China News Service, August 3 (Reporter Chen Jing) Wu Jinglei, director of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, said on the 3rd that as of August 2, the number of people in Shanghai who had completed the entire vaccination had reached 18.766,300, and people over 18 had completed the entire new crown vaccine. The vaccination rate has reached 85%.
The city has accumulated 38.111 million doses of vaccination.
The patients diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia have been vaccinated.
On the 3rd, Shanghai held a press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, inviting relevant persons in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, Pudong New Area and relevant experts to introduce the situation.
Talking about the protective effect of the vaccine, Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai New Coronary Pneumonia Clinical Treatment Expert Group, told reporters that there is no vaccine that can prevent infection 100%.
After the new crown vaccination, there will be high-risk people who have been vaccinated.
He said frankly: "This is inevitable." Zhang Wenhong said that so far, the world has completed more than 3 billion doses of vaccination, and there are very few cases of breakthrough infection.
He believes: "We need to compare with the time when there was no vaccine before. Once such a case occurs, the spread is very rapid." After the local confirmed case, in the first round of screening, all close contacts, especially the airport None of the close contacts was positive.
Zhang Wenhong said bluntly: "What does this mean? If people around the confirmed case are fully and extensively vaccinated, the spread of the virus will be greatly slowed down."
It is reported that currently, the vaccination rate for people over 18 years old in Shanghai has reached 85%, and the vaccination rate at the airport has reached 100%.
Zhang Wenhong said, "We have full confidence." He pointed out: "The vaccination makes the prevention and control force stronger."
"As the world is still at the time of the new crown pandemic, imported cases may occur from time to time, and our prevention and control tasks are still very arduous." Zhang Wenhong is very frank, "What about prevention and control in the future? How will everyone live? This They seem to be two things, but they are actually one thing. If prevention and control are done well, life will be normal.” He pointed out that wide-ranging, fast, and long-term epidemic prevention and control must be the basic elements.
He said bluntly, "Otherwise, everyone would not be able to live a normal life, let alone travel."
Zhang Wenhong further explained that "Guang" ranked first.
"Broad" means that the scope of vaccination is wide.
The expert pointed out that the vaccination rate for people over 18 years old has reached over 85%, but it is not enough. We must continue to fight.
"Broad" also has another meaning, that is, a wide range of screening.
He told reporters that for the local confirmed cases discovered this time, the staff screened more than 60,000 people including close contacts, sub-close contacts and key screening targets overnight.
The second is "fast", which must be dealt with at a very fast speed.
Zhang Wenhong pointed out that at present, the screening of more than 60,000 people has been completed, and a small number of results will come out soon.
The results of the first round of screening were all negative, which means "fast".
"Early" means that the epidemic is discovered early.
"We found this patient in the outpatient clinic as early as possible. We tried our best to screen and respond quickly. This way, it is possible to control the epidemic in the early stage, to solve the most critical problems in the earliest time and at the lowest cost, and then let Most people lead a normal life." Zhang Wenhong said.
"But to achieve the goal of a normal life for the people, it is not enough to rely on vaccines and the "fast" and "early" of the prevention and control forces." Zhang Wenhong still emphasized that the people should develop good hygiene habits.
"Only when vaccinations are widely vaccinated, the anti-epidemic troops work as soon as possible, and with the cooperation of the people, we can live a relatively normal life." Zhang Wenhong said.
Regarding the issue of people going out to travel, Zhang Wenhong said bluntly. Before traveling, check whether the destination is a medium-high risk area. If it is, then you can’t go.
Traveling in low-risk areas, people still have to maintain very good personal hygiene habits, including wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and avoiding crowds.
For very old or chronically ill patients and other high-risk groups with low immunity, if they are not vaccinated, "I don't think it is suitable to travel."
Zhang Wenhong pointed out: "For those who have not completed the full course of immunization of the new crown vaccine or the elderly and patients with chronic diseases who have not been inoculated for 14 days after vaccination, I think it is not time to travel." (End)
