by the staff. The vegetarian meals were mixed without re-sampling every day. The staple foods included rice, noodles and coarse grains. Authentic Wuhan cuisine such as hot dry noodles, rice wine dumplings, crayfish and so on are always loved by volunteers. Ren Chao jokingly said that every morning he was woken up by the staff with a clear cry, "Cold without breakfast."

As the three meals were too abundant, many volunteers could not eat the fruits and drinks that came with them, and gradually piled up a lot, and even formed a trend of complementary supplies and bartering.

The volunteers built a group, which gradually grew from the first dozen people to more than 90 people. Jin Guanping was known in the group as "rich woman" and "good shopper". She was one of the four volunteers who first settled in the quarantine. The vaccination was completed early on March 17. She was full when she had dinner, and the apples, pears, milk, and beverages she poured down filled the table. She took a picture, matched her house number and sent it to the group, and then transferred the food to the small cabinet at the door, so that the volunteers who came in later took whatever they needed.

As the quarantine time passed, the volunteers gradually warmed up to each other. In addition to sharing their vaccination experience, everyone also enjoyed chatting in groups. A big brother who is a lawyer said with arrogance that he would need legal aid in spite of finding him. There are milk tea enthusiasts ordering takeaway, and then ask the staff to help get to the door. Ren Chaokai shared the story of running a marathon live, and other volunteers played Call for gifts online for him.

Volunteers sharing isolation life in groups has become the norm. Ren Chao said that once there was a volunteer who did not have a straw for yogurt, we joked that with a straw, how can you experience the joy of licking Gael?

Life is well taken care of, but the volunteers in isolation cannot relax completely, they have their own small tasks every day. According to the requirements of the scientific research team, everyone received a few things when they checked in, and cooperated with the experimental data monitoring. A transparent control card helps volunteers measure if there is redness at the injection site. The vaccination record card is used to record the body temperature and other physical indicators of the volunteers. The silicone thermometer attached to the underarms requires continuous observation of the body temperature of the volunteers for seven consecutive days. In addition, several blood tests to detect antibodies are also required for volunteers to complete.

The 14-day observation period quickly passed. By April 1, the first 4 volunteers who had been vaccinated were able to return home. Jin Guanping said that after staying at the isolation point for more than ten days, life became very regular. I used to stay up all night at home and couldn't wake up in the morning. I woke up at 7:30 in the morning every day when I was isolated. In the afternoon, you can also follow the short video to do an exercise and exercise, your mental state is particularly good.

Face your life

Volunteers from all walks of life

Big difference

After the vaccination, the volunteers were uniformly placed in a sanitarium for isolation, one person, one room. Because the scientific research team had been notified long ago, the volunteers had prepared something to relieve boring during quarantine before coming. Fan Rui brought a guitar. He said humbly that he didn't play well and was still in the learning stage. The neighbor who lives in the room next to him is also a music lover, and wants to use the isolation period to record and sing a song to help the epidemic. So Fan Rui put the guitar on the cabinet at the door after practicing the piano every day, and sent a WeChat to let the neighbor go out to get it.

Mo Shiqi likes to read books. Reading two books a month is a habit she has adhered to for many years. This time she took "Kite Chaser" and "Shadow Stealer" to the quarantine point, hoping to use these 14 days to read them all.

Marathon enthusiast Ren Chao deliberately brought a few more sportswear. After consulting the staff, apart from being unable to take a shower the previous two days and not exercising, Ren Chao would exercise in the room every day, with push-ups, abdominal crunches, and running in place to maintain physical fitness. He also plans to refresh his best record in Malaysia 2 hours and 45 minutes after the epidemic is over.

Zhu Aobing vaccination

Zhu Aobing is a popular man among the volunteers. The vlog netizens he took are particularly fond of watching, and some netizens said that his military uniform photos are like a popular male star. Zhu Aobing writes in the morning and records and publishes videos in the afternoon. To ensure the effect, he even recorded a video dozens of times. His fate with the video originated from a two-year military career. Entering the army at the age of 18, Zhu Aobing served in the propaganda department, and learned the techniques of shooting and post-editing with his comrades-in-arms. Now 27 years old, he returned to Wuhan to run a camera and aerial photography company with friends, taking care of both interests and work.

At the same time, volunteers are completing their work in isolation. Mo Shiqi, who works at a telecommunications company, is a customer service. He has been working from home before the vaccination and is helping customers with problems online. During the epidemic, the business hall was not open and the online business was busy. Mo Shiqi still guaranteed to work from Monday to Friday at the isolation point and worked non-stop. Fan Rui and Jin Guanping, who work at pharmaceutical companies, also resumed work online, using their own computers to contact customers and handle business.

The five volunteers in the article are the epitome of the first batch of 108 new crown vaccinators. All 108 vaccinators live in Wuhan. They are ordinary people from all walks of life in the society. Among them are party members and the masses. There are also people over half a year old. Some people like to record their lives through social media, and some people have declined all media interviews. Some people will return to their jobs silently after the quarantine is over, while others write down petitions, hoping that they can go to the front line to do volunteer services with antibodies. In any case, when the epidemic is over, recalling the spring of 2020, a unique three-digit number will carry a unique memory that they have contributed to the fight against the epidemic.
