The Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has recently issued guidelines for the prevention of nucleic acid environmental pollution in the new crown vaccination sites.
According to the guidelines, after the injection is completed, a special person should be responsible for supervising the recipients to discard the cotton swabs that press the inoculation site in a designated recycling container, and not to take them away from the site.
The guidelines require COVID-19 vaccination sites to prepare pre-vaccination materials.
In order to reduce the nucleic acid contamination of the vaccine at the vaccination site, before vaccination, each vaccination table should be placed with a disposable treatment sheet and a disposable treatment tray, with gauze placed in the tray and infiltrated with medical alcohol.
The new crown vaccination operation process should be standardized. During the vaccination process, the injection liquid exhaust should be completed directly above the treatment plate.
During the exhaust process, care should be taken to avoid the generation of scum, if any scum must be dripped into the treatment tray.
During the operation, care should be taken to keep the alcohol gauze moist, replace it in time according to the situation and dispose of it as medical waste.
The management of medical waste at the vaccination site should be strengthened. After the injection is completed, a special person should be responsible for supervising the recipient to discard the cotton swabs that press the vaccination site in the designated recycling container, and shall not be taken away from the site.
All medical wastes should be collected in a centralized manner and treated in strict accordance with the "Medical Waste Management Regulations"; temporary vaccination sites not located in medical institutions should bring all medical wastes back to centralized processing.
The vaccine packaging box and vaccine instructions should be kept in the inoculation unit and treated as medical waste.
Vaccines should be handled with care during cold chain transportation and vaccination to prevent fragmentation or spillage.
New crown vaccination sites should be cleaned. After the daily vaccination work is over, the floor, the vaccination table, door handles, the ground and the surfaces that may be contaminated are disinfected daily as required, and then wiped with clean water for thorough cleaning.
