China News Service, Beijing, September 30. The China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on the 30th that the global new crown epidemics are one after another. Autumn and winter are the seasons for respiratory diseases. Lower temperatures are conducive to the survival and spread of new crowns and influenza viruses. The new crown epidemic and influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases overlap the risk of epidemics. Therefore, the prevention and control of seasonal influenza this year is even more important.
At present, the level of influenza activity in China's southern and northern provinces continues to remain at an extremely low level. Only influenza viruses have been detected sporadically, and the antigenicity, genetic characteristics, and drug resistance of the virus have not significantly changed.
How to get the flu vaccine correctly, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention pointed out: 1. Influenza vaccine can be vaccinated throughout the influenza epidemic season, and it is best to complete the vaccination before the end of October; 2. According to the regulations of China's 2015 version and the latest 2020 version of the "Pharmacopoeia" , "Egg allergy" is no longer a contraindication for influenza vaccination, but those who are allergic to the ingredients contained in the vaccine (such as excipients, formaldehyde, splitting agents, etc.) cannot receive influenza vaccination; 3. Fever, cough and other mild symptoms before vaccination Relieve symptoms and wait until the condition is cured before vaccination; 4. Before vaccination, inform the doctor of the vaccines and drugs that have been used and in use; 5. Follow the vaccination procedure and observe for 30 minutes; 6. After vaccination, individual vaccinators will have the vaccination site Redness and swelling, fever, headache, fatigue, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other minor adverse reactions are usually self-limiting, so don't worry too much.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds the public that in addition to getting the flu vaccine, maintaining good personal hygiene is also the most powerful weapon against flu and the best “social vaccine”.

Open windows frequently in schools, homes, and offices for ventilation; 4. .Reasonable diet, regular work and rest; 5.
