[Explanation] China's influenza vaccination work has been carried out one after another. Due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the public is paying more attention to the prevention and control of infectious diseases, and the demand for vaccination has also increased.
Recently, a reporter from China News Service came to visit the vaccination site of Dahongmen Community Health Service Center in Fengtai District, Beijing. Some people who successfully made an appointment at their own expense said that compared with previous years, this year's appointment is indeed more "hand speed".
[Concurrent] Ms. Wang, the vaccinator
The number in the morning is seconds away.
[Concurrent] Ms. Li, the vaccinator
I have made appointments with two private hospitals, but they are no longer available. They are both scheduled until November.
[Explanation] Two vaccinators said that to be able to make an appointment for vaccination, you need to master some methods: one is to lower expectations and not to be picky; second, to get stuck and start rushing, and you can consider more community health service centers.
[Concurrent] Ms. Wang, the vaccinator
I just watch whichever is available. Now it’s no longer talking about the time of the candidate, or just make an appointment as soon as possible. In fact, I also go to work today, but I just come back to play midway.
[Concurrent] Ms. Li, the vaccinator
Try the community (vaccination site), I didn't expect it to be an appointment.
We stuck at 12 o'clock at night, and then deliberately robbed the whole family of this vaccination opportunity, which is relatively easy to grab.
[Explanation] The Beijing flu vaccine started on September 25. Due to the epidemic, all vaccination was scheduled to be scheduled to avoid crowds gathering in line.
Despite this, the staff at the vaccination sites can still feel that the number of vaccinations has increased compared with previous years. They told reporters that the total number of adult influenza vaccination in 2020 is expected to double from 2019.
[Concurrent] Zhang Qing, Chief of Health Section, Dahongmen Community Health Service Center, Fengtai District, Beijing
We made an appointment one week in advance, and it can be filled every day.
Last year (2019), we made a statistics and it was probably more than 800 (adults' self-funded vaccines). This year (2020) for adults over 3 years old, we now have more than 200. It is expected that (total) will be at least The amount doubled last year.
[Explanation] Zhang Qing revealed that each vaccination site will be planned in advance to estimate how many vaccines need to be received. Therefore, the vaccine supply at each vaccination site may vary due to the planned receiving amount. The public can consult multiple vaccination sites for information.
[Concurrent] Zhang Qing, Chief of Health Section, Dahongmen Community Health Service Center, Fengtai District, Beijing
We probably got twice as many as last year (2019).
Because we think that there will be more people vaccinated this year than last year because of the impact of the epidemic.
[Explanation] Zhang Qing said that in addition to the flu vaccines vaccinated by adults at their own expense, they have also increased the amount of free flu vaccines for primary and middle school students and the elderly. As the vaccines are gradually distributed to vaccination points in batches, subsequent vaccine supply Will become more and more sufficient.
